Battery Installation and First Time Setup
1. This scale operates on 3 AAA batteries (included. Remove any plastic
wrap from the batteries before proceeding). IInsert the batteries as indicated by the polarity symbols in the battery compartment, or place
the at side of the battery against the spring.
2. The scale needs to be initialized and calibrated before rst use and
after moving your scale. Place scale on at, hard surface. The harder
the surface the more accurate your readings will be. Carpeted or
uneven oors may affect accuracy.
3. Firmly press the glass platform to activate the scale but do not stand on the platform. Allow the scale to read '0.0' and wait for it to turn off. Your scale is now calibrated and you can step on and weigh yourself normally.
4. If you move the scale again you must repeat step #3 to calibrate again.
5. Replace the batteries when the scale indicates 'Lo' on the display. To
replace the batteries:
Use three AAA batteries. Insert the batteries as indicated by the
polarity symbols in the battery compartment, or place the at side of
the battery against the spring. Always replace all batteries at the same time; do not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc) or rechargeable (ni-cad, ni-mh, etc.) batteries.
NOTE:
1. A new set of batteries should last for approximately one year under
moderate use (less than 3 times daily). The batteries included with your scale are trial batteries and may last a shorter length of time.
2. Dispose of batteries within the legal restrictions of local government.
3. Batteries may pose a choking hazard. As with all small items, do not
let children handle batteries. If swallowed, seek medical attention immediately.
4. Do not dispose of batteries in re. Batteries may explode or leak.
Remove the batteries if the scale will not be used for a long period of time.

CalPal™
How does the CalPal™ Scale Work?
The CalPal™ scale uses your gender, height, age and an activity level setting to calculate the estimated number of calories you can consume a day to maintain your present weight. This estimation may gradually help you with a weight loss, gain or maintenance plan. Use on-line software to estimate your calorie consumption, or journal your calories in a calorie factor booklet from an EatSmart Precision Food Scale to help make a difference.
Weighing Operation
Your EatSmart Bathroom Scale operates as a basic body weighing scale. No special programming is required.
1. Select your desired measurement unit. Your scale is set to default
to pounds at the factory but you can switch the measurements to kilograms by pressing the unit button, located on the underside of
your scale, while the scale is on. (Press rmly on the platform or press
the “MEM” (memory) button to turn the scale on.)
2. Place the scale on a hard, at surface. Carpeted, uneven or
cushioned ooring can negatively affect the accuracy of the reading.
When in doubt, call EatSmart at 866-843-3905 (8 to 5 MST).
3. Initialize the scale. If you are placing the scale down for the rst time
or moving your unit you must rst auto-calibrate the scale (see steps
2-4 under "Battery Information and First Time Set Up" section of this manual.)
4. Step on. Place both feet on the center of the glass and stand still.
5. Your weight will appear on the LCD. Your weight will blink 3 times
when your nal weight has been calculated.
6. Step off the scale. The scale will turn off automatically after
approximately 10 seconds.
OPERATION
Important: Your EatSmart scale operates with "Step-On"
technology but still needs to be auto-calibrated after battery installation or after the scale is moved, to ensure accuracy.
Firmly press the glass platform to activate the scale but DO NOT stand on the platform. Allow the scale to read '0.0' and wait for it to turn off. Your scale is now calibrated and you can step on and weigh yourself normally.
Any weight management program is a balance between exercise and calorie intake. Knowing your daily estimated calorie intake every day, and focusing on calorie content of the foods you eat, can be a major motivational factor to reach you goal.
Following are 2 examples of the CalPal™ scale in use: Jack is: 6’ tall 35 years old 220 Lbs
• CalPal™ shows he needs to consume 2542 calories per day to remain at 220 pounds.
• Jack decides to cut 300 calories per day from his diet while maintaining his current activity level.
• In less than 12 days Jack may lose up to a pound (based on calories alone)
• In one year Jack may lose up to 31.29 pounds (based on calories alone)
Jill is: 5’6” tall 32 years old 140 Lbs
• CalPal™ shows she needs to consume 1708 calories per day to remain at 140 pounds.
• Jill also decides to cut 300 calories per day from her diet while maintaining her current activity level.
• In less than 12 days Jill may lose up to a pound (based on calories alone)
• In one year Jill may lose up to 31.29 pounds (based on calories alone)
IMPORTANT: Proper calorie intake and nutrition are important to maintain a
healthy body. Always consult a physician before undertaking any exercise or diet program.

REMINDER: The scale needs to be initialized and calibrated after battery installation or after the scale is moved. At all other times, you may directly proceed with the following instructions for programming your personal data into the scale.
To initialize the scale, press rmly on the scale platform while the scale is on. The
scale will turn on and automatically turn off. Your scale is now ready for use.
BMI is a ratio between height and weight. It is a fairly reliable indicator of body fat for most adults. BMI is an inexpensive alternative to direct measurements of body fat, such as underwater weighing, but it is only one of many factors that you and your health-care provider should use in evaluating your health status.

CalPal™ and BMI Operation
In order for your CalPal™ scale to estimate calories and compute your BMI number,
you must rst enter your gender, height, age, and an activity level selection. The scale
uses these factors to calculate your results. Onscreen prompts will lead you through programming your personal information into the scale. The scale will then use this data to compute your results.
This scale has 4 personal memory numbers (P1-P4). In order to estimate calories
and compute BMI, you must rst save your gender, height, age, and an activity
level selection into memory. The scale will then use these factors to calculate your CalPal™ and BMI results.
You will store your data into memory before rst use, thus eliminating the need to
enter your personal information before each reading. With the scale turned off…
1. Press the “MEM” (memory) button. The scale turns on and a memory number
(P1-P4) blinks.
2. Press the (▲) or (▼) button to select a memory number. Press the “SEL” button
to select. A gender icon blinks.
3. Press the (▲) or (▼) button to toggle between the male and female icons. Press
the “SEL” button to conrm your gender. The height digits blink.
4. Press the (▲) or (▼) button to increase / decrease the height value. Press the “SEL”
button to select displayed height. The age digits blink.
5. Press the (▲) or (▼) button to increase / decrease the age value. Press the “SEL”
button to select displayed age. An activity level number blinks.
6. Press the (▲) or (▼) button to increase / decrease the activity level. Select your
Activity Level according to the following guidelines:
• AC 1 = Sedentary / very inactive: little or no exercise
• AC 2 = Limited Activity: exercise/sports 1-3 days a week
• AC 3 = Moderate Activity: exercise/sports 4-5 days a week
• AC 4 = Very Active: exercise/sports 6-7 days a week
• AC 5 = Extremely Active: physically demanding exercise/sports or athletic
training
Press the “SEL” button to conrm your activity level and all other selections.
7. When the scale shows zero, you may step on the scale for a measurement.
Otherwise, the scale will turn off automatically. Your data remains saved in memory.
8. To change personal data, repeat the above steps.
Note: You have approximately 10 seconds to complete each programming step.
If no buttons are pressed within 10 seconds, the scale will turn off automatically to conserve battery power. If this occurs, simply repeat the programming steps above.
