Need help?Do you have a question about the Accuweight AW-BS001 and is the answer not in the manual?
The Accuweight AW-BS001 Digital Bathroom Scale is a precision instrument designed for accurate weight measurement in a home setting. Engineered to meet high-quality standards, this scale offers reliable and convenient performance for years of use.
The primary function of the Accuweight AW-BS001 is to measure and display body weight. It utilizes sensitive electronic parts to provide precise readings. The scale is designed to be used by individuals seeking to monitor their weight as part of a healthy lifestyle. It can display weight in three common units: pounds (lb), kilograms (kg), and stone (st lb), offering flexibility to users based on their preference. The scale also supports the calculation of Body Mass Index (BMI) by providing a chart that allows users to match their height and weight to determine if they are overweight or obese, encouraging healthy eating and exercise habits.
Battery Installation and Replacement: The scale operates on one "CR2032" lithium battery, which comes pre-installed. For new scales, battery installation is typically not required immediately. When battery replacement is needed, users can access the battery compartment on the bottom of the scale by removing a screw (or screws) and the cover. The old battery should be removed, and a new one placed with the "+" sign facing up. The battery compartment cover and screw(s) are then replaced. The scale indicates low battery by displaying "Lo" or showing dim/irregular readings. Users are advised to recycle or dispose of batteries according to local regulations and to keep them out of reach of children due to choking hazards. Batteries should not be disposed of in fire, as they may explode or leak. If the scale will not be used for an extended period, the batteries should be removed.
Unit Selection: The scale is factory-set to display weight in pounds (lb). However, users can easily switch between pounds, kilograms (kg), or stone (st lb) by pressing a dedicated button located on the bottom of the scale. One stone is equivalent to 14 pounds.
Placement for Accurate Readings: For optimal accuracy and consistency, the Accuweight AW-BS001 should be placed on a hard, level surface. Recommended surfaces include ceramic tiles, hardwood, stone, or concrete. It is crucial to avoid placing the scale on carpet, as this can lead to inaccurate and inconsistent readings.
Weighing Procedure: Before the first use, or whenever the scale has been moved, it is recommended to "set" the scale. This involves stepping onto the platform (disregarding the initial reading) and then stepping off. This process prepares the scale for accurate use. For subsequent weighings, users can step directly onto the scale. To obtain the most consistent readings, it is advised to weigh oneself at the same time each day, preferably without clothing, as clothing weight can vary. Users should stand still on the scale platform until their weight is displayed. The display will count up to the current weight. The scale automatically turns off after approximately 10 seconds of inactivity to conserve battery life.
Troubleshooting Inconsistent Readings: To ensure consistent readings, users should always place their feet in the same position on the scale platform and remain still during measurement. Weighing without clothing is recommended due to potential variations in clothing weight. Moving the scale to a location where it is less likely to be bumped is also advised, as bumping the scale while it is active or in use can result in inaccurate readings. Allowing for weight fluctuations due to food intake or during the body's natural processes is also important for understanding variations in readings.
Weight Capacity and Error Indicators: The Accuweight AW-BS001 has a maximum weight capacity of 400 lbs / 180 kgs / 28 st 8 lbs. If "0_Ld" appears on the display during a weighing, it indicates that the maximum weighing capacity has been exceeded. In such cases, the weight should be removed immediately to prevent permanent damage to the scale. The scale is designed to read weights between 11 and 400 lbs / 5 and 180 kgs / 0 st 11 lbs and 28 st 8 lbs. To prevent damage, users should not place more than the maximum capacity on the scale.
Cleaning: Exposed parts of the scale can be cleaned with a soft, slightly damp cloth. For stubborn stains, a mild soap can be used. However, it is important to avoid using detergents, excessive water, treated cloths, harsh cleaning agents, or sprays, as these can damage the scale.
General Care and Handling: The Accuweight AW-BS001 contains sensitive electronic parts, and although it is designed to be maintenance-free, it requires careful handling. Users should avoid rough treatment such as dropping, kicking, or jumping on the scale. Attempting to lubricate or open the scale casing will void the warranty. Proper care ensures the best performance and longevity of the device.
Storage: The scale should not be stored where cleaning chemicals are kept, as their vapors can affect the electronic compartment. It should also not be stored on its side. To prevent premature battery rundown, nothing should be stored on the scale when not in use, as it is an extremely sensitive weighing device. If the scale will not be used for a long period, the batteries should be removed to prevent leakage or explosion.
