Getting Started

Turning on your UA Scale

Before attempting to pair your UA Scale™ to your phone, make sure it is powered on.

With the UA Scale front facing down, pull the flap of thin film out of the battery compartment until it is completely removed.
Turn your UA Scale over. It should now be turned on.

Note: Your UA Scale will go into Sleep mode after 60 seconds of inactivity. Press or step on it firmly to wake it up. If your battery power is too low, your UA Scale will show a low battery animation after it starts. Your batteries need to be replaced.

Positioning your UA Scale

Before using your UA Scale, you’ll need to find a proper place to put it.

Place your UA Scale on a hard level surface in order to give you the most accurate readings.
Make sure your UA Scale is within range of the Wi-Fi® router that you want to use.
Be sure not to place your UA Scale on slippery surfaces.

For best results, wait several minutes after relocating UA Scale™ to measure your weight. Each time you weigh-in after moving your scale, the number may be slightly inaccurate. Weigh in a second time for more accurate results.
