Nothing happens after your pre-set data is displayed.
Ensure that the display shows ‘0 0.0’ before stepping on the scale. Ensure that your
feet are correctly positioned on the electrodes. Ensure that the batteries are correctly
positioned.
•
‘Lo’ appears on the display, or the display data disappears.
Replace the batteries immediately.

After pressing a Personal Memory Key, the display shows ‘——’ and goes off.
No data is stored for that memory key. Program the personal details for that key
(see page 7 ‘Storing Personal Details’).
•
‘Error’, ‘——’ appears or the power shuts off whilst measuring.
The unit is having difficulty measuring. Ensure that the soles of your feet are clean
and correctly positioned over the electrodes. Ensure that you have selected the
correct Personal Memory Key, and that the details are correct. Ensure that ‘0 0.0’
appears on the display before stepping on the scale.
•
‘OL’ appears whilst measuring.
The applied weight is over 21st 6lbs / 136kg / 300lbs, or the body fat percentage
reading is over 75%.
•
‘-no-’ and a Personal Memory Key number appear on the display, and the
graph displays an ‘X’.
There is a significant difference between the current reading and the last reading for
that Memory Key.
Ensure that you have selected the correct Personal Memory Key. If not, then step off
the unit and the result will not be stored on the graph.
If the Personal Memory Key is correct, and you want the new reading to be stored,
then press SET whilst the display is flashing.
•
The body fat reading does not appear after the weight reading.
Ensure that you are standing upright and still on the unit. Ensure that the unit is
