Device description

Display

Selecting the unit of weight

When supplied to the customer, the baby scale is set to weigh in kilograms "kg". You can find the unit adjuster on the rear of the baby scale. You can use this to also change the unit of weight to pounds "lb" or ounces "oz".

Initial use

Inserting the batteries

Before using the baby scale, you must first insert three 15 V AAA batteries into the battery compartment of the baby scale.
Proceed as follows:

1. Open the battery compartment cover on the bottom of the baby scale.
   
2. Insert three 15 V AAA batteries into the battery compartment. Make sure that the batteries are inserted the right way round (+ / –), as shown in the battery compartment.
   
3. Close the battery compartment cover until you hear and feel it click into place.

Note
The batteries must be replaced when " " appears on the display.

Initial use with the app

You can transfer the measured weight values to your smartphone via Bluetooth with the "beurer BabyCare" app.
Keep the smartphone close to the scale in order to maintain an active Bluetooth connection during initial use.

To connect the baby scale to the smartphone, proceed as follows:

1. Activate Bluetooth in your smartphone's settings.
   Note: Bluetooth devices, such as this scale, may not be visible in the general settings of the Bluetooth device list.
2. Download the free "beurer BabyCare" app from the Apple App Store (iOS) or from Google Play (Android).

3. Start the "beurer BabyCare" app and follow the instructions.
4. Enter user data.
   The following settings must be set or entered in the "beurer BabyCare" App:

5. Insert the batteries and place the baby scale on a solid surface.
6. For 120 seconds the baby scale shows "app" in the display and can be connected to the "beurer BabyCare" app.
   Note: If you have not connected the baby scale with the app during initial use, "app" flashes for 10 seconds when the scale is switched on again The indicator is no longer displayed once synchronisation with the app is successful.
7. The baby scale is successfully connected to the app once the Bluetooth symbol appears in the display.
8. Now place the baby on the weighing surface. Do this very carefully; do not let the baby fall and take particular care with the baby's head.
9. This baby scale has a 'HOLD' function (AUTO HOLD and MECHANICAL HOLD). The AUTO HOLD function (which is activated as standard) establishes the baby's weight on the display as soon as they are still enough to achieve an exact measured value. If the baby is moving around vigorously, their weight cannot be recorded. Therefore, try to calm the wriggling baby to achieve a rapid measurement, but do not touch the baby, as this will affect the weight measurement. As soon as the baby's weight is established on the display, the word 'HOLD' stops flashing and the weight is displayed for 120 seconds.
   Note: If the weight cannot be determined automatically after 8 seconds, the baby scale averages the weight over 4 seconds (flashing display of the weight on the baby scale display).
10. The weight is saved on the baby scale and it switches off automatically after 120 seconds. To switch off the scale manually, press and hold the ON/OFF/TARE button for 3 seconds.
11. If the baby is wriggling about too vigorously, you can select the MECHANICAL HOLD function by pressing the HOLD button. After 5 seconds, the word 'HOLD' stops flashing and the averaged weight is displayed for 120 seconds.
12. To transfer the measured weight to the app, open the app and press the Bluetooth button after the measurement has successfully been taken.
13. The baby scale automatically switches off once the transfer has been completed successfully.
