I bought this, and I have looked through the troubleshooting section, but I still can't get it to show readings other than weight. any suggestions?

The only thing I can tell you is you have to set the program first then weigh in with no socks on. You have to be bare foot for the other readings to work. I hope this helps.

I never wanted to know more than my weight, therefore, I did not try to set the other settings, but the instructions to do, seemed really detailed. Call the manufacture.

You have to stay on the scale until the gauge thing at the top goes all the way to the right and then it will start displaying all the additional information. If you step on, the weight is displayed and then step off, the scale doesn't have time to calculate the information. You also need to stand still.

I am not familiar with that reading. My unit has worked like a charm. I would suggest that you go to the vendor's website. Maybe someone else has experienced something similar. Good luck!

Um... I'm not sure really. It could be the battery or maybe the surface the scale is on. I have mine on a wood floor and it reads out consistent and accurate weight reedings.

Mine stays on Lbs. and will not switch to KG. Ok by me. I can't get it to display KG. Tried changing batteries and everything I could think of. Sorry

I'm not sure. make sure its on a flat surface, not carpet. try moving it to another spot. if its not totally level I found mine was off too but not by that much. also it should be set to default to measure in pounds maybe it is reading kg?

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.

Are you sure you have working batteries in it? I'd check that first.You also have to stand on it a few seconds before the numbers appear.It initially should be set by standing on it until it starts toregister the weight and, then, get off it and wait for it to displayO. You can then weigh yourself. If you move the scale at all, resetit. Also, it really needs to be on a flat hard surface. (Don't recallwhether the scale came with a tab that needed to be removed for thebatteries to work or not but, again, I'd check the batteries first.)Finally, the display is not baclit, so needs to be viewed in areasonably lighted area. Hope this helps. Are you sure you have working batteries in it?

I had that problem, too. I was told to take battery out for an hour or more, and then put it back in. It still didn't work. I returned the scale.

Mine worked fine right out of the box. In fact, I bought it to review it's performance. My review is here: http://publiclab.org/wiki/instrument-review-inexpensive-digital-balances. Sorry that yours is not working to spec.

Mine seems to give accurate readings...instruction sheet in box is fairly clear and easy to follow, even for an old timer like me.

mine works pretty good, sometimes I get measurements 1 mil off but I'm pretty sure it might be an error on my side, check if amazon can replace it.

I have the same problem. The only way to get around this that I know of, is to first step on the scale, wait for the reading. Then step off and wait for It to reset, or It says ready. Then step on again and It should be correct. For some reason It is off by 4 or 5 pounds, the first time you use It after auto shutoff. I wonder If the manufacturer knows this ?

make sure the batteries are in right then step on it it should come on make sure to download app. Weight Guru It will show you a barcode to scan with your phone.

I can't guess what is wrong. But I can tell you that I do not use it anymore because I found it to be totally unreliable. More often than not, I could not get a reading at all. I replaced it with the Omron HR210 which does a much better job.

I'm not sure mine didn't even work when I got it so I'm gonna have to look into it as well. I'll look and see if mine came with a manual.

This happened to me too. Sometimes you have to reset the float, but if that doesn't work you should send it in via warranty.

I didn't have any problem. However I sent mine back due to I didn't/don't think it gave me accurate readings.
