must you tap the scale to start or can you just step right up on it?

Hello. You can do both to start the scale. I just step on and it works everytime.

No you do not have to tap the scales just step on them and it gives you your weight and remembers what you weigh and what you weight the time before and tells you whether you lost or gained weight.

You just step right on. Then you have to center yourself and stay still until the scale blinks 3 times, indicating it has registered the weight. Then it saves it to compare to the the next time you weigh in. Love this thing!

You just have to step on the scale, I love it! It is very accurate and remembers my previous weight. How it does I don't know, but it does. My wife and I use it everyday just to see how much we gain during the day and lose over night. (most times :-) )

ok so here it goes:First you need to set your measurements in using the three buttons on top. It will ask you 1. where to set it 1 or 2.(those are referring to the buttons on the bottom of the scale) lets suppose you choose #1. using the up or down button and then press set.2. Enter your age using the up/down buttons. and then press Set.3. select a male or female symbol using the up/down buttons and press set.4. Enter your hight and press set.and your all done.now your measurements are set on #1 button on the bottom. every time you weigh your self just press the #1 on bottom. i hope this answer your question. ok so here it goes:First you need to set your measurements in using the three buttons on top.

Tap the scale with your foot just enough so that the display lights up, then take your foot off and wait until the display goes blank. That should do it.

I think your scale is broken. When I step on mine the zeros pop up then it goes to my weight.

do you have to manually set the scale as user 1, etc every time you step on it??

No all you really need to answer is your height to set up any you are pretty much ready to go. You can provide more details when setting up free Fitbit.com profile for syncing and tracking. Would strongly recommend this product.

I keep pressing the button underneath, and I have no idea why one method of measuring weight comes up and not another. However, I can use any of them easily, so it's not a problem to me. I suggest you contact the company and perhaps the mystery of why you can only get that one will be solved. Aside from the fact that I don't control the weight indicator, I love this scale. I can easily pack it in and I weigh my food on the plate I'm going to use eating. It's really ingenious. I enjoy it.

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.

You have to first get the app for your IPhone. After you step on the scale and weight yourself, you can take a picture of the symbol and it will scan into the app on your phone. Or you can just manually add it, which I ended up doing.

On the back of the top step there is a flat button to the left side, press it and at the same time pull up gently on the top step. Always a goog idea to read the instructions !!!!! Have a great day and God be in your heart.

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.

The way it works is you open the app then step on the scale. If it turns off, just step off the back on while you have the app still open. I will tell you that I got one of these for Christmas and before January 10th, it had stopped working. I will also tell you that I'm 35 yrs old, 6ft tall and weigh 192lbs. That scale continuously told me I was obese. Even with it showing my accurate weight. It's not a very nice motivator.lol. I'm glad it died.

1st you must have a standard 100g weight. You cannot do it without it. Turn on scale, wait for 0.00 Then hold down the ON button until it reads 0. It will then flash 100.00, meaning that it wants the 100g weight. Put it on a flat stable surface, then place the weight on it and wait until it stops flashing. Done!

In the instructions given it says you have to step on the scale and step off at least two times before it's recalibrated

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!

I would just start off with a few minutes see how you do then increase the minutes, but you should be ok with it.
