Frequently Asked Questions - WHPS02K WESTINGHOUSE

How do I turn on the scale?

Press the ON/OFF button. The display will light up and show 0.00. If the scale does not turn on, check the batteries.

How do I switch between weight units?

Press the UNIT button repeatedly to cycle between g, kg, lb, oz, ml, and fl.oz. The selected unit will appear on the display.

What does the tare function do?

The tare function zeros the scale with a container on it. Place the empty container on the scale, press TARE, then add ingredients. The display shows only the net weight.

Why does the display show 'EEEE'?

'EEEE' indicates overload. Remove the weight immediately to avoid damaging the scale. The maximum capacity is 5 kg (11 lb).

How do I clean the scale?

Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the surface. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the scale in water. Dry thoroughly before storing.

How to replace the batteries?

Open the battery compartment on the bottom, remove old batteries, insert two new AAA batteries with correct polarity, and close the cover.

Does the scale auto-off?

Yes, the scale automatically turns off after 2 minutes of inactivity to save battery life.

How accurate is the scale?

The scale has a graduation of 1 g (0.1 oz) and an accuracy of ±1 g within the measuring range.

Can I weigh liquids?

Yes, in ml mode the scale measures water and milk volume based on density. For other liquids, use the weight mode and know the specific gravity.

What do 'Lo' and 'Err' mean?

'Lo' indicates low battery - replace the batteries. 'Err' appears if the scale is unstable or the platform is not zeroed. Ensure the scale is on a flat surface and press TARE to reset.

KEY ILLUSTRATION

SET (ON/SET): Turn on the scale and prompt to next parameter.

▲ : Advance the value by one interval each press. Continuous pressing will speed up the advance of value.
: Decrease the value by one interval each press. Continuous pressing will speed up the decrease of value.

LCD DISPLAY

(Note: LCD design may vary slightly. Image is indicative only.)

TO SET WEIGHT UNIT

1. Find the unit conversion button at the bottom of scale:
2. Press the unit conversion button when scale is powered off. The LCD will display the current weight unit. Press the button again to cycle the weight unit between metric and imperial.

After selecting the preferred unit, the scale will be automatically power-off after 20 seconds. The selected weight unit will be remain selected when the scale is turned on again.

OPTIONAL NORMAL WEIGHING MODE

AUTO STEP ON WEIGHING

    B --> C["The scale will display your weight."]
    C --> D["LCD Digits will flash, indicating weight reading has stabilized and locked in the measurement."]

OPTIONAL NORMAL WEIGHING MODE

CONSECUTIVE ADD-ON WEIGHING

After the digits stabilize, additional loadings can be added and measured. Ensure each add-on loading exceeds 2kg in order to obtain a new reading effectively.

Example: If you want to obtain the weight value of a baby or small child, you may weigh yourself first, and then weigh again whilst holding the baby/child. Subtract your first weight reading from the total weight reading whilst holding the baby/child. The difference will be the weight of the baby/child.

AUTO USER RECOGNITION

When the scale is powered off or in standby mode, step on the scale to obtain a weighing value. The LCD will lock the weight reading within a few seconds. If the scale recognizes similar weighing values to a recorded user (value difference below 32kg), the LCD will flash the weighing value once and show the user code.

The scale will automatically recognize current measurements user after flashing the user mode code. Then scale will enter into measuring additional data such as body fat, hydration, etc.

    K["If no users with similar weighing value, or no user created for the first time of use, the scale will be power off automatically after showing weighing value."] --> L["Shut down automatically"]
    L --> M["Measured results (Repeat for 3 times)"]

NOTE: After searching users with similar weighing values and flashing the weighing value, the scale can not enter into body fat measuring mode if users do not touch the metal electrodes effectively. The scale will only show users' gender and current weighing value, before automatically shutting down.

If the scale finds two or more similar weighing values, it will choose the user with closest weighing value. If the scale find two identical weighing values, it will choose the user code in front.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

1. Clean the scale with a slightly damp cloth. DO NOT immerse the scale in water or use chemical/abrasive cleaning agents.
2. All plastic parts should be cleaned immediately after contact with fats, spices, vinegar and strongly flavored/colored foods Avoid contact with acids citrus juices.
3. Always use the scale on a hard, flat surface. DO NOT use on carpet.

TROUBLESHOOTING

TROUBLESHOOTING

Troubleshoot your problem by using the chart. If the scale still does not operate correctly, it may be defective

INDICATOR POSSIBLE CAUSE POSSIBLE REMEDY
Lo	Low Battery Indication	The battery power is running low, please replace with a new battery.
Err	Over-load Indication The weighing subject on the platform exceeds the maximum capacity of scale . Please step off to avoid damage.
ErrL	Low Fat% Indication The Fat% is too low . Please lead a more nutritional diet and take good care of yourself.
Errh	High Fat% Indication The Fat% is too high . Please watch your diet and do more exercise.
C	Re-test Error exists, please re-test to get the correct result.

ABOUT FAT & BASAL METABOLISM

ABOUT FAT%

1. Fat% is an index % of fat content in human body
2. Overabundance of fat will introduce negative effects on metabolism, thereby, various illnesses may follow obesity.

WORKING PRINCIPLES

As electrical signal frequencies transmit through the human body, the impedance of fat is stronger than that of muscle or other human tissue. Through the use of biological resistance analysis, this product will pass a safe frequency of low voltage electrical current through human body. The Fat% will be reflected according to the resistance levels.

FAT/HYDRATION CONTENT FITNESS ASSESSMENT CHART

After weighing, you may use the following assessment chart for reference:

Fat%
Gender	Age	Thin	Slim	Normal	Heavy	Overweight
Male	10-17	<6%	<9%	<26%	<30%	≥ 30%
	18-39	<6%	<11%	<22%	<27%	≥ 27%

ABOUT BASAL METABOLISM

Basal metabolism(BM) is the minimum energy required for all human body organs to sustain life. It's measured when person is awake and extremely quiet, and not affected by muscle activity, environmental temperature, food and mental stress ect.

In the body tissue, muscle that accounts for about 40% of the body impacts the BM rating the most. Generally speaking, people with less fat and more muscle will have a higher BM and consume more energy. Muscle exercise is the best way to improve BM. The higher the BM, the easier to stay slim. Daily exercise will help to improve BM.
