Frequently Asked Questions - BS-06 Active Era

How do I change the battery in my Active Era BS-06 scale?

Open the battery compartment on the bottom, insert 2 AAA batteries with correct polarity, and close the cover. Use fresh alkaline batteries for best performance.

Why does my scale show 'Err' or 'Lo'?

'Err' indicates an overload (weight exceeds 180 kg) or unstable surface. 'Lo' means low battery. Replace batteries if 'Lo' appears, and ensure the scale is on a hard, flat floor.

How do I switch between kg, lb, and st?

Press the unit button on the bottom or back of the scale to cycle through kg, lb, and st. The selected unit will appear on the display.

Why does my scale give inconsistent readings?

Inconsistent readings can be due to uneven floor surface, low battery, or not stepping on properly. Always place the scale on a hard floor and stand still in the center.

Can I use the scale on carpet?

No, the scale is designed for hard, flat surfaces like tile or hardwood. Carpet can cause inaccurate readings and may damage the sensors.

How do I clean the scale?

Wipe the glass platform with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse in water. Dry immediately.

What is the maximum weight limit?

The maximum capacity is 180 kg (396 lb). Exceeding this may damage the scale and cause injury.

How does the auto-on feature work?

Simply step onto the scale; it will power on automatically. After a few seconds of inactivity, it will auto-off to save battery.

Is the scale shatterproof?

The platform is made of tempered glass, which is strong but can break if dropped or struck. Handle with care.

Where can I get spare parts for my BS-06?

Contact Active Era customer support for replacement batteries or if the scale malfunctions. No user-serviceable parts are inside; do not disassemble.

BABY MODE

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:

1. Open the Active Era app and sign in.
2. Create a new user profile for your baby and ensure this new baby specific user profile is selected.
3. Place the smart scales on a dry, solid, and flat surface.
4. Press the menu button in the top right hand side of the screen and press Baby Mode in the drop down menu.
5. Step onto the smart scales by yourself.
6. The smart scales will turn on and an analysis of your body's weight will start automatically.
7. Once a final weight measurement has been obtained it will flash on the display.
8. Immediately weigh yourself with your baby.
9. Once a final measurement has been obtained your weight plus your baby's weight will flash on the display followed by your baby's weight being shown in 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.

USING WITHOUT THE ACTIVE ERA APP

These smart scales can also be used without the Active Era app.

When using without the Active Era app the below measurements and data points will be shown directly on the display.

• Weight.
  • Body balance %.
• Body fat %.
  • BMI.
• Body water %.
• Skeletal muscle %.
• Heart rate.
• Bone mass.

Note, this is only possible after initially linking the Active Era app to the smart scales when the smart scales are first purchased so that the smart scales are aware of your height. Every so often the smart scales will need to be reconnected to the Active Era app to allow this function to be used.

BODY MEASUREMENTS EXPLAINED

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 11 individual measurements.

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.

BMR

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

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.

RECALIBRATING

If the smart scales have been moved or flipped upside down they must be recalibrated to ensure accurate measurements.

To recalibrate the smart scales:
