How to fix low battery or no display on Omron Scales?
If you see the low battery indicator, no power, or no display on your Omron Scales, first check that the batteries are installed correctly, paying attention to the polarities. If they are correctly installed, replace all four batteries.
What to do if Omron Scales measurement does not start?
If the Omron Scales measurement does not start, it may be because the memory data is being updated. Wait one minute and then try again.
What to do if the weight value is abnormally low or high on Omron FULL BODY SENSOR BODY COMPOSITION MONITOR AND SCALE HBF-516?
If the weight value is abnormally low or high on your Omron Scales, ensure the monitor is placed on a hard and level floor for accurate readings.
What to do if the Body Composition value is abnormally low or high on Omron FULL BODY SENSOR BODY COMPOSITION MONITOR AND SCALE HBF-516?
If the Body Composition value is abnormally low or high on your Omron Scales, check the settings entered for your personal data and refer to RECOMMENDED MEASUREMENT TIMES on pages 12 and 13.
Why are measurement results slow to appear on Omron FULL BODY SENSOR BODY COMPOSITION MONITOR AND SCALE HBF-516?
If the measurement results are slow to appear on your Omron Scales, it might be because the measurement is being taken when the date is about to change. Please wait for the results to be displayed.
How to troubleshoot other conditions on Omron Scales?
If your Omron Scales are experiencing other conditions, remove the batteries, wait one minute, and then reinstall them. Refer to BATTERY INSTALLATION on page 17.
