About how long do you have to get both feet onto scale before it registers? My elderly father is slow getting both feet planted on the scale.

As long as one foot is placed on the scale, you can then take a few seconds to several seconds to step on with the other foot. At least that is who it works on my scale.

The reading is almost instantaneously voiced.If your dad uses a walker, he can position himself over the scale, then just take his hands off the walker to get a reading....no need to balances himself on the scale without support..

On mine, I can put the weight on and then tap the on/off//tare function on the left. The scale beeps and resets to zero after a slight lag. During that lag, the scale looks like it isn't responding, then it resets.

No Problems, If you adjust the small screw on the left of scale, you will get a proper weight. took me about 20 minutes to get it set right.

I cant really say how long. I can only say that I bought for both my Mom and my aunt and both takes a bit to step on and don't seem to have any issue with error messages or shutting off on them. I highly recommend these for elderly people, who need a walker or such to hel p support them until they can step on to them. for low to ground and wide base so they feel safer to step onto them. I am a former home health nurse and very impressed with these scales.

I just step on it and it reads in a regular, digital display...I first thought maybe I had to activate it with my foot first and wait for it to go to zero, like previous digital scales...but this one just needs to be stepped onto like a regular scale... hope that helps

Hit SET to go into profile mode... you select the PROFILE NUMBER (1-8) with up-down keys, Hit SET... then Male/Female using up-down keys, hit SET...then HEIGHT I think...hit SET... step onto the scale BAREFOOT and hard floor/NO RUG... the scale reads your weight... then STAY ON it... it goes through your BMI, Water Weight %, Muscle Weight %, and your BONE WEIGHT... do the same drill for any other profiles you wish to store.......(MAKE SURE YOU PULL THE BATTERY SHIELD TAB OUT!! hahaha) GOOD LUCK

It only takes a few seconds once on the scale. It seems it doesn't start calculating weight until it can detect that there is no longer a change a weight distribution as you move from floor to scale (I experimented a little for this question). I hope this helps.

Unfortunately - no. It is so accurate because it is so sensitive. You need to find a flat place to keep it permanently - although it can be reset whenever you move it. It seems like a drag, but the other wonderful aspects of this scale far outweigh this one inconvenience.

The other answers are correct however that's when the scale is completely off and you step on it. If you put some weight on it to wake it up and than step on it this time would drop to under 2 seconds.

Hello Pavan.I understand you are experiencing difficulties with your product.Perhaps there is a reason for the fluctuation.Have you placed the scale on a steady surface, free of movement and/or vibration?For further assistance, you can contact me directly via email [esty@measupro.com] or telephone [855-797-2253].Kind regards,EstySmart Weigh Scales

The scale is self-calibrating (simply step on ,off and on again). It needs to be on a level hard floor (not carpeted). It is more accurate and consistent than several previous scales that we owned (both digital and analog). If it not as described, the unit might be defective. You can talk to customers' service which is supposed to be excellent per other veviewers.

My husband uses it moe frequently than I do and it seems to wait for him to settle. We use the talking mode. Basically we tap with one foot, the voice prompts "ok, ready " then there is time to step on slowly, a wait time of a few more seconds to settle, then a voice reading of current weight, and once off she says "good-bye"... I think it would be an excellent scale for someone slowed by age.

Mine does the same...intermittently. I don't know why. I have ascertained that it is NOT BROKEN. Just stuck. I keep tapping my foot lightly in the center of the scale until it shows 3 zeros. 00.0 Then I am able to weigh myself and get a proper reading. I weigh myself twice to be certain. Good luck. It is moody but, A great scale in general.

I do not have a scale but it is heavy. I used it on my 87-year-old father. He wouldn't have been able to handle it with the weight and his inability to use his shoulders at this point. He has become frail and I'm afraid the vibration at this point would hurt him, so I no longer use it on him. Great for a younger person though who can handle it on their own.

I discovered after I had the same issue that I needed to press the scale quickly and let it "set". When you see the zero's on the display, you can then step on the scale and it will calibrate your weight. Hope this helps.

I stand on the heels of my bare feet and keep my toes pointed forward so no part of my foot is touching the ground. I'm a 250 pound man with 4E width feet and horrible balance...it just takes a little practice. Keep in mind that if you are weighing yourself at different times of the day, your weight may fluctuate just like your blood pressure and glucose levels. If your weight is fluctuating wildly, you might not be on a level surface. Hope this helps.
