InSTRUcTIOnS FOR USe
The Scale with Built–In Power
We have engineered this scale to deliver the ultimate in personal weight measurement.
State-of-the-art technology will assure you years of reliable service.
How To Operate
1. Check to make sure your scale is set to measure in "lb". (lb/kg switch on
back of scale should be set to "lb". If scale does not have a switch, it is automatically
set to measure in "lb".)
2. Place the scale on an even, flat surface for accurate operation and safety.
3. Quickly and firmly tap centre of scale platform with foot to activate digital
display.
4. When "00.0" or "0.0" appears in display window, step onto scale. DO NOT
STEP ONTO SCALE UNTIL "00.0"/"0.0" APPEARS IN WINDOW.
5. Stand on platform without shifting or moving until weight is displayed
(4-5 seconds).
NOTE: Digital display automatically turns off after several seconds.
Storing and Recalling Weights
1. Your scale can store and recall up to 5 weights. If your scale has one button,
weights can be stored for one user. If your scale has two buttons (User and
Save/Recall buttons), weights can be stored for multiple users.
2. Tap center of scale platform with foot and wait until "00.0" appears.
3. Stand on the platform without shifting or moving until weight is displayed.
4. For single user scale: When weight reading appears on screen, step off the
scale, press Save/Recall button and hold for about 2 seconds to save the
reading.
For multiple user scale: When weight reading appears on screen, step off the
scale, and press User button to select a user number. Then press Save/Recall
button for 2 seconds to save the reading.
5. Weight reading blinks twice, then becomes stable. A small number (1-5) appears
in the upper right hand corner of your display, indicating which of the 5 weights
is displayed. (Once you have 5 weights in memory the current weight always
saves as "1" and the oldest reading is eliminated.)
6. Weight reading is saved. Press Save/Recall button to review the last 5 weights
or let the scale shut down automatically. (Note: until you have 5 weights stored
in memory, the display will show "20lbs" or another weight for each weight for
which no data point has been entered yet. These initial test weights will be
replaced with your stored weights over the next few weighings.)
Memory Recall
Single user scale: press Save/Recall button at any time in power on mode to
review the last 5 weights.
Multiple user scale: To review the last 5 weights of the current user, press Save/
Recall button at any time in power on mode. To see weights without weighing
yourself first, press User button to select your user number and then press Save/
Recall button to review your weights. Your most recent weight is displayed as
"1", the one before that as "2" and so on. Whenever you save a new weight, the
oldest weight is eliminated from the lineup.
Helpful Hints
Your Thinner
scale is a precise measuring instrument that is most accurate when
®
weighing a stationary object. To ensure the most accurate readings always try
to stand on the same area of the scale platform and DO NOT MOVE. Should the
weight on the scale exceed the scale's capacity, you may see an error message
"ERR".
Electronic sensors are sensitive. Be careful not to drop or jar the scale. Place it
gently onto floor surface, and store where it will be protected from impact. The
scale is an electronic instrument and should never be submerged in water. Clean
with damp cloth only.
In the unlikely event that the scale battery malfunctions and needs to be replaced
(display shows "Lo"), open the battery cover on the bottom of the scale and
replace the old battery with a new one. Properly dispose of the old battery.
Do not attempt to open the scale or to remove any components. Servicing
should be done by qualified technicians only. See warranty information
below.
THInGS YOU SHOULD KnOW ABOUT
MAnAGInG YOUR WeIGHT
Diet, exercise, and determination all play a part in effective weight management.
Your scale is the tool that lets you chart your progress, and measure your success,
whether your goal is weight loss, weight gain, or maintaining your current
weight.
Because weight varies, as explained below, focus on the progression and sustained
long-term changes rather than on exact day-to-day readings. When you're dieting
and exercising, small, fluctuating weight gains and losses are common.
common causes of Weight Fluctuations (during the day,
and day- to-day)
• Water retention and weight gain from consumption of large meals
• Water retention from salt and carbohydrate intake
• Muscle buildup (muscle weighs more than fat) from strenuous
resistance training
• Weight loss caused by dehydration due to illness, low fluid intake
or strenuous exercise
• Temporary weight gains and losses from menstrual cycle
Weight Maintenance vs. Weight Loss/Gain
Get into the habit of weighing yourself no more than once a week when you're
on a weight management program. Weighing in at consistent intervals will give
you the most accurate picture of your progress, eliminating many short-term,
unrelated weight changes.
Follow These Simple Rules
• Weigh yourself once a week.
