I was able to set the age but when I try to set weight and height it only changes the measurement (ie:lbs)-what am i doing wrong?

Once you get to the screen that allows you to change the measurements, tap the screen one more time. The numerical value should then flash and you can use the one the right to raise the number and the button on the left to lower the number.

Turn the scale over. There is a pounds - kilograms switch on the bottom just under where the weight display is located. Just slide the switch to poundss

The information on the instructions say with the the unit ready for testing, press on/set. If you have the results showing in kg, press on/set. Either way it's supposed to convert to pounds.

any scale can be at sometime. Have you been stepping on it so it registers some weight, then stepping off and waiting until it zeroes? That was my original mistake...not doing this. Was about to toss it, but now it works fine and is consistent

You can't, that scale is a piece of junk, I can weigh myself and reset the scale several times and it gives me a 5lbs range, totally unreliable

I did some investigating with my scale - it doesn't convert to lbs once it's over 16 oz, BUT you can hit the "unit" button while the item is still on the scale, and it'll convert to lbs.

First set up a user profile (height gender age etc). Then when you get on the scale, STAY there for like an extra minute. First it shows ur weight, then it thinks for a few seconds and starts showing everything else :-)

First, remove the batteries and then reinsert. Put scale on a hard, flat surface. Step on the scale for just a moment, release, and then let the scale reset to 0.0. Do this a couple of times. Let the scale auto-shut off. Now try to step on and see if you get a reasonable weight reading.

Press and hold the top right button on the side of the watch until the menu appears. Use the two side buttons to scroll and the front button to select. Select "adv". This will take you in to set up gender, age, height, weight, and measurement format. On the fourth screen, select "metric" for miles and "imperial" for kilometers.

Yes, it is very easy. The left button is divided into kg/lb. Just press either the top of the button or bottom to change the scale.

If you mean Lbs to Kg..here is the answer. At the back of the display, there is a button which u need to move. It has 3 settings- Lbs, KG and Stones. Take that button to your desired position and its set. I am also using it in KGs.

Make sure you're barefoot when using the scale to record anything but weight. Have you established your baseline? The scale needs to know your age, height and sex before it can use the body fat and water measurements. Instructions come with the scale, or you can download them here: http://www.escali.com/images/support/1351175302BFBW200%20manual.pdf Steps are: 1. Use arrow buttons to select a number (the scale records base height, age & sex for up to 10 people), press middle (enter, right angle arrow) button. 2. Use arrows to select sex, press enter. 3. Use arrows to select height, press enter. 4. Use arrows to select age, press enter. The scale will return to zero and should be ready to record body fat/ water percentage. Make sure you stay standing on the scale (with bare feet) until it completes the cycle and shows weight, bodyfat and water percentages. After baseline is saved, you can use one foot on the scale to cycle to your number (1-10) and use saved Age, Height, & Sex.

Look at the manual or at the Polar website. It's very easy. You just go to "Settings" then "User" and change the gender, weight, etc...

Tina, it's really easy. Can't remember , but I think there's an option jt's change from pounds to kilograms or back on the underside, but should work right out if the box for you

The lowest age you can do is 10. Under a certain weight, it won't register the other measurements, as I put my 5 year old on it with the profile set to him being 10, but the gender/height set correctly.

I am going to do my best to help.Plug in machine the LCD should be saying Manual If that is the program you want then proceed.This is the one I use.Press enter.Next it shows level up incresease you resitance.I start out at level 1. press enter again. It next shows time. enter the time you want this session to last.when you find desired time press enter again. the next set is weight enter your weight as it is now.then press enter again.the screen is now saying press start when you do your session will start. I normally start at 15 minutes at level one.I think its best to start off slow and after a week you can increase your restranction and time when the orogram ends you will see it shows you your speed and how many calories you have exerted.I think this are appromaiate values. I hope this helps best wishes Pat james

The watch gives you the choice to set it up as miles or Kilometers. The owner's manual explains how to set it. I believe the default will be miles. You can also choose different measurements for your weight.
