The scale says it turns on when you step on it, but mine does not do that. Am I not ding something correctly?

I rarely just step on it. If it happens to be down and the screen is not on I will tap it with my foot on top of the glass wait for it to settle to zero then stand on it for my measurement.if that dont work isvthere fresh batteries in it? New in the scale package dont mean fresh

I just received this scale today, threw a brand new Energizer 9-volt into it, and was able to set it up to weigh in lbs rather than kgs. Getting it to weigh me isn't so easy; I step on it... it doesn't turn on. I tap it first with my foot... stilll nothing. If I reach down and push the mode button, THEN it works. Bending over to turn on a scale isn't very convenient; what a piece of junk!

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 just push the on button and it comes on. Maybe yours is defective. I would contact seller.

The scale calibrates when it turns on. Just turn it off, and then turn it back on again and you should be set. Also, contact Ozeri if you still need the instruction manual.

There are different timing slots...keep hitting the on button & it moves up the scale to longer on times. You will see a small green light move up the timing scale to different levels.

You have to recalibrated it. That should work. And try to put it in one place when you weigh yourself dont keep moving it to different places. I always take my scale in the bathroom and no where else, and I haven't had any problems since I purchased it. I had it for about 3 months Are you being careful how you handle it ? If not that could be the problem. And remember it has to be on a flat surface. You cannot weigh yourself on carpet or any surface that's not flat.

try taking the batteries out for a minute. replace the batteries set the scale on a hard surface, put your foot on it and press down 00 should appear. take your foot off and it should be ready to go.

No, it turns itself on when you step on it and off when you step back off. Hopefully after a good number is displayed!

No I do not believe so. When you step on it the weight doesnt change (and I purposely moved the scale to see if I stood on it different or if I moved it around with my feet-) seemed to stay the same with no change.

I often leave my scale powered on until it turns itself off, and the weight (even measuring in grams) remains zero. A couple of ideas: 1. does your unit turn itself off after a minute or so? If not, that's probably a sign it is bad and should be replaced (for free IMO), 2. have you reset the tare by pressing the power button (not enough to turn it off) and seen the weight continue to increase? Again, just my opinion, but it sounds like MIRA should replace your unit for free, though I'm unsure how long you've had it, so that will factor in. Good luck.

Yes. I would zero it out before I use it (step on it until it lights up, then step back off before it can register your weight). Then step back on, and it should be accurate!

When I get on the scale, it stabilizes to the correct weight, flashes three times, and then stays on for 5 seconds as I am standing on it, and then turns off.

Did you test it using a new pair of fresh batteries? Maybe the installed ones are not good (even if they came as new with the scale). Hope this helps

Remove the batteries and put them back in, you have to first tap the plate to start and initialize the scale, when it shows 0.00 then you can step on it

Make sure the side with writing faces toward the floor when installed. Also turn the battery in a circle until the + and - signs are oriented in the right direction. I had to rotate a few times until it was right because the scale itself not marked

No, it will turn on when you step on it and then eventually turn itself off when you step off. However if you plan to use the feature that tracks your weight and BMI, you have to push a button before you step on it.

My experience is, once there is activity with the scale, it does not turn off. If you leave it dormant, even with a weight on, it will shutoff after a while.

It sounds like the scale needs to calibrate itself. when you first got it, did you step onto the scale to activate it and then off to get it to weigh 0 pounds? If not, you could try that.
