Scale CS20A use the Bio-electrical Impedance Analysis or Bioimpedance Analysis (BIA) Method to assess body compositions. Measuring body fat in relation to lean body mass, it is an integral part of a health and nutrition evaluations.

This non-invasive test simply involves your feet touching four electrodes on the scale. A low level, imperceptible electrical current is sent through the body. The flow of the current is affected by the amount of water in the body. The device measures how this signal is impeded through different types of tissue. Tissues that contain large amounts of fluid and electrolytes, such as blood, have high conductivity, but fat and bone slow the signal down. As BIA determines the resistance to flow of the current as it passes through the body, it provides estimates of body water from which body fat is calculated using selected algorithms.

It is why the measurements need to be done barefoot, with user’s both feet on the scale touching the metal pads.

In general, to properly use the Scale CS20A is easy and straightforward. You just do it naturally, like using a traditional digital bathroom scale. The following provides some general guidelines. To those who need to read warnings or special attentions about the scale, please check below:

WARNINGS AND SPECIAL ATTENTIONS

WARNING

Professional Bodybuilders: This product is for typical consumers, thus may not suit for you. Bodybuilders incur special body muscle and fat percentages, results from this scale may not match measurements from specialized instruments or medical equipment. We recommend you pay attention to long-term changes in the data, rather than measurement values themselves.

Pregnant Women: Your body compositions differ during your pregnancy. Other than the body weight, this scale is not designed to make accurate measurements for pregnant women.

Children: This scale is not designed for babies or toddlers under 4 years old. For children under the age of 18, not all the measurements are suitable. Children are growing faster than adults, and currently there is no widely adopted standard for categorizing measurements for children.

(1) Place the scale on a flat hard surface, such as tile or hardwood floors. Don’t place the scale on soft carpet.

(2) Make sure your gender, age and height info in the profile are correct.

(3) Choose right mode: Athlete or regular. People who are athletes or muscular, should choose Athlete mode.

(4) Calibrate the scale before measurements. Apply pressure to turn on the scale and wait “CAL” back to “0.0”. At this point, calibration is complete.

(5) Now you are ready to measure. Step on the scale barefoot, no socks or shoes. Make sure your both feet are on the electrode pads on either side. Stand still without movements during measurement. Your weight will flash twice, and “0” move back and forth. When your weight displays again, your measurement is done.

(6) In order for measurements comparable, take measurements at about same time and under similar conditions. Empty bladder before weighing. Do not measure when your body is wet.

The main components of the chemical structure of human body include fat tissues, water, protein, and inorganic tissues. A fat tissue is mainly comprised of fat and water, wherein water accounts for about 25% of total fat tissues. A muscle tissue is mainly comprised of protein and water, wherein water accounts for about 70% of total muscle tissues.

Scale CS20A measures contents of fat tissues, muscle tissues, water, bone, and other major tissues in human body. Due to various tissues containing certain proportions of water, the sum exceeds 100% when all the measured components are added up.

Yes, absolutely!

A few things need to do to keep everyone’s data private. First, each individual needs to download arboleaf app to one’s own phone and create one’s own account. Each person needs to have at least one measurement. Second, when weighing you need to open your arboleaf app on the first screen. Doing so your measurements will be directly sent to your account, therefore your results will not be saved in the scale to prevent the possibility being seen by others.

If you use a Scale CS20A but your arboleaf app is not updating your measurements, please follow the steps here:

(1) On your phone Settings, make sure:

Bluetooth is on.

On your phone’s app list,

the “arboleaf” app: Bluetooth is on if you use an iPhone, or Location service is enabled if you use an Android phone (non-iPhone).

(2) Push active button (next to the charging port). Immediately place it on a hard and flat floor. Make sure your scale display 0.

(3) Delete your arboleaf app (no impact on your data) on your phone, and re-download arboleaf app again. Login to your app, follow the prompt and answer “OK”, “Allow” or “Yes”.

(4) Open your arboleaf app on the first screen, and then turn on your scale (step on/off) the App will try to connect with the scale. Once finished, you can see “connected” on the App “Devices” column and Bluetooth icon on your scale.

(5) Establish your baseline measurement thru Bluetooth connection.

Open your arboleaf app on the “Measurements” screen.

Turn on the scale (step on/off). You should see Bluetooth icon on the scale. Wait for the scale back to 0.

Step on the scale barefoot until your measurement is done.

When your scale does not communicate with your phone, please do following:

(1) On your phone’s Settings:

Turn off Bluetooth then turn on Bluetooth again.

For iPhone users, make sure the arboleaf app’s Bluetooth is on.

For Android phone users, make sure Location Service is enabled.

(2) Push active button (next to the charging port). Immediately place it on a hard and flat floor. Make sure your scale display 0.

(3) Delete your arboleaf app and re-download the app again. Your profile and your measurements will be safe; you don’t lose your data by deleting the arboleaf app on your phone. Login to your app, and follow the prompt to answer “Yes”, “OK” or “Allow”.

(4) Take measurement.

Place your scale on a hard and flat floor. Avoid carpets and rugs.

Open your arboleaf app on the first screen.

Apply pressure to turn on scale and wait for it back to “0.0”. Your scale is connected to your phone automatically.

Step on the scale barefoot until your weight is stably displayed on the scale.

(5) If still no connection after above steps, please reboot your phone.

When your scale has a non-zero number, can’t get back to 0.0, your scale needs a power-on reset to get off this non-zero number. Please do following:

• Push active button (next to the charging port).
• Immediately place it on a hard and flat floor. Make sure your scale display 0.

There are several possible causes. Please make sure to eliminate following factors.

(1) Step on scale barefoot. Do not wear socks or shoes.

(2) Each foot needs to touch two metal pads; all four metal pads need to be touched.

(3) When weighing, do not get off the scale too quickly. Stand still until the measurement complete. First you see your weight will flash twice on your scale, then number “0” moves back and forth. When the “0” stops moving and your weight appears again, your measurements are done.

(4) Make sure the metal pads on the scale platform are clean. You can use damp cloth to clean.

(5) If you have dry feet or callus on your feet, it may affect the conductivity. You can use damp cloth to wipe your feet.

Your body weight and your body compositions do change. It is normal to see your measurements fluctuate. Even within the same day, you may see different results when measuring at different times. We suggest you measure around same time and under similar conditions (e.g., before dinner) to maintain measurements consistent and comparable.

In terms of body fat and other body compositions, different equipment may give your different readings. Better to focus on relative changes of the values measured by a same device over long term.

Here are common causes and solutions:

(1) Your scale was not placed on a flat and hard surface. Please place your scale on a flat and hard floor. Avoid carpets and rugs.

(2) The scale did not properly reset. It has a residual number. You need to perform another power-on reset. Push the active button(next to the charging port), IMMEDIATELY place the scale on a flat hard surface. Make sure the scale displays “0.0”, and then close the battery cover.

(3) The scale was not calibrated when weighing. For each measurement, after turn the scale on, you need to wait “CAL” back to “0.0” before you step to take your measurement.

(4) Getting off your scale too soon may lead to inaccurate readings. Please stay on the scale until your weight number is stable.

There are several possibilities when a scale LED display doesn’t work properly.

(1) LED no display: Check the batteries. Check if the batteries are installed properly or replace new batteries if necessary.

(2) LED displays “Lo”: “Lo” refers to Low Battery. Check if the batteries are installed properly or replace new batteries if necessary.

(3) LED displays “EEr” ”Err1””Err2”: “EEr” refers to Error. The scale sensor may be overloaded or even damaged. Don’t use the scale if your weight is over the range. This scale only works for less than 396 lbs (180 kg).
