SOURCE: scale appears to be inaccurate

this type of less resoluted scale hasn't repeatability. if you wish to repair it, change the loadcell. use 2 x scale capacity of load cell.

SOURCE: resetting the scale

You do not reset the scale. It only saves the last recorded weight of the user. So, if you weighed yesterday, it will put your recorded weight in memory. The next time you select your user number and step on the scale, it will compute the difference from your previous record and save your current weight.

SOURCE: Err 1 message on Taylor Lithium Elec Scale model 7346

This is a reply I received from Taylor customer support. I have followed this procedure enough times to wear out the original battery and still get the Err 1 message. You may have better luck.

Thank you for your e-mail. The reboot below may clear the error from
your scale. You may need to do this several times to completely reboot
the system. Please let us know if you have any questions or continue to
display the Error.


1. Remove the battery from the scale
2. Set the scale on the floor without the battery in place.
3. Stand on the scale for 10 seconds (still without the battery)
4. Carefully replace the battery without turning the scale on.
5. Using only one foot, tap the scale or apply just enough pressure to
turn on the display. (It should show dashes or zero's) IMMEDIATELY
REMOVE YOUR FOOT.
6. Let the scale turn off
7. Step on the scale for a weight reading

SOURCE: I have a Taylor body fat analyzer and scale model

From the Taylor Site http://www.taylorusa.com/faq-scales

Here are the basic ERR messages and their meanings:

• Error 0: Initialization
• Error 1: Instability (scale is on an uneven surface ex: carpet)
• Error 2: Unit may have been jarred or unit was overloaded (customer went over the maximum weight capacity)
• Error 3: Contact error (Feet were not wet for Body fat reading, feet aren’t big enough to reach sensors)
• Error 4: Body fat is out of range
• Error 5: Water is out of range

1. Remove the battery from the scale.
2. Sit the scale on a hard surface floor.
3. Step up onto the scale, stand still for about 5 seconds and step off the scale.
4. Re-install your battery.
5. Place the scale back on a hard surface floor.
6. With one foot only, place just enough weight on the scale for the display shows zero’s or dashes. Once you see zeros or dashes remove your foot.
7. Wait for the scale to turn off again.
8. Step up onto the scale for a weight.
