INITIAL PROCEDURES

SET UNIT OF MEASUREMENT

Your scale is set to read weight in pounds (lb). You may select kilograms (kg) or stone (st lb) (1 stone = 14 pounds) units of measurement by pressing the “UNIT / CONNECT” button on the bottom of the scale. Quick single clicks will change the units that display.

connect to the Bluetooth® app to be sure you have the preferred unit displayed.

DOWNLOAD SmarTrack™ APP & SET UP USER PROFILE

Download the FREE SmarTrack™ application from either the App Store (for iOS devices) or Google play (for Android devices). Use keyword search terms “SmarTrack”, “Smart Scale”,

“Smart Bath Scale”, “Weight Scale” or “Bluetooth Scale”.

Once you have downloaded the SmarTrack™ App, it is important that any Smart Scale users follow the on-screen instructions to register. Once you have registered on the app, enter your personal profile from your device (phone or tablet). Completing a personal profile is essential because

the data you enter (gender, height, normal/athlete, age, activity level) is necessary to provide you with the most accurate information.

Note: If you are sharing the scale with another user and they enter a personal profile through the scale directly, be sure you are aware of which user number they have selected. If you select their user number, your app profile will override the profile entered on the scale. Ensure all users are aware of which user numbers have already been selected.

SET ACTIVITY LEVEL

Your personal profile will include an activity level. Choose from one of the following

activity levels:

Level-1 Sedentary / very inactive: little or no exercise Level-2 Limited Activity: exercise/sports 1-3 days a week Level-3 Moderate Activity: exercise/sports 4-5 days a week Level-4 Very Active: exercise/sports 6-7 days a week

Level-5 Extremely Active: physically demanding exercise/sports or athletic training

SET GOAL WEIGHT

From your home page, tap the edit user icon ( ) and then tap the goal weight button. From the goal weight page, turn the feature on and scroll right or left, or use the – and + keys to set your goal weight.

Set your goal date by tapping on the date and scrolling. Use the ( ) to save and return to your user profile page, hit the ( ) again to go to the home page.

Once the profile is complete, it will transmit the user information to the scale during the next transmission.

EDIT USER PROFILE

To change a profile, tap the user profile icon () and then make changes to the data as necessary. Once the changes are made, tap the back button ( ) to save the changes.

SET UP BLUETOOTH® CONNECTION

Your SMART SCALE estimates body fat %, total body water%, muscle mass, daily calorie estimates and weight, and then it transmits your results to an app on a mobile device using Bluetooth® 4.0 technology.

1.Turn on the Smart Scale by stepping on it with a bare foot until “0.0” displays.

2.Ensure your Bluetooth setting is “On” in your mobile device

(Example: Settings > Bluetooth > On) By now you should have downloaded the SmarTrack™ App, registered and set-up your user profile.

3. From your home page, select the settings icon ( ), select

add device (

), select SmarTrack™ Bluetooth Body Analyzer.

Then quickly pick up the scale and turn it over and press and hold the “UNIT / CONNECT” button (Note: it may take up to 30

seconds for the device to detect the Bluetooth signal.)

4.The Add Device screen will then indicate that the scale has connected when “SmarTrack™ Bluetooth Body Analyzer found” is displayed on your screen.

5.Select SmarTrack™ Bluetooth Body Analyzer and it will take you to the “Pair User” screen where you will select your user number. The scale can store data for up to 8 users. Tap your user number

and it will take you to the “Completed” screen. Tap “Done”

and it will take you back to your home page.

Note: If you are sharing the scale with another user and they

enter a personal profile through the scale directly, be sure you are aware of which user number they have selected. If you select their user number, your app profile will override the profile entered on the scale. Ensure all users are aware of which user numbers have already been selected.

