Try Not To Over Do It
We generally recommend weighing yourself no more than once a week as part of
an overarching wellness plan. Though it’s hard to stick to this pattern, it’s the best
way to prevent unnecessary concern with normal weight fluctuations, which are
unrelated to your weight-loss. Regardless of your weighing habits, it’s important that
you’re consistent.
Here are 5 guidelines for effectively monitoring your weight – weigh yourself:
To keep track of your weight, record only one number for the week.
This will give you a clear picture of any trend your weight is following.
When You’re Maintaining Weight
Fluctuations in day-to-day weight tend to be smaller when weight is stable, so a more
frequent weigh-in pattern is helpful. To maintain a stable weight:
• Weigh yourself more than once a week.
• Research shows that people who keep weight within a 2-3kg range are more
likely to maintain a healthy body weight over the long term.
Facts You Should Know
Your WW scale is a precise measuring instrument that is most accurate when
weighing a stationary object. To ensure accurate readings, always try to stand on
the same area of the scale platform and DO NOT MOVE. The minimum weight
capacity for this scale is 5kg and the maximum weight capacity is 182kg. Any
weights above maximum weight capacity will result in an “Err” message.
Electronic sensors are sensitive. Be careful not to drop or jar the scale.
Place it gently onto floor surface, and store where it will be protected from impact.
The scale is an electronic instrument and should never be submerged in water.
Clean with damp cloth.
When the scale batteries need to be replaced (display shows “LO”), remove the
screw from the battery cover on the bottom of the scale and remove the cover.
Replace the old batteries with 4 new AAA batteries. Replace the battery cover and
tighten the screw again. Remove used batteries promptly.

Dispose of the old batteries properly. Remove batteries from equipment
that is not to be used for an extended period of time. Do not attempt to
open the scale or to remove any components. Servicing should be done by
qualified technicians only. See warranty information below.
Important Information Concerning
Weight Management
Your scale is a helpful tool for monitoring weight. While not the only measure
of weight loss, scales are the most popular method used to gauge weight-loss
success. A scale measures the sum of your total body weight, which includes
bone, muscle, fat, and water.
Body weight fluctuates during the day, and from day to day,
depending on a variety of factors.
• Salt and carbohydrate intake can affect the body’s water retention.
• A large meal adds weight and can cause water retention.
• Dehydration from exercise, illness, or low fluid intake can result in weight loss.
• Muscle is also a factor. Heavy-duty resistance training can build muscle, which
can affect weight.
• The menstrual cycle can cause temporary weight gains and losses.
When You’re Losing Weight
It’s important not to put too much stock in the exact number on the scale,
because it can and will vary. This is especially true when you’re trying to lose
weight. Small weight gains and losses are common as your body adjusts to fewer
kilojoules and more exercise. Your scale is a valuable tool when used to track
weight over a period of weeks and months. Be aware that different scales often
give different results. The scale at your doctor’s office may show one weight, and
your scale at home another. So don’t get too caught up with a single number.
While a scale can be a useful tool on your wellness journey, it’s not a complete
program. Come to a WW Workshop www.ww.com/au/workshop or join online to

• Once a week, on the same
day of the week
• At the same time of day
• In the same place
• Wearing the same clothes
• Using the same scale
Before Using Scale
1. Remove all packaging materials.
2. Remove the isolator tab from the battery compartment – without opening the
battery cover at the bottom of the scale, gently pull out the isolator tab. (In case
the tab cannot be pulled out, remove the screw from the battery cover and
remove the cover. Gently pull out the isolator tab. Ensure the battery is installed
correctly. Replace the battery cover and tighten the screw again).
3. Set switch on the base of the scale to measure in pounds (lbs) or kilograms (kg).
4. Set scale on floor. Surface must be level for accurate operation and safety.
The scale should not be used on carpet.
Instructions for use
Operate the scale on a secure, even floor.
• Step on the scale and stand still. You will see “000” flashing for a few seconds
and then your weight reading will appear.
• Step off the scale and it will shut off in 10 seconds automatically. If you keep
standing on the scale, the scale will shut off in 15 seconds automatically.
• ‘Err’ will display if an error occurs, or if your weight is greater than the
maximum capacity of the scale.
• Lo' will display if the batteries need to be replaced.
IMPORTANT !
• Your WW scale is a precise measuring instrument that is most accurate when
weighing a person standing still.
• To ensure accurate readings, always try to stand on the same area of the
scale’s platform and DO NOT MOVE.
• Do not get on and off the scale repeatedly. Even a slight change in your
position will cause a different reading.
• Ensure the scale is on a flat, level surface.
• Do not keep moving the scale to a new location, as this too can cause
different readings. Try to keep it in the same place.
• It is best to measure yourself using the same scale, as readings can vary
between scales due to manufacturing tolerances.
• You will get an ‘Err’ message an error occurs.
• You will get an ‘Err’ message if your weight is greater than the maximum
capacity of the scale.
• To clean the scale, use a damp cloth without using a cleaning product.
Make sure that water does not penetrate inside the appliance.
• Do not place anything on the surface of the scale.
• This scale is designed for home use only and is not suitable for professional
purposes.
Battery Notes:
• Always purchase the correct size and grade of battery most suitable for the
intended use.
• Replace all batteries of a set at the same time.
• Do not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix alkaline and standard (carbon-zinc)
batteries. Do not use rechargeable (Ni-Cad, Ni-MH, etc.) batteries.
• Clean the battery contacts and also those of the device prior to battery
installation.
• Ensure the batteries are installed correctly with regard to polarity (+ and -).
• Remove screw to open battery cover and remove old batteries. Remove batteries
from scale that is not to be used for an extended period of time.
• “Lo” will appear on the display if battery is low and needs to be replaced. Remove
and replace batteries.
When replacing the batteries, make sure you dispose of the old batteries in
accordance with applicable regulations. They should be disposed of in a location
specifically designated for that purpose so they can be recycled safely and without
posing any risk for the environment. Do not burn or bury them.
