- Enable Bluetooth on your smartphone or tablet.
- Open the Active Era app and sign in.

- Once paired the app and smart scales will automatically connect the next time the app is opened.
Note, if the smart scales do not successfully pair to the Active Era app please review the troubleshooting section of this instruction manual.

5 | English
Note, always remove shoes and socks prior to using the smart scales.
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:
- Open the Active Era app and sign in.
- Create a new user profile for your baby and ensure this new baby specific user profile is selected.
- Place the smart scales on a dry, solid, and flat surface.

- Once a final measurement has been obtained your weight plus your baby's weight will flash on the LCD display followed by your baby's weight being shown within 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.
Note, for best results, we recommend you use baby mode when your baby is calm.
WEIGHT ONLY MEASUREMENT
These smart scales can also be used without the Active Era app to provide just a weight measurement.
- Place the smart scales on a dry, solid, and flat surface.
- Step onto the smart scales.
- The smart scales will turn on and an analysis of your body's weight will start automatically.
- Once a final weight measurement has been obtained it will flash on the LCD display.
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.
