Do you need to weigh yourself on a scale every time before using the monitor?

You have to enter your weight (if you use the guest mode on the monitor) each time you use it, but if you already know your weight you don't have to weigh yourself.

I don't go to that extreme. Weight varies from day to day. Be sure and weigh at the same time each day (morning when you wake up).

I do, just because my numbers jump around a lot and it provides a more accurate reading.

No. You just view the LCD screen for the weight kinda like a bathroom scale

Is your scale on a level, hard surface? If you do, you may have a defective scale. I first step on the scale and quickly step off. I wait until the scale turns off, then step on again to see my current weight.

No it does not. As soon as you remove the box or whatever you're weighing the scale resets back to 0.

It takes a new measurement every time it is used. I have weighed myself before and after dinner. After it shows your current weight, it shows the previous weight.

One never weighs material on scale directly, one has to buy small wax paper or other weighing paper. As far as not staying on , it should stay on as long as you are weighing something. It will turn off once the scale isn't being used

The app synchs when you scan the code that appears on the scale after you weigh yourself

The scale does not do well with small changes in weight. If you were to trickle you would need to tap the scale to give it a couple of grains of change before it will register a new value. I am not sure if its a sensitivity issue or I was just impatient with waiting for the screen to update. If you trickle you would need to lift the measuring pan up and set it back down again after you toss a little powder.

Yes. The scale display can be set to either Metric or English Standard for weight, and the body electrochemical analysis will report ineither modes as well.

There is a hold weight function, if you set the scale on the edge of a counter you can reach under the box push the hold button and remove the box to see the weight. The scale pad also sits high enough that if you are level with the scale you can easily read the display.

Yes it does. Is it accurate though.. I have no idea but as long as you stand on it after it reads your weight for a few seconds it will show you all of that info. It is a very nice scale it just takes a few times to get the accurate weight.

I answered this incorrectly before. It seems when the scale is moved it does need to be re-calibrated so to speak. It won't be accurate at first weigh, but get on it again and it will weigh correctly.

Yes in fact I recommend always zeroing it before weighing as its always a little off after turning on.

This is a common issue with digital electronic meters and digital anything. Say you have a clock that is accurate...it keeps perfect time. If your digital clock says it is 6:05 it could actually be anywhere between 6:05:00 and 6:05:59...the clock display has only one minute resolution. Which is fine if you are using it to avoid being late for work, but probably not good enough if you are trying to time a 13 second photographic exposure. For that you need something with better resolution. 0.2 lbs (~3 oz) is the resolution of this scale. The scale can display only .2 lb increments. 10.2 lbs means that if the scale were perfect, the actual weight would be somewhere between 10.10 and 10.30 pounds. (less it would read 10.0, more it would read 10.4) In truth most digital devices are only accurate to plus or minus one resolution step....IF your test weight is really exactly 10.000 lbs, then I would say the scale is working right if read 9.8 or 10.0, or 10.2 lbs. BUT, if you are using a 10# exercise weight then I wouldn't count on it being within better than 1/2 lb. If you really care, then there is probably an office of weights and measures locally that checks supermarket scales, gas pumps, etc that could check it with a traceable standard weight. TLDR version; 10.2 is a good result. It does NOT mean your scale is 2% off. Most likely if you had a 100# test weight it would read 99.8 or 100, or 100.2. It would also be perfectly normal for you to sometimes see readings +/- .2 lbs different each time you weigh yourself....If you weighed exactly 180.100000 lbs, then 180.0 and 180.2 are just as close to being correct, and depending on if you inhale or exhale you could see one or the other. Given that peoples weight fluctuates over more than a pound during a day, this resolution is more than adequate for keeping tabs on your weight.

In order for the scale to display more than just your weight your feet must be bare and in contact with the metal strips on the top of the scale. No shoes or socks. It figures out the muscle and fat measurements by running a small electrical current through your body. Hence the requirement for the skin on the bottom of your feet to be in contact with the two shiny metal strips. It will display your weight and then you will see a sequence of zeroes on the bottom line, and then it will display the other measurements such as percentage fat, percentage muscle and bone.

I've received the same readings wherever I place this scale. As with any scale, it should be on a hard surface rather than carpet or rug since an uneven or cushioned surface can affect the reading. This particular scale gives a higher weight for the first reading after it is moved; this is part of the recalibration process. After that, it should give consistent readings. It will recalibrate when it is moved again so allow for that (weigh yourself more than once and ignore the first reading) the first time you use it in the new location.

I would say not as well as it does on a flat surface. When I weighed myself with this scale being on a thick carpet, it was not the same as when I'd had my weight taken at my physician's office. I waited an hour or so and then weighed myself with the scale on a flat, hard surface. It was then the same weight as it was in the doctor's office. I was told, then, by the nurse that it is always best to weigh yourself - on ANY scale - on a FLAT EVEN surface. I believe this to be accurate information. But I wouldn't worry about a difference of 1-2 pounds!!
