Weight Management

Electronic Scale

Leading the Way in Accuracy??

Thank you for purchasing a Taylor?? Electronic Scale. All of our precision instruments for weight measurement are engineered and designed to meet the highest quality standards ???to assure you years of uncompromising accuracy and consistently dependable, convenient performance. Please read this instruction manual carefully before use. Keep these instructions handy for future reference.

General Operation and Weight Only Operation

1.There are plastic strips under the Lithium battery cover to prevent battery drain in shipping. Please remove the strips before continuing with these instructions. Also, some models have a static cling label on the lens to prevent scratching. Please remove before use.

2.Your scale has been set at the factory to read weight in pounds. You may select kilograms or stone units of measurement by moving the slide switch within the battery compartment of the scale.

3.Place scale on flat, hard surface. Carpeted or uneven floors may affect accuracy.

4.Step on the scale (disregarding the reading) and step off. This process insures the scale is set and is now ready for use. Do this whenever the scale is moved. At all other times step straight onto the scale.

5.Your Taylor?? Weight Management Scale will operate as a basic weight- reading scale. No special programming steps are required. Simply step onto the scale platform and remain still. The display will show ???0.0???, then count up to your weight. The display will flash three times when the weight is locked. Your weight is now displayed.

6.If you step off of the scale, the display will turn off automatically within 5 seconds. If you continue to stand on the scale, your weight will be displayed for 10 seconds and then the scale will turn off automatically.

Weight Tracking Operation

Your scale is equipped with Weight Tracking software that computes the difference between your current weight reading and your previous weight reading. Up to four individuals may track their weight changes by activating one of the buttons numbered 1 through 4, located below the display.

To Save Weight Readings into Memory

1.While the scale is off, press a memory button (1-4). The scale will turn on and display the selected memory number, then 0.0.

2.Step on the scale platform and remain still. Your weight will display.

3.The LCD will toggle twice between your current weight and the difference from your previous weight for three seconds each. A positive number indicates an increase in weight. A negative number indicates a decrease in weight.

4.The scale will turn off automatically.

To Recall Weight Readings from Memory

The scale will store results for up to 15 weight readings. To recall readings from memory:

1.Press and hold the desired memory button for 5 seconds. The memory number will appear on the screen.

2.Press the same memory button until the weight reading number you wish to view appears. For example, to view the 10th weight readings ago, press the memory button until ???10??? appears.

3.The scale displays the weight in that memory.

4.Press and hold the memory button for 5 seconds to turn the scale off; otherwise the scale will turn off automatically after 30 seconds.

Note: Weight changes are calculated only for the current and last weight readings. The scale will not calculate the difference between any other previous weight readings.

Battery Information

Your Taylor?? scale has lithium batteries installed. It is equipped with a low battery indicator. It will display ???Lo??? or readings will grow dim or become irregular if the batteries needs replacement. To replace the batteries:

1.Use (2) 3-volt CR2032 lithium batteries only (as installed). Always replace both batteries at the same time; do not combine old and new batteries.

2.Open the battery compartment on the bottom of the scale by pushing the tab and lifting up the cover.

3.Remove the old batteries from the compartment.

4.Place the new batteries with the ???+??? signs facing up and gently push them into place.

5.Replace the battery cover.

6.Remove the batteries if the scale will not be used for a long time.

Reaching Target Weight

Maintaining proper weight is essential to healthy living. Obesity has been linked to a higher risk of heart disease, diabetes and some forms of cancer. The Body Mass Index (BMI) is the most widely accepted measurement of weight according to health professionals. Use the chart below to determine your own BMI by matching your height in the left hand column with your weight in the center. Anyone, male or female, with a BMI of 25 to 29 is considered over weight and a body mass index of 30 is considered obese. Remember to eat right and exercise.

Body Mass Index

Trouble Shooting

In Case of Difficulty...

1.Place your feet in the same position every time you weigh yourself. Stand still during measurement.

2.Weigh yourself without clothing whenever possible. Clothes can vary in weight.

3.Move the scale to a location where it won't be bumped. If your scale is bumped while being activated or while in use, an inaccurate reading may occur.

4.For the most consistent readings, weigh yourself at the same time of day. Allow for weight fluctuations due to food or drink in your system.

5.The maximum capacity of this scale is 400 lbs / 180 kgs / 28 st 8 lbs. Should ???Err??? appear on the display during a weighing, this indicates that the maximum weighing capacity of the scale has been exceeded. Remove the weight immediately; otherwise, permanent damage may occur.
