Frequently Asked Questions - BS-05 Active Era

How to replace the batteries of the Active Era BS-05 scale?

Turn over the scale and carefully open the battery compartment cover. Remove the 3 used AAA batteries and insert 3 new batteries following the indicated polarity (+ and -). Close the cover. For first use, remember to remove the plastic protection tab.

How to pair the scale with the Active Era app?

Activate Bluetooth on your smartphone or tablet. Open the Active Era app and log in. Step barefoot onto the scale and stay still. The scale pairs automatically. The weight displays simultaneously on the LCD screen and in the app. Do not pair the scale directly from your device's Bluetooth settings.

The scale does not turn on, what to do?

Check that the batteries are correctly installed with the proper polarity. If the batteries are low, replace them with new batteries. Make sure the plastic tab was removed during first use.

How to use baby mode?

Create a baby profile in the Active Era app. Open the app, select the baby profile, then tap the sign at the top right and choose Baby Mode. Step onto the scale without the baby, wait for the measurement, then step on with the baby. The baby's weight displays in the app.

What do the error codes Lo, Err and C mean?

Lo: low batteries, replace batteries. Err: overload, step off the scale. C: measurement error, step off and step on again.

How to clean the scale?

Use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth to wipe the glass surface. Never use chemical solvents or abrasive cleaners. Avoid water entering the device.

Can I use the scale without the Active Era app?

Yes, it is possible to use the scale in weight-only measurement mode. Step barefoot onto the scale; it turns on automatically and displays your weight on the LCD screen. Body composition measurements are only available with the app.

Why doesn't the scale display body composition measurements?

Make sure you are barefoot and that your feet are in full contact with the metal sensors. Are you wearing shoes or socks? Remove them. Also check that the app is open and Bluetooth is enabled.

What is the maximum weighing capacity?

The scale can weigh up to 180 kg (400 lb or 28 st). Beyond that, the error code 'Err' appears to avoid damaging the sensors.

How to change the unit of measurement (kg, lb, st)?

Turn over the scale and look for the UNIT button underneath. Press it to switch between kilograms (kg), pounds (lb), and stones (st).

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

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.

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.

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 13 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.
