Read on to know how to calibrate your RENPHO scale. We will walk you through the process of calibrating your device to maintain reliable data for your health and fitness journey.

What is Scale Calibration

Before we dive into the calibration process, let's understand what calibration is and when it is necessary for your digital bathroom scales. 

Calibration in general helps ensure that the internal settings of  your scales are working correctly to provide accurate measurements. Calibrating your RENPHO scale not only helps maintain its accuracy but also enhances your overall experience.

Calibration, coupled with proper usage, is vital to maintaining the reliability of your device and aiding you in effectively hitting your goals.    

When to Calibrate Your Scales

We recommend that you calibrate your scale if: 

     • Your body scale has been turned upside down

     • It is moved to a different location. This is advisable to account for any environmental changes.

     • You suspect that you are getting inaccurate measurements 

Preparing for Calibration

Before initiating the calibration process, remove obstructions or items on the scale that could interfere with the calibration. 

Step-by-Step Guide 

Step 1: Start by placing the scale on a clean, level, and stable location. 

Placing your scale on a flat surface as opposed to uneven flooring helps prevent any inconsistencies during the calibration process and subsequent measurements.

Step 2: Place one foot on the scale to power on the device. 

Turn on the RENPHO scale and allow it a few moments to stabilize for optimized calibration process. Wait for the LED screen to light up. 

Step 3: Step off the scale once it is on.  

This signals the start of the calibration process.

Step 4: Wait for the display to read “CRL” or “0.00.” If not, repeat steps 2-3. 

The display “0.00” indicates that the calibration process is finished. You can start using the device for your usual measurements.

Step 5: Weigh yourself properly. 

During the measurement, keep your weight centered directly above and over the scale as much as possible.

Step 6: View your results on the RENPHO Health App.

Wait for the scale to shut off automatically (about 10 seconds). Then, view the results on your RENPHO Health App account. 

Keep Your User Manual

We highly recommend that you familiarize yourself with the user manual provided by RENPHO, as it contains specific instructions and guidance for your particular model. 

After calibrating your RENPHO scale, if you still encounter inaccurate results, it might be because of internal error. You may resolve this by resetting your scale. To do this, take one battery out for 5 seconds and put it back in. 

Calibrate your device, as needed, and enjoy the benefits of precise measurements on your path to a healthier lifestyle!

Weight Fluctuation 

It is important to remember that our  weight fluctuates throughout the day. Your weight may fluctuate between 2 and 4 pounds daily as the water inside your body shifts. Additionally, your food and water intake could cause some weight fluctuation.  

Maintaining Your Scale

To ensure your scale continues to operate at an optimum level, it's essential to maintain your RENPHO scale properly. Here are a few tips to help you keep your scale in optimal condition:

Regular cleaning: Clean your scale regularly using a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that may damage the surface of the scale.

Handle with care: When moving or transporting your scale, handle it with care to prevent any impact or shock that could affect the operation of your smart scale. 

Check for wear or damage: Routinely inspect your scale for any signs of wear, damage, or loose components.
