types (e.g. significant upper body muscle, athletes or bodybuilders) ensure that

athlete mode is selected when creating an account.

Note, each main account can individually track the data of 24 users.

Enable Bluetooth on your smartphone or tablet.

Open the Active Era app and sign in.

Step onto the smart scales and stand still.

The smart scales will turn on and automatically pair.

You will know if the smart scales have successfully paired as your weight will

show both on the LCD display of the smart scales and in the Active Era app.

Once paired the app and smart scales will automatically connect the next time the

app is opened.

Only pair the smart scales using the Active Era app. Do not pair the smart scales

directly from your smartphone or tablet’s Bluetooth menu.

To pair the smart scales with the Active Era app:

Note, if the smart scales do not successfully pair to the Active Era app please

review the troubleshooting section of this instruction manual.

MEASUREMENTS

PAIRING

Prior to taking measurements ensure that you have downloaded the Active Era app,

created a user account, and paired the smart scales with your smartphone or tablet.

5 | English

Place the smart scales on a dry, solid, and flat surface.

Open the Active Era app and sign in.

Remove shoes and socks and step barefoot onto the smart scales.

Stand still and ensure your feet are in full contact with the metal sensor plates.

The smart scales will turn on and an analysis of your body’s composition will start

automatically.

Once the analysis has completed a final weight measurement will flash on the

LCD display of the smart scales in conjunction with the data being shown within

the Active Era app.

Note, always remove shoes and socks prior to using the smart scales.

Note, to ensure accuracy of results, it is recommended to weigh yourself at the

same time of day as measurements may vary after exercise, dieting, or dehydration.

Baby mode allows you to find out the weight of your baby by weighing yourself on

the smart scales whilst holding your baby. To use baby mode:

Open the Active Era app and sign in.

Create a new user profile for your baby and ensure this new baby specific user

profile is selected.

Place the smart scales on a dry, solid, and flat surface.

Press the menu button in the top right hand side of the screen and press Baby

Mode in the drop down menu.

Step onto the smart scales by yourself.

The smart scales will turn on and an analysis of your body’s weight will start

automatically.

BABY MODE

English | 6

Once a final weight measurement has been obtained it will flash on the LCD

display.

Immediately weigh yourself with your baby.

Once a final measurement has been obtained your weight plus your baby’s weight

will flash on the LCD display followed by your baby’s weight being shown within

the Active Era app.

Note, if using baby mode when your own user profile is selected within the Active

Era app you will be prompted to save the data to the user profile specific to your

baby or to create a new user profile for your baby.

Note, for best results, we recommend you use baby mode when your baby is calm.

These smart scales can also be used without the Active Era app to provide just a

weight measurement.

Note, to ensure accuracy of results, it is recommended to weigh yourself at the same

time of day as measurements may vary after exercise, dieting, or dehydration.

These smart scales use bioelectrical impedance to conduct an analysis of your

body’s composition. A very small and safe electrical current is passed through the

lower half of the body. The electrical current flows slower through bone and fat than

it does through muscle and water. The smart scales can measure this difference in

electrical current speed and using a multi-step mathematical formula estimate 13

individual measurements.

WEIGHT ONLY MEASUREMENT

BODY MEASUREMENTS EXPLAINED

Place the smart scales on a dry, solid, and flat surface.

Step onto the smart scales.

The smart scales will turn on and an analysis of your body’s weight will start

Please note, these smart scales have been calibrated for those individuals who have

a median body type and therefore the measurements recorded by individuals with

unique body types e.g. significant upper body muscle, athletes or bodybuilders may

not be accurate. To improve the accuracy of the measurements for individuals with

unique body types ensure that athlete mode is selected when creating an account.

Weight refers to the total weight of the body.

Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) refers to the number of calories the body requires when

at rest to function effectively. BMR is relative to gender, body mass, age, weight,

height, and physical activity level.

Within a healthy, balanced diet, a man needs approximately 2,500kcal a day to

maintain their weight and function effectively. For a woman, that figure is

approximately 2,000kcal a day.

Metabolic age refers to a measure that compares your BMR to the average BMR of

your age group. If your metabolic age is higher than your actual age, it’s a sign that

you need to improve your metabolic rate.

Use a soft, dry or dampened cloth to clean away any dust, or debris from the

exterior surface of the smart scales.

Do not wipe or clean the smart scales with chemical solvents.

The smart scales require little maintenance. Do not try to fix them by yourself.

Refer them to a qualified service personnel if assistance is required.
