consistently dependable, convenient performance. Please read this instruction
manual carefully before use. Keep these instructions handy for future reference.

General Operation and Weight Only Operation

1. There are plastic strips under the Lithium battery cover to prevent battery
drain in shipping. Please remove the strips before continuing with these
instructions. Also, some models have a static cling label on the lens to prevent
scratching. Please remove before use.

2. Your scale has been set at the factory to read weight in pounds. You may
select kilograms or stone units of measurement by moving the slide switch
within the battery compartment of the scale.

3. Place scale on flat, hard surface. Carpeted or uneven floors may affect
accuracy.

4. Step on the scale (disregarding the reading) and step off. This process insures

the scale platform and remain still. The display will show “0.0”, then count up
to your weight. The display will flash three times when the weight is locked.
Your weight is now displayed.

seconds. If you continue to stand on the scale, your weight will be displayed

Weight Tracking Operation

Your scale is equipped with Weight Tracking software that computes the
difference between your current weight reading and your previous weight
reading. Up to four individuals may track their weight changes by activating one
of the buttons numbered 1 through 4, located below the display.

To Save Weight Readings into Memory

1. While the scale is off, press a memory button (1-4). The scale will turn on and
display the selected memory number, then 0.0.

2. Step on the scale platform and remain still. Your weight will display.

3. The LCD will toggle twice between your current weight and the difference from

your previous weight for three seconds each. A positive number indicates an
increase in weight. A negative number indicates a decrease in weight.

4. The scale will turn off automatically.

To Recall Weight Readings from Memory

The scale will store results for up to 15 weight readings. To recall readings from
memory:

1. Press and hold the desired memory button for 5 seconds. The memory
number will appear on the screen.

2. Press the same memory button until the weight reading number you wish to
view appears. For example, to view the 10th weight readings ago, press the
memory button until “10” appears.

3. The scale displays the weight in that memory.

4. Press and hold the memory button for 5 seconds to turn the scale off;

otherwise the scale will turn off automatically after 30 seconds.

Reaching Target Weight

Maintaining proper weight is essential to healthy living. Obesity has been linked
to a higher risk of heart disease, diabetes and some forms of cancer. The Body
Mass Index (BMI) is the most widely accepted measurement of weight according
to health professionals. Use the chart below to determine your own BMI by
matching your height in the left hand column with your weight in the center.
Anyone, male or female, with a BMI of 25 to 29 is considered over weight and a
body mass index of 30 is considered obese. Remember to eat right and exercise.

Trouble Shooting

In Case of Difficulty...

1. Place your feet in the same position every time you weigh yourself. Stand still

during measurement.

2. Weigh yourself without clothing whenever possible. Clothes can vary in
weight.

3. Move the scale to a location where it won't be bumped. If your scale is
bumped while being activated or while in use, an inaccurate reading may
occur.

4. For the most consistent readings, weigh yourself at the same time of day.
Allow for weight fluctuations due to food or drink in your system.

5. The maximum capacity of this scale is 400 lbs / 180 kgs / 28 st 8 lbs. Should
“Err” appear on the display during a weighing, this indicates that the
maximum weighing capacity of the scale has been exceeded. Remove the
weight immediately; otherwise, permanent damage may occur.
