FAQs - Scales

I received my scale and my first weight reading was really wrong. What happened?

The scale may need to be initialized. This process is necessary because the scale was moved during the shipping process. Initializing the scale "re-seats" the internal parts allowing the scale to find the correct "zero." Here is how to initialize your scale:

1. Place the scale back on a hard surface floor.
2. 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.
3. Wait for the scale to turn off again.
4. Step up onto the scale for a weight.

Or, your scale may be on an uneven surface or on carpet. Be sure to place your scale on a hard, flat surface to get an accurate weighing.

Free manual for a different model that might be helpful:

The battery has numbers on it, search those numbers

your age changes every second but your height will be tough to change

If the scale is moved or bumped, or the battery is replaced, the scale needs to be initialized before use.

To initialize, just press on the platform with your foot. The display will turn on and off. The scale is ready for use once again.
