NOTE: Digital display automatically turns off after several seconds.
Storing and Recalling Weights
1.Your scale can store and recall up to 5 weights. If your scale has one button, weights can be stored for one user. If your scale has two buttons (User and Save/Recall buttons), weights can be stored for multiple users.
2.Tap center of scale platform with foot and wait until "00.0" appears.
3.Step on platform, adjust your position according to the leveler indicator on the display (for models with leveler function only). Stand without shifting or moving until weight is displayed.
4.For single user scale: When weight reading appears on screen, step off the scale, press Save/Recall button and hold for about 2 seconds to save the reading.
For multiple user scale: When weight reading appears on screen, step off the scale, and press User button to select a user number. Then press Save/Recall button for 2 seconds to save the reading.
5.Weight reading blinks twice, then becomes stable. A small number
5 weights is displayed. (Once you have 5 weights in memory the current weight always saves as "1" and the oldest reading is eliminated.)
6.Weight Reading is saved. Press Save/Recall button to review the last 5 weights or let the scale shut down automatically. (Note: until you have 5 weights stored in memory, the display will show "20lbs" or another weight for each weight
for which no data point has been entered yet. These initial test weights will be replaced with your stored weights over the next few weighings.)
Memory Recall
Single user scale: press Save/Recall button at any time in power on mode to review the last 5 weights.
Multiple user scale: To review the last 5 weights of the current user, press Save/Recall button at any time in power on mode. To see weights without weighing yourself first, press User button to select your user number and then press Save/Recall button to review your weights.
Your most recent weight is displayed as "1", the one before that as "2" and so on. Whenever you save a new weight, the oldest weight is eliminated from the lineup.
Facts You Should Know
Your Weight Watchers scale is a precise measuring instrument that is most accurate when weighing a stationary object. To ensure the most accurate readings, always try to stand on the same area of the scale platform and DO NOT MOVE. Should the weight on the scale exceed the scale’s capacity, you may see an error message ”ERR”.
Electronic sensors are sensitive. Be careful not to drop or jar the scale. Place it gently onto floor surface, and store where it will be protected from impact. The scale is an electronic instrument and should never be submerged in water. Clean with damp cloth and/or glass cleaner.

Important Information Concerning Weight Management
Your scale is the best tool for monitoring weight. While not the only measure of weight loss, scales are the most popular method used to gauge
Body weight fluctuates during the day, and from day to day, depending on a variety of factors.
•Salt and carbohydrate intake can affect the body’s water retention.
•A large meal adds weight and can cause water retention.
•Dehydration from exercise, illness, or low fluid intake can result in weight loss.
•Muscle is also a factor.
•The menstrual cycle can cause temporary weight gains and losses.
