1. Keep the scale in a dry and cool place
It is important to store electronic scales in a dry and cool environment to maintain their accuracy and functionality. Sunlight, humidity, chemicals, and magnetic fields can all impact the weight sensor and lead to inaccurate readings. Therefore, it is recommended to avoid direct contact with sunlight, water, wind, and dust. If you live in an area with a lot of dust, consider using a soft cloth or a cardboard box to store the scale after each use.

2. Check and replace the battery regularly
Regularly checking and replacing the batteries of electronic scales is essential to ensure their proper functioning. Typically, batteries can last for about 6 months to 1 year, depending on the number of batteries used in the scale. If you don’t plan to use the scale for an extended period, it is recommended to remove the batteries to prevent leakage and potential damage to the scale. Additionally, it is advisable to replace the batteries every 6 months to avoid using old batteries that may affect the scale’s performance.

3. Regularly clean with a soft cloth
To maintain the visual appeal and functionality of the scale, regular cleaning is necessary. Dust accumulation can not only affect the aesthetics but also damage the internal parts of the scale over time. Before cleaning, it is important to turn off the device and use a soft cloth for cleaning. Avoid using strong cleaning chemicals or water, as they may impact the weight sensor and lead to inaccurate readings.

4. Handle with care and avoid strong impacts
Electronic health scales are often made with delicate materials such as plastic or tempered glass. It is important to handle them with care and avoid dropping or subjecting them to strong impacts that can damage the internal components. When using and storing the scale, ensure it is placed in a balanced and secure position. It is also advisable to supervise children to prevent any accidental dropping or damage to the scale.

5. Avoid stacking objects on the scale
Placing objects on top of the scale for an extended period can lead to freezing and inaccurate results. It is important to avoid stacking other objects on the scale and keep it clear. Additionally, make sure not to exceed the specified load limit during use to ensure accurate measurements. The scale should be placed on a flat surface and remain stable to provide the most precise results.

6. Avoid DIY repairs, seek professional assistance
If you encounter significant measurement errors or connection problems with the smart scale app, it is recommended to take the scale to a reputable repair shop rather than attempting DIY repairs. Disassembling or repairing the scale without expertise can further damage the device and may require purchasing a new one. Consult a technician or professional for proper inspection and repair.
