  1. To download the VeSync app, scan the QR code or search “VeSync” in the Apple App Store® or Google Play Store.
    Note:

    • This scale uses the VeSync app, not the VeSyncFit app.
    • For Android users, you may need to select “Allow” to use VeSync.
  2. Open the VeSync app. If you already have an account, tap Log In. To create a new account, tap Sign Up.

Creating a User
If you are a new user, you will need to enter physical information before weighing yourself for the first time so the scale can calculate your body metrics. Follow the in-app instructions to create a user.

Note:

  • Entering inaccurate information will make the scale’s measurements less accurate.
  • If you don’t identify with the available gender options, or are unsure, pick the option that you think best physically matches you. This choice is used for physical measurements, such as body fat percentages.

Using the Smart Scale

Note:

• To switch between pounds (lb), stone (st), and kilograms (kg), open the VeSync app and select the weight unit in the Device Settings menu.
• To see measurements besides weight, you must connect the scale to the VeSync app (see page 13).
• If you are pregnant, scale measurements will not be accurate.

  1. Place the scale on a hard, flat surface (not a carpet or mat). [Figure 1.1] Note: Placing on carpet may cause inaccurate measurements or tipping.Etekcity ESF18 Smart Fitness Scale Using the Smart Scale
  2. Make sure your feet are dry. Place bare feet on the scale’s conductive areas. Step onto the scale. The scale will automatically turn on and start measuring your weight.
  3. Continue standing on the scale until the digits on the display flash 2 times, showing your final measurement.[Figure 1.2] If your smart scale is connected to the VeSync app, additional results (such as BMI, body fat, etc) will show in the app.
