Battery Operations
Your digital scale comes with six AAA batteries. To install, open the
snap-closed door on the bottom of the scale. Note: All the batteries should
be oriented in the same direction, with the positive (+) end towards the
battery door.
Low main batteries: The batteries should last for many months. Eventually,
you may see the message“Lo” in the display. This means the batteries need
replacing. Replace with six AAA alkaline batteries.
Low clock battery: There is another battery that is used by the internal clock.
If you see the message “Lo+USB” in the display, this means the clock battery
needs replacing. On the bottom of the scale is another door, larger than the
battery door and fastened with two screws. Unscrew the screws using a #1
Phillips screwdriver. Inside you will see a circuit board with a coin-style
battery the size of a nickel coin. Replace this battery with a CR2032 lithium
battery.

To use your personal online health management account and your USB
storage device, rst read the Getting Started guide. Make sure your personal
data is “synched” with your LifeSpan Fitness Club account.
• The scale should be used on a hard surface, not carpet.
Insert your USB drive into the port on the front of the scale. Press the Set key.
The USB symbol will ash a few times to show that it is transferring your
personal data to the scale.
Your user data will be displayed one at a time, each one for about two
seconds. When your age, previous weight, and height have been displayed,
the display will be ready to take your weight and body fat readings. Wait for
the weight display to read a stable 0.0 before stepping on the scale.
• If any of your personal information is missing or obviously in error (such as
zero), zeros will be displayed along with the measurement label.
• You must have bare feet for the body fat measurement. You must also be
using a USB drive with personal information synched, since the body fat
measurement requires your height and age.
Step on the scale and stand still. After a few seconds, your weight is displayed.
After about ten seconds, your body fat percentage is displayed.
• If the scale cannot acquire a body fat measurement (such as if your feet
are not bare), the display will blink 00 and % bf.
These readings are recorded to the USB drive, with the ashing USB symbol
showing this is happening. Your body weight and body fat percentage will
also be displayed a second time.
The display now shuts o.
• If there is no USB drive, the USB icon and % bf icon will blink on and off.

Weight Management
Maintaining proper weight is essential to healthy living. Your LifeSpan
Interactive Digital Scale and personal online health management account are
the best tools to monitor and manage your weight.
Body weight uctuates from day to day and throughout the day, depending
on factors such as:
• Salt and carbohydrate intake can affect your body’s water retention.
• A large meal adds weight and can cause water retention.
• Dehydration from exercise, illness, or low uid intake can result in
weight loss.
• Strength and resistance training can build muscle, which can
affect weight.
• The menstrual cycle can cause temporary weight gains and losses.
Your online account visually show your results, so you can track your progress,
compare to your goals, and re-establish your goals when appropriate.
In addition to online tracking, the LifeSpan Fitness Club offers a
comprehensive yet simple to use set of tools to help you achieve your goals
and maintain your ideal weight.
