• If you step onto the unit before 0.0 kg appears on the
display, an error message “Err” will appear.
• You can change the measurement units used for the height
and weight settings. To change the measurement unit:
1) Keep the

the display.
2) Press the
or button to select the desired measurement unit, “lb” or “kg”. This will
automatically change “cm” and “in”.
3) Press the SET button to confirm the change.
2. When the 0.0 kg appears on the display, take out
