Weighing without the App

After inserting the batteries, your scale is ready to use. Without downloading Arboleaf app, this scale can be used stand alone as a regular digital weight scale. After you register with Arboleaf app and the scale connects to a Wi-Fi network, you can weigh anytime without the app. Your data will be uploaded to your account through the Wi-Fi connection. Login to the app when you need to check your measurement data.

1. Place the scale on a hard, flat surface.
   
2. Step onto the scale to turn on the scale, then step off to let the scale calibrate. Wait until you see the scale displays "00", then step on the scale again to measure your weight.
   
3. Keep standing on the scale until the digits on the screen flash two (2) times with your final measurement.
   

NOTE: The default weight unit for CS20A is pounds(lb). To change the weight unit, you must download the Arboleaf app and select the desired weight unit in your app's Settings menu.

Setup Arboleaf Mobile App

After setting up your scale, you need to setup your Arboleaf mobile app.

With the Arboleaf mobile app, you will have full access to all the measurements from the CS20A scale. All the measurements will display on your mobile app. The mobile app provides easy tracking of your weight history and many more features.

The CS20A scale supports both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi wireless connection. You can use the scale with Bluetooth only, without setting up Wi-Fi connections. With or without the Wi-Fi connections you will have all of your measurements and all of your history. It is highly recommended that you setup the Wi-Fi connections if a secure network is available. Scale with Wi-Fi connections offers additional features and conveniences.

Setup App with Wi-Fi Connections

The Arboleaf CS20A scale supports both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi wireless connections. You don't have to use the Wi-Fi connections because the Bluetooth alone will have all of your measurements and all of your history. However, It is highly recommended that you setup Wi-Fi connections if a secure network is available. With Wi-Fi connections, your scale offers additional features and conveniences.

• Wi-Fi connections' range is longer than Bluetooth connections.
• With Wi-Fi connections you will be able to receive scale measurement data without running the app. You can use the scale hands-free.
• Wi-Fi wireless connections are more robust. Typically, you don't need re-connections once the Wi-Fi is configured.

During the settings, you will need to have Bluetooth connections first. Then we will configure your scale's Wi-Fi connections. By the end of this section you will have your measurement done using Wi-Fi connections.

NOTE: With the Wi-Fi connections, your measurement data will be uploaded from scale to your home's wireless router through Wi-Fi connections. Then your data will be sent to the Arboleaf's secure data server over the internet (the cloud). Your mobile app running on your smartphone will download your measurement data from the data server. It differs from the Bluetooth connections, where your scale sends data directly to your phone.

1. To configure your scale's Wi-Fi connections and to establish your Profile to your scale and the server, first we need to use the Bluetooth connections. Please follow Setup App with Bluetooth Connections, Steps 1 to 10.
2. With the above steps, you made an initial measurement using the Bluetooth connection. Now on the "Select Wi-Fi" screen, tap the "Wi-Fi Configurations" button.
   
   NOTE: Arboleaf only support 2.4G network. On your phone Settings, connect your Wi-Fi to a 2.4G network. You may change back after your setup is done.
3. Select a Wi-Fi network. By default, your phone's currently connected Wi-Fi network is selected. You can change to another Wi-Fi network. Type in the network password, and then tap the "Next" button.
   
4. Then you will see the Wi-Fi "Connect" screen. Don't close your app during the connection period. Once done, the Wi-Fi configurations is complete.
   

5. To test your Wi-Fi configurations, close your Arboleaf app, and use the scale to make a new measurement (see Weighing without the App). When finishes, re open your Arboleaf app again, and your new data should be already recorded in your app.
   By now your app setup is complete with both Bluetooth connections and Wi-Fi connections.
6. If Wi-Fi connections were not setup initially, a user can setup it later: On the "Measurements" screen, tap the "+" sign at the top right corner, then select "Device Management", tap "CS20A" image to enter the "Select Wi-Fi" screen. It is the above Step 2. Then follow instructions to complete Steps 3 5 to setup Wi-Fi Connections. The user can also change Wi-Fi password as foregoing.

Measurements

In this section, measurements refer to full measurements with a user's Arboleaf app already setup.

Measurements with Bluetooth Connections

When measuring with your Arboleaf app open, the Bluetooth connection will be used. Your measurement data will be sent to your app through the Bluetooth.

1. Make sure your phone's Bluetooth is on. Login to your Arboleaf app.

3. On your scale, the Bluetooth icon will appear. On your app's "Measurements" screen the circles will spin until stabilized to display the measurements.
   

4. If you didn't login to your Arboleaf app (or your Bluetooth is disabled, or your phone is too far away from your scale), the Bluetooth connection will not be established. The measurements will use the Wi-Fi connections. If your Wi-Fi connections haven't setup yet, the measurement data will be stored in the scale temporally. The data will be uploaded to your app next time a Bluetooth connection is established.
   

Measurements with Wi-Fi Connections

You don't need to open your Arboleaf app before you use the Wi-Fi connections. You may disable your phone's Bluetooth. Your measurement data will be uploaded to the cloud server first then to your app.

1. Don't open your Arboleaf app.
2. Step onto the scale to turn on the scale, then step off to let the scale calibrate. Wait until you see the scale displays "00", then step on the scale again to measure.
3. On your scale, the Wi-Fi icon will appear. When completed, the scale will display your measurements: weight, body fat, body water, skeletal muscle, bone, BMI, BMR one by one, and then "OPEN APP". It means your measurement data is already sent to the cloud server. You now can open your app to read your measurements. You can open the app now, or you can choose later time to read your data.
   

4. The server recognizes you based on your existing measurements. So, when you open your app, your measurements will be loaded to your account automatically. The server will also list those unknown data, not recognized as yours, and ask you to assign to yourself if these are yours. You need to select the data and tap either "Assign" button or "Delete" button.
   

Switches between Bluetooth and Wi-Fi Connections

Switches between Bluetooth connections and Wi-Fi connections are automatic, no user interventions are required.

Of course, if you haven't setup your Wi-Fi connections yet, you will always use the Bluetooth connections. There are no switches.

If you already setup your Wi-Fi connections, your Bluetooth connections are also setup. If you open your app before you make a scale measurement, the Bluetooth connections will be used. Otherwise, if you didn't open your Arboleaf app (or your phone's Bluetooth is disabled, or your phone is too far away from your scale), then you will use the Wi-Fi connections. Switches between the two are automatic. Users don't need to worry about which connections are used. Either connection method, you will be able to see your data from your app.
