TROUBLESHOOTING
If the following problems occur... then...
“st-lb” or “kg” appears while taking a weight measurement.
The unit’s Weight Mode has been set to measure your weight in units of stone-pounds or kilograms.
Refer to the “Switching the Weight Mode” (lb, kg, or st-lb) on p.5 if you would like to change the
setting back to pounds (lb).
“Lo” appears on the display, or all data appears and
immediately disappears.
Batteries are low. Replace batteries immediately.
The display shows “ - - - - - ” and goes off when a Personal Key
is pressed.
No data (Age, Female/Male, Height, Activity Level—and BF-556 Athlete/Standard Adult) has been
stored in memory for that key. Preprogram with personal data (p.6).
The display reads “Err ” or “ - - - - - ” appears or the power
shuts off while measuring.
Be sure that you have selected the correct user mode (Age, Female/Male, Height, Activity Level—and
BF-556 Athlete/Standard Adult). Make sure socks or stockings are removed, and the soles of your feet
are clean and properly aligned with the guides on the measuring platform. Consider whether or not you
have selected the correct Personal Key and make sure that you wait for “0.0” to appear before stepping
on the platform. Step off and repeat steps on p.7.
“OL” appears while measuring.
Reading cannot be obtained if the weight capacity (300 lb/136 kg/21 st-6 lb) is exceeded.
Note: If body fat percentage is more than 75%, readings cannot be obtained from the unit.
The body fat percentage measurement does not appear after the
weight is measured.
Vibration will interfere with measurement of the fat percentage. Be sure to stand erect and still on the
measuring platform. Do not bend your knees. Be sure that shoes and socks are removed and check
foot alignment. Step off and repeat steps on p.7.
Scale underweighs.
If weight reading is significantly less than normal, carpet support feet may have been incorrectly
installed. Remove support feet and weigh on a hard, level surface. Refer to p.4 for proper installation
of support feet.