6. The Smart Scale is now ready for use.

CONNECTION TROUBLESHOOTING

If the transmission fails, repeat above steps. To improve transmission connection, follow these guidelines:

a) Place the scale and Bluetooth® device reasonably close together, between 3 and 30 feet.

b) Check there are no obstacles between the scale and the Bluetooth® for best connection.

c) Other electronics devices may cause interference (particularly those with Bluetooth); keep them at least 3 feet away from the scale.

Note: If the batteries are removed from the scale, you will not have to reconnect the scale to the app as it will still recognize the device when you replace the batteries.

DELETING A USER PROFILE FROM THE APP

In order to delete your user profile from the app, go into Settings and delete the scale device. This will disconnect the app and the scale.

MEASUREMENT PROCEDURES WITH BLUETOOTH®

To ensure accuracy, use these tips to get the most accurate and consistent readings from your scale:

•Place the scale on a flat, hard floor surface. Carpeted or uneven floors may affect accuracy. If you experience any difficulty, move the scale to a different, hard flat surface and try again.

•You must have bare feet for estimation results. Remove your shoes and socks before proceeding. Clean, slightly moist feet will provide the best results. Position your feet for maximum contact with the metal electrodes on the platform.

•Balance your weight evenly between both feet and stand still while on the scale.

•Weigh yourself at the same time each day to see consistent trends. Your weight and other measures will naturally vary during the course of the day.

•IMPORTANT: The scale needs to be initialized after battery installation or if it is moved or bumped. At all other times, you may step directly on the scale for a reading. To initialize the scale, simply press firmly on the scale platform. The display will turn on and

automatically turn off. Your scale is now ready for use.

PRECAUTION !

To avoid injury, do not step with wet feet or on the edge of the platform.

Do Not step on scale unevenly (X)

PRECAUTION !

The scale must be started up after each battery insertion/ replacement of battery or each time it is moved or bumped.

TO TAKE A MEASUREMENT:

1.If your user information is already in the scale, then simply step on the scale to turn it on.

OR Press “SET” to turn the scale manually on and to select the user number that you paired with your personal device.

2.When the scale shows zero, step on the scale with bare feet, positioning your feet evenly on the scale platform with maximum contact with the metal electrodes.

3.Stand still while the scale measures your weight. The display counts up to your weight and will flash twice when the weight is locked. Your weight is displayed.

4.Continue to stand still on the scale. A moving zeros pattern shows while the scale estimates your body composition.

5.Your body fat % (FAT), total body water % (TBW), muscle mass (MUS), CaloriePredictor® estimate (CAL), and the difference between your current and goal weights are automatically transmitted to your personal device.

8

MEASURING USING AUTO RECOGNITION FEATURE

After you have saved your personal profile data into a memory number and weighed yourself once, the scale will automatically recognize you for future weighins. It does this based upon the weight of the user (it will detect all profiles within +/-

4.4 lbs / 2 kgs):

1.When you step the platform if there is only one user whose last weight data is close to the current one, the memory number will be selected automatically. When estimates are completed, the results appear on your personal device.

2.If two or more users are in a similar weight range (within +/- 4.4 lbs / 2 kgs), the scale will notify you to choose between, for example, P1 and P2. Press “▲” or “▼” to get to the correct number and select the user by pressing ‘SET’. If the scale cannot identify the user’s memory number, it will only display the weight. See “Problem Solving” section.

Note: You need to save your personal data in a user number before using the automatic user identification measuring method, or the function will fail.

DATA TRANSMISSION FROM SMART SCALE TO MOBILE DEVICE

When your Smart Scale has been paired up with your phone or other mobile device, your data results will be transmitted to the device via Bluetooth. An onscreen

“ ” icon indicates a successful Bluetooth® connection.

A ” ” icon appears while data is transmitted, then disappears when transmission is complete. You may review your data on your mobile device.

If the “ ” icon remains on the screen, the transmission has failed. The scale will temporarily store the pending data, and it will be transmitted after the next measurement is complete.

Note: Data will only be transmitted if attached to a specific memory number. If a personal profile has not been assigned to a memory number, the results will appear once on the scale display only and will not be transmitted or saved.
