Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the scale, slide open the battery compartment on the underside and insert three AAA batteries, ensuring the polarities match the internal markings. Place the scales on a flat, stable, and hard surface for the most accurate readings; using them on carpet or soft fabrics can result in inconsistent data. To clean, use a damp cloth and mild detergent to wipe the tempered glass surface. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals that could scratch the finish or damage the touch-sensitive controls. When not in use, store the scale horizontally to protect the internal sensors, and remove the batteries if you plan to store the unit for an extended period.
