Troubleshooting

If the following problems occur... then...

"st-lb" or "kg" appears while taking a weight measurement.

The unit’s “Weight Mode” has been set to measure your weight in units of stone pounds or kilograms. Refer to Selecting the Weight Mode (lb, kg or st-lb)on p.4 if you would like to change the setting back to pounds (lb).

Nothing appears on the display screen after initial display of preset data.

Check foot alignment. Make sure you wait for “0.0” to appear before stepping on the platform. Check to see that the batteries are fresh and are in the correct positions.

“Lo” appears on the display, or all display data appears and immediately disappears.

Batteries are low. Replace batteries immediately.

The display shows “- - - - -” and goes off when a Personal Key is pressed.

No data (Adult/Athlete/Child, Female/Male and Height) has been stored in the memory of the Personal Key. Preprogram with personal data.

“Error” or “- - - - -” appears, or the power shuts off while measuring.

Be sure that you have selected the correct user mode (Adult/Athlete/ Child, Female/Male and Height), that socks or stockings have been removed, and that the soles of your feet are clean and properly aligned with the guides on the measuring platform. Consider whether or not you have selected the correct Personal Key and make sure that you waited for “0.0” to appear before stepping on the platform. Step off and repeat steps on p.6 (Taking Weight & Body Fat Readings).

“OL” appears while measuring.

Reading can not be obtained if the weight capacity (300 lb/136 kg/ 21 st-6 lb) is exceeded.

Note: If body fat percentage is more than 75%, readings can not be obtained from the unit.

The display flashes “--no--” and a Personal Key number alter- nately, and “X” flashes in the Graph area.

This message is part of the BF-572’s built-in memory protection feature, which prevents individuals from taking readings using an incorrect Personal Key and adding skewed data to the Graph. The unit compares the current weight reading to the last result, and if there is a significant difference, it will display this message.

When you see this message, make sure that you have selected the correct Personal Key.

If the Personal Key number is wrong, do not press any of the keys or buttons. Step off the platform and the alternating message will disappear. Then the unit will shut off automatically and current result will not be stored.

If the Personal Key is correct and you would like the new reading

to be stored, press while the display is still flashing. As usual, your current result will appear on the display, and the graph will store your result.

The body fat percentage reading does not appear after the weight is measured.

Vibration will interfere with the fat percentage reading. Be sure to stand erect and still on the measuring platform. Do not bend your knees. Be sure that shoes and socks are removed and check foot alignment. Step off and repeat steps on p.6.
