Is an online manual available for this scale? Do you need sighted help to set it up out of the box?

It comes with a brief instruction manual (I don't know that one is available online), but set-up couldn't be simpler. Insert batteries, turn scale over, stand on it and it automatically works, calling your correct weight out loud as well as appearing, as usual, in an LCD display on the scale itself. Best. most accurate scale we've ever owned. (But, if you're sensitive about your weight you might want to close the door when weighing as there is no way (that I'm aware) to stop it from "Announcing" your weight loud and clear, always followed by the very interesting phrase (from a female voice with a British accent: "Ready for operation!!")

I don't know if there is an on-line manual, but you really don't need one. It is fully functional out of the box. The only adjustment you may have to make is the volume, which is a dial on the uppermost side of the scale.

Good afternoon, Donald. I called Taylor Customer Service upon receiving notification of your question needing to be answered so that I could assist you. Unfortunately, Taylor does not offer instruction manuals in an electronic format, and this scale is no exception. To assist further, I am going to detail the process in my review to assist those who cannot read the manual that comes with the product. To avoid having to scroll to find the review, here is a permalink:

After some thoughts I di not purchase that scale because I read missing instructions. The best approach is to find who is the mfg. Google him and see you can talk to the mfg.. Many times these scales are made in China and the seller would not know. The one I purchased is other type of scale that you can weigh up o 600 # has all the manuals and instructions. Do your homework with Google or Bing. Good luck

I wish I could sincerely answer your question. This device has not been the best so far. Constant calibration and off results. I would suggest investing a little bit more money on a better scale.

There is a manual that provides a little help, but you're pretty much on your own. However if you have a basic understanding of gagets the setup is fairly easy. Both units I purchased required no setup, the default settings work ok. If for some reason you want to change the setup, a little experimentation is all that is needed.

The scale is relatively easy to set up and the quick start guide is a great resource. Before you begin, be sure to install the batteries and remove the plastic tab to the batteries. Then step on the scale to turn it on and then step off. Once powered on, you'll need to set up a user profile. To do that, press and hold "SEL" on the front of the scale. Use the arrow buttons on the scale to make your selections for User Number (U#), gender, athletic mode, Height, age, and weight. When done, you're ready to begin using the scale. Hope this helps!

In my opinion I would return the scale to get your money back and spend it on another scale. This brand/model is not worth the time or money. It has to many glitches to even be useful and could detour your motivation if the reading is off to far (as was the case with mine - the 3rd one that is after returning the first 2!). Best of luck.

I have the same problem. The only way to get around this that I know of, is to first step on the scale, wait for the reading. Then step off and wait for It to reset, or It says ready. Then step on again and It should be correct. For some reason It is off by 4 or 5 pounds, the first time you use It after auto shutoff. I wonder If the manufacturer knows this ?

You need to install a continuous paper roll--it will not do what you want it to do on the label. I recommend you contact Angie at Torrey before you purchase to ensure the scale will print out what you need it to. (832) 564-2881. She is very knowledgeable on the scale.

I am unsure. I purchase a scale, had it sent to my mother in another state and none of my relatives could get it to work. We ended up returning the scale.

I checked the unit and it really doesn't say. The light scale runs from 0 to 20,000. The only directions that came with it were on the back of the package, and there wasn't a lot more than general directions. Sorry.

I never received a manual. I didn't understand the lack of one. Very spotty in accuracy. Lots of dead air time. I have heard the Garmin or whatever is better. There should be many reviews on line for various products. Try Google etc. Good luck.

I just added a scan of the instructions to Amazon. It may be hard to read, but if you flip the scale over, there is a switch to the right for adjustments. Hope this helps.

In the User Manual, there are no instructions for calibrating this particular model (ME-5KG), so I'm fairly certain calibration is not available for this scale.

Yes, the scale just works normally without Internet. It will display the weight on the screen.

Are you sure you have working batteries in it? I'd check that first.You also have to stand on it a few seconds before the numbers appear.It initially should be set by standing on it until it starts toregister the weight and, then, get off it and wait for it to displayO. You can then weigh yourself. If you move the scale at all, resetit. Also, it really needs to be on a flat hard surface. (Don't recallwhether the scale came with a tab that needed to be removed for thebatteries to work or not but, again, I'd check the batteries first.)Finally, the display is not baclit, so needs to be viewed in areasonably lighted area.

I have only just bought my scales Esther so cannot help but I suggest you write to the company you bought it from for their advice! That is what I would do:)
