Why does the reading keep changing and not settle on just one number?

This inexpensive device has little or no buffering. It reflects minute changes in voltage and sort of hunts around. Try it in another car and if it acts the same way you can just read the larger numbers and still be able to determine your system voltage within a volt or two.

That's normal it is reading the alt ouput of the the vehicle when it is running. when the vehicle is not running it should be a steady voltage reading.

When your car is on the voltage is always fluctuating between 12.4 to 14.4 volts depending on what your rpm is and what accessories you have running like air conditioning etc.

It's one of 2 things. Either the unit is defective or your voltage source is unsteady. If it is an automobile that you are plugged into, the voltage regulator is probably shot or you have an unsteady load. A third possibly is that you have a poor connection to your power outlet. Now, this answer is predicated on the assumption that your conditions are static.it is normal for the reading to vary while driving the car.

The device only responds to the current voltage and gives a number. If you are driving, the vehicle voltage will vary depending on the load put on your battery, the battery condition and the alternator output.

Mine seems to be reading really high, maybe 30% over what I think it should be. I wish there was a way to adjust.

There is a dial you can adjust and turn for a different direction of stay. There is no true "dial" to set at different numbers.

Yes, if you stop counting it will keep that number at least until the next day. I haven't tried longer than that.

I think its the scale bcuz suddenly it says one thing and the next week its way higher than its back to a lower number i bought this scale months ago it didnt give me a problem until recently i even changed the battery in hopes it would function more accurately but it remains the same it gives me three different readings so im now in search of another scale

Mine changes by single numbers, so I get odd and even. (88.2, 88.3, 88.4 and so on) I'm wondering if yours is defective, that doesn't sound right!

I've had an issue with this also since the meter doesn't stop to take the reading. I place my hands on the handles and stop pedaling. the first reading is always high, and after about 30 seconds or so starts to go down. I usually go by the second or third number down. I think that's about as close as you can get -- just make sure you stop pedaling when you take the reading.

You have to hold it down for like ten seconds for a reading. Never had a problem with it sticking.

We were told that sometimes heat can make it turn off or mess up the reading. So that might be it.

Usually. I would say 9 times out of 10. It does read + or - 1 but for the most part I haven't had a problem with it. I reload ammunition and use a manual old school scale every time to check it and 9 times out of 10 it matches up.

They should all open on 000. If two do and one doesn't, it sounds like someone changed the combination. Either try all the possibilities or send it back.

It sounds like it needs to be recalibrated. Take the batteries out, then reinsert them. Put it down in the flat hard spot where you want to keep it, moving it around will cause this. If you have a small level, you could check that. Then step on it several times, waiting a few seconds in between. i have done this 4-5 times when I get different readings, but then it settles. If this does not work, check your instructions again, if you follow all the instructions and it does not work, I would contact the company. Good Luck!

You'll never know the correct reading because it gives a different one every time. I threw out the tru test and got a Taylor test kit.

Yes, but only about every 4-5 trys and is never the same reading.....don't like mine....would have returned it but I let it go past the 3o days to return. Don't even wear it to the gym anymore!

Te readings are mostly the same but sometime you can have narrow ranges like + or - 0.2

Mine is not accurate. It has been giving me a diastolic reading of 98 for 2 weeks which sent me to the doctor (costing me money and time.) At the doctor's office got two separate readings of 80. Came home and used this device and got 98 again. So it's off by 18 - which makes it worse than useless. I'm going to have to toss it even though it's practically new. Unless someone else wants it?

Hold the buttons down until you get to the desired number. The numbers will change.
