Scale Power and Connectivity Issues

The Renpho Bluetooth Body Fat Scale is a high-precision measuring device designed to track various body composition metrics. It connects to a smartphone app (Renpho App) via Bluetooth, allowing users to monitor their health data over time.

Function Description:

The primary function of the Renpho Bluetooth Body Fat Scale is to measure body weight and, when used with bare and dry feet on its conductive area, calculate various body composition data. This data is then synchronized with the Renpho App, which provides a comprehensive overview of the user's health metrics. The scale is designed for personal use and should not be used for diagnosing or treating medical conditions. Users are advised to consult a doctor before starting any diet or exercise program. The body fat function should not be used by pregnant individuals, those with Osteoporosis, or individuals with pacemakers or other internal medical devices. All body composition data provided by the scale is for reference only.

Maintenance Features:

Safety Precautions:
- Keep the scale dry and avoid use on wet/slippery surfaces.

- The scale is not waterproof; do not immerse it in water.
- Clean the surface with a damp cloth or glass cleaner; do not use soap or other chemicals.
- Check the device for damage before each use.
Troubleshooting:
- Scale Malfunction: First check battery power and replace/charge if necessary.
- Inaccurate Weight Measurement:
  1. Place the scale on a hard, flat surface (avoid soft floors like carpet).
  2. Step on with one foot until the LED lights up, then step off and wait for "CAL" and "0.00" to display for calibration.
  3. Keep weight centered on the scale during measurement.
  4. Wait for the scale to auto-shutoff (approx. 10 seconds) for accurate results in the app.
  5. If still inaccurate, it might be an internal error.
- Resetting the Scale:
  - Battery Models: Remove one battery for 5 seconds, then reinsert it.
  - Rechargeable Models: Press the [RESET] button on the back for 5 seconds.
- Unbalanced Surface: Ensure the scale is on a flat surface. Check legs/pads for obstructions.

- Bluetooth Connection Issues:
  1. Reset the scale (as described above).
  2. Reset Bluetooth connection: Ensure Bluetooth and GPS (Android only) are enabled. Open Renpho app, go to "Measurements" > "+" > "Device Management," find the scale model (starts with "ES"), slide left to forget, then tap "+" to enter pairing mode. Step on the scale to wake it up.
