QardioBase Smart Scale: Start Your Day With a Smile
Step up to a happier, healthier you. QardioBase is the wireless smart scale and body
analyzer that combines intelligent features, ease of use, and sleek design to make
weight and health management an integral part of your everyday life.
QardioBase gives you a broader view of your fitness and wellness. When used with its
companion Qardio app it allows you to measure your body mass index (BMI), %
muscle mass, % body fat, % water and % bone composition in addition to your weight.
Your data is then automatically uploaded to your Qardio user account.
In addition to automatically recognizing you and other connected users, QardioBase
also has a special pregnancy mode, which helps expecting moms track their progress
during this happy time.
Please read through these instructions carefully so you understand all functions and
safety information. We want you to be happy with your QardioBase. If you have any
questions, problems or suggestions, please contact Qardio’s Customer Service at
support.getqardio.com, or visit our website www.getqardio.com for more information.

Intended Use
QardioBase is a body analyzer that measures body weight and uses BIA (bioelectrical impedance analysis) technology to
estimate body fat percentage and body composition of an individual. It is intended for home use only.
QardioBase should not be used to diagnose or treat any medical condition.
Important Safety Warnings and Precautions
Please read the User Guide carefully before using the QardioBase wireless smart scale and keep it handy for future
reference.
QardioBase is safe to use by individuals that are 10 years old or older, however pregnant women are recommended to use
QardioBase in “Pregnancy Mode” or “W eight-only Mode”, and people fitted with an implantable medical device must only
use QardioBase in “Weight-only Mode”, which disables the body composition analysis. Do not use this product before first
activating the “Weight Mode”, if you have implanted electronic medical devices, such as pacemakers or defibrillators.
Please refer to the instructions of the manufacturer of your implanted medical device for further information.
If you are pregnant, please activate “Pregnancy Mode” from the Qardio App before using QardioBas.
This body analyzer/scale passes a small low-level electrical signal through the body. “Weight Mode” or “Pregnancy Mode”
must be selected to deactivate this function.

Using QardioBase for the first time
Download the Free Qardio App:

personal profile, then select the option to setup QardioBase. (If I am already a
user with an account, how do I get to the setup?!)
4. With the Qardio App open, step on and stand on your QardioBase to perform
the pairing of your QardioBase with your phone or tablet. When prompted, accept
the pairing request and step down (at this stage QardioBase is in setup mode and
will not perform weight measurement).
5. If required, enable the “Pregnancy mode” or “Weight-only Mode”from the
Qardio App, then step again on QardioBase to perform your first measurement.

7
Enable Smart Feedback and set your weight target, to have QardioBase display
facial expressions indicating your progression of your weight and body
composition data towards your target.

instructions on the screen of your phone or tablet. To connect QardioBase to your

If you do not know this information, you can refer to the manufacturer of
your wireless router or contact your Internet service provider for
assistance.
IMPORTANT: QardioBase is safe to use by individuals that are 10 years old
or older, however pregnant women should use QardioBase in “Pregnancy
Mode” or “Weight-only Mode”, and people fitted with an implantable medical
device should only use QardioBase in “Weight-only Mode”, which disables the
body composition analysis. Do not use this product before first activating the
“Weight Mode”, if you have implanted electronic medical devices, such as
pacemakers or defibrillators. Please refer to the instructions of the
manufacturer of your implanted medical device for further information.
1. 7. After setup is complete, you can step on QardioBase to perform a weight
measurement. By default, weight will display first, followed by % body fat. If
you have shoes or socks on, or if you have Weight-only Mode or Pregnancy

4. Stand still on the platform of the scale with bare feet. Do not worry if your
feet appear too large for the unit, as accurate measurements can still be
obtained if your toes extend outside the platform.
5. After a few seconds the measurement results will display. By default, weight
will display first, followed by % body fat. If you have shoes or socks on, or if
you have Weight-only Mode or Pregnancy Mode on, QardioBase will only
display your weight. The Qardio App will show detailed body composition
data, including weight, % body fat, % muscle mass, % water, % bone mass
and BMI.
If you have set your weight target and have Smart Feedback on, QardioBase will
display facial expressions indicating your progression of your weight and body
composition data towards your target. Please see “Activating Special Weight
Modes” for more details.
Body composition measurement requires that your QardioBase has been setup
with accurate information in your user profile in the Qardio App (height, age, sex).
You do not need to complete information in your profile to just measure weight.
To monitor progress, compare weight and body composition measurements taken
under the same conditions over a period of time.
Only step on QardioBase with dry feet and when the surface of the scale is not
wet.
