What to do if my Beurer BG 40 Scales only show the weight and no diagnostic values?

  Jason Richardson PhDAug 2, 2025
  If your Beurer Scales are only displaying the weight and not showing any diagnostic values, it could be due to a couple of reasons. First, make sure you are standing barefoot on the scale. If that doesn't work, try lightly dampening the soles of your feet and repeat the measurement. Another possibility is that you have exceeded the maximum load-bearing capacity of 330 lb (149.7 kg/23 st:8.7 lb). Ensure that the load does not exceed this limit.

  If your Beurer Scales have an incorrect zero setting, wait until the scale switches itself off automatically. Then, correctly activate the scale and wait for “0.0 lb” to appear before repeating the measurement.

Why does my Beurer BG 40 Scales show fat percentage outside the measurable range?

  Joseph EvansAug 15, 2025
  If your Beurer Scales display a fat percentage that is outside the measurable range (less than 5% or greater than 50%), repeat the measurement barefoot. If necessary, slightly moisten the soles of your feet before stepping on the scale.
