Things To Know Before Using Your Scale
Install Batteries
- Make sure to install the four included AAA batteries before using the scale for the first time.
Get the App
- Search for the “Weight Gurus” app in your device’s app store. Install and register an account to get started tracking.
Measuring
Measuring your weight and calculating body composition is easy. Simply step on your scale with bare feet, and evenly distribute your weight. Make sure that your feet are making good contact with all four conductors. Body composition can only be displayed if you have properly set up a user profile on your scale (page 7).
Auto-On
Auto-On is the easiest way to use your scale. Simply step on the weighing surface with both feet and evenly distribute your weight. Once you complete user setup (page 7), Auto-Detection will match you to your profile automatically. If no match is made to a user profile, then the scale will only display your weight information. Body composition calculations require specific variables such as your height, gender, and activity level, so a user profile must be setup in order to display those measurements.
Auto-Detection
Once a profile has been set up, your scale will automatically match you to your correct profile by weight. The scale determines who the user is by using a range of 10 lbs and in some cases, a conflict may arise if two or more users are within 10 lbs of each other (see “Troubleshooting” for resolving an Auto- Detection conflict).
Press-Awake
Another easy way to turn on your scale is to briefly step on then off the weighing area of your scale. Press-Awake allows you to enter setup mode to create or edit a new user (see User Setup, page 7). If needed, it also allows you to select your user profile manually.
What Happens if My Scale Can’t Auto-Detect?
- Only the weight data is shown and the scale will turn off after a few seconds.
- Please manually select your user number and measure once again
- (Press-Awake, select user number, tap SET, then weigh).
Setup With Wi-Fi (Recommended)
Get the App
Search for the “Weight Gurus” app in your smartphone’s app store. Install and register an account to get started tracking.
- Connect Your Scale
Set Up the Scale
- From the Weight Gurus app menu ( ), select Wi-Fi Setup.
- Follow the setup steps within the app to finish setting up your user information and connect your scale.
Record Your First Weight Entry
- After setup, step on your scale with bare feet, evenly distribute your weight on all four conductors, and the scale is ready to record the first entry.
Remove A Wi-Fi User
- Turn on the scale.
- Press & hold SET.
- Use UP / DOWN to select the user to remove.
- Press SET.
- Use UP / DOWN to select Clr YES.
- Press SET.
Setup Without Wi-Fi
NOTE
- Setting up without Wi-Fi is not recommended.
- Only use this method if you do not wish to have your results automatically synced.
- Please see page 7 for setup instructions if you plan on using Wi-Fi to sync measurements to the cloud.
IMPORTANT: Place your scale on a hard, flat surface, and be ready with bare feet to record your first weight entry on the last step.
This scale can be customized for up to 8 users.

Make sure that your feet are making good contact with all four conductors.
- At any time in the setup process, if you have to leave or the screen shuts off due to inactivity, just start over from number one above.
Athlete Mode
- An athlete is defined as a person who is involved in intense physical activity for approximately 12 hours per week and who has a resting heart rate of approximately 60 beats or less per minute.
Sync With Your Scale
Weigh To Sync
- Once setup has been completed, simply weigh to sync measurements to the cloud. Syncing will occur to your user account as long as your scale is within range of your Wi-Fi router.
| After weighing the Wi-Fi symbol will turn on and a syncing animation will
begin. The syncing animation will continue until the Wi-Fi sync is complete.
---|---
| The data symbol indicates measurement data is waiting to be synced to your
device. Upon successfully syncing, this will go away. If measurements are not
synced, it will display the next time you weigh, indicating unsynced
measurements.
Force Sync
If for some reason your weights do not sync automatically, you can force sync them using the following steps:
- Press-Awake the scale.
- Press and hold the UP ARROW for three seconds.
- Use the arrows to select SYnC, then press SET. This will force the scale to attempt to sync all weight entries still on the scale.
Tips
Your scale will give an audible beep when it turns on, when measurements are completed, and once again when it has successfully synced to your device. If syncing cannot be completed at the time, three short beeps will indicate a failed sync. If a failure occurs, your measurements will store in the scale and attempt to sync the next time you complete weighing.
Reading Your Results
Once you have properly weighed yourself, the scale will cycle through the measurements it has calculated for you.
- BMI
- Body Fat
- Muscle
- Bone
- Water
For Best Results
Remember to place your scale on a hard, level surface. Step on the scale with bare feet, evenly distributing your weight. Make sure that your bare feet are making good contact with all four conductors. Using this scale on the carpet will not give accurate results. Wearing socks during weighing will result in incorrect body composition measurements. It is important to follow a routine. We recommend weighing daily around the same time each day. Alternatively, you can weigh weekly. When weighing weekly, we recommend weighing on the same day each week. Weighing under the same conditions will help ensure accurate results. Weight can vary due to different clothing selections, weighing at different times of day, weighing before or after meals, etc. Following a routine will help achieve accurate results.
Understand The Value Of Body Composition Results
Because everybody is different, body composition readings are not exact measurements. Instead, they are estimations based on the readings your scale takes when you weigh yourself. While these numbers are estimates, they are helpful for understanding trends and how your body is changing over time. We recommend watching these trends rather than focusing on an individual number.
Typical Results
Keep in mind that you know your body best. The following ranges of Body Fat %, Water Weight %, BMI, Muscle Mass %, and Bone Mass % are offered only as guides. The best way to understand your body composition is to watch for changes. For example, watch to see how your body fat is going up or down over time.
Body Fat %
Age | Female | Male |
---|---|---|
Low | Normal | |
20-29 | <19 | 20-28 |
30-39 | <20 | 21-29 |
40-49 | <21 | 22-30 |
50-59 | <22 | 23-31 |

Scale Troubleshooting
Low Battery
- A low battery symbol is displayed when the batteries need to be replaced. Open the battery door on the back of the scale, and remove and replace the batteries with four AAA batteries.
Overload
- Dashes are displayed when an overload occurs and the scale has too much weight (Capacity: 400lb / 180kg). Please remove the weight from the scale to protect the scale sensors.
Measuring Error
- If the scale has trouble measuring your weight, it will turn off. This is most likely due to not settling on the scale fast enough. Make sure that the scale is placed on a hard, flat surface (not carpet) and that you distribute your weight evenly while holding still.
Resolving An Auto-Detection Conflict
- An Auto-Detection conflict will occur if two or more users are within 10lbs of each other. When an Auto-Detection conflict occurs, your scale will give you a chance to select your profile number manually. Use the arrows to select your profile, tap SET, and step on the scale. The scale will now proceed measuring for the profile you have selected.
How Do I Clear A User Profile On My Scale?
- First, Press-Awake the scale on, then press and hold SET. Now, select the user to delete and press SET. Once selected, press the up arrow to change Clr to “Y.” Now press SET to clear the user. The user is now removed.
Wi-Fi Troubleshooting / Error Codes
My Device Won’t Connect To Wi-Fi / Update
To verify your device’s Wi-Fi connection, use the CHEC Mode. When the scale is on, press the UP ARROW for three seconds until you get to the menu for SYnC and CHEC. Use the arrows again to change to CHEC mode and press SET. This mode verifies whether you can connect to the internet with your scale. While performing the connection check, your scale will display 1, 2, 3, and 4.
These numbers indicate the following:
- Wi-Fi Module is okay.
- Connected to the router.
- Connected to the internet.
- Updated.
Occasionally the scale may have an error, either on the scale itself or with the Wi-Fi module. If this happens, refer to our table below for the meaning of the code and next steps.
