Answer: A1.) Do not use this product if you have a pacemaker, or artificial lung, or wear an ECG, or any other internal medical device.
A2.) Who should pay special attention when using this product?
Answer : A2.1) Children under 9 years old, only body weight and BMI measurement. Adolescent between 10– 17, can measure Body fat %. Adolescents under 18 years old are under rapid development stage, other body composition data measured are for reference only.
A2.2
Indicator type | Effective age |
Weight | Effective at any age |
BMI (body mass index) | ≥ 4years old |
Body fat | ≥ 10 years old |
Body water | ≥ 10 years old |
Subcutaneous fat | ≥ 10 years old |
BMR | ≥ 10 years old |
Fat free body weight | ≥ 10 years old |
Visceral fat | ≥ 18 years old |
Skeletal muscle | ≥ 18 years old |
Muscle mass | ≥ 18 years old |
Bone mass | ≥ 18 years old |
Protein | ≥ 18 years old |
Metabolic age | ≥ 18 years old |
A2.3) Not recommend pregnant woman to use this product. As pregnant woman is carrying a baby with amniotic fluid inside, only weight measurement is accurate. Other composition data like fat percentage, body water cannot accurately represent her actual figures.
A2.4) Professional bodybuilders: The target for this product is the general population. Bodybuilders incur special body muscle and fat percentages, so this product may not match measurements as made with specialized instruments or medical equipment. We recommend such users to pay attention to a long-term change in data, rather than measurement values in themselves.
A3.) About the Battery
Answer : A3.) Please use Micro USB 5V / 1A power adapter to charge the product, charging time is about 2~3 hours, please remove the charging cable after fully charged.
A4.) Can I use this smart scale without connecting to an app?
Answer: A4.1) Without the app, the scale only displays weight measurements, and you wouldn’t have access to body composition information such as body fat, body water, skeletal muscle. Using the app also means that you keep a record of your body data every time you step on the scale. With the app, data can be stored in a cloud server so that it is available to you even as you use other mobile devices.
A4.2) The app that works with this scale is called Archonfit. Download it for free from the iOS App Store or Google Play. Within the app, you can create multiple users to help you maintain records for each family member. The cloud storage makes viewing all these records very convenient.
A5.) Why does the app need my height, age, and other private information when I first sign in? Will this be kept private?
Answer: A5.1) The BIA bioelectric measuring technique requires 3 pieces of information: height, age and gender. With this data, the scale calculates your fat percentage by combining the provided data plus the body impedance measurement picked up by the scale. Without this data, you can only get basic weight measurements, and the smart scale will not be able to give you a complete analysis.
A5.2) We will keep your personal information private. The information is only used for the fat percentage algorithm application and no other purposes.
A6.) What should I do if the scale is not displaying the data, or if it displays something unusual?
Answer: A6) There are several possibilities:
A6.1) LED not displaying: Check that the scale is it out of battery, If the LED display still does not work, Plug in the USB charging cable for battery charging.
A6.2) LED displays flashing battery icon (LOW BATTERY): Plug in the USB charging cable for battery charging & the battery icon show in red color.
A6.3) LED displays ERr (ERROR): The scale sensor may have been overloaded or even damaged. Avoid exceeding measurements of 440 lbs (180 kg) when using this scale.
A7.) How do I switch between units (i.e., lb and kg) on the scale display?
Answer: A7) Switch between units in the Settings menu in your app. After choosing the unit you want, reconnect the app to the scale by stepping on the scale. The latest weight unit configuration will be updated.
B.) How to Get Reliable Measurements and Understand the Science Behind the Tech (Must Read)
B1.) How is a proper measurement obtained?
Answer: B1.1) Open the app.
B1.2) To measure, remove any shoes and socks, and make sure both feet are on the ITO conductive areas on either side. Try not to move too much during measurement.
B1.3) The scale first measures weight, then fat and other components. When obtaining measurement, scale and app responses are as follows:
B1.3a) A weight of 50.00 kg will flash as “50.00 kg” on the display 2 to 3 times. A “0” will then appear, moving left to right a few times until the final display, “50.00 kg,” appears and remains on screen for about 5 seconds before shutting off.
B1.3b) In the app, the measured weight will scrolling until measurement is complete. A sound will also indicate its completion, and all body data will appear. (Sound settings can be changed in the Settings menu.)
B1.3c ) To obtain another measurement, wait a few seconds after the current LED display disappears. If you step back onto the scale too quickly, the scale may not register.
B2. ) What can I do to get the best measurements and avoid scale errors?
Answer: B2.1) Methods to minimize weight error:
B2.1.1) Place the scale on a hard and flat surface, such as tile or wood floors. Avoid having any padding under the scale, or using the scale on carpet. The margin of error of this scale is as follows:
Measurement value | Maximum margin of error |
0 | ±0.2kg |
50kg | ±0.3kg |
X≤180kg | ±0.4kg |
B2.1.2) Before you measure, recalibrate the scale. Briefly step onto the scale so that the LED display appears. Step off before the reading stabilizes. You should see “CAL” displayed, then return to “0.” At this point, calibration is complete.
B3.) How to minimize fat percentage and water percentage error:
B3.1) This product obtains body fat percentage by the BIA (bio-impedance analysis) bioelectric measurement method. Fat percentage obtained by using BIA is influenced by the following parameters: body impedance coefficient/height/weight/age/gender. As any of these parameters vary, fat percentage will also change.
B3.2) Each user is required to enter his or her correct height/gender/age. If these data are incorrect, body fat percentage will not be accurately calculated.
B3.3) Always measure with feet bare and all shoes and socks removed.
B3.4) To ensure that you get the right body impedance coefficient, follow correct standing posture during measurement, as shown in the following figure.
B3.5) As you use the scale, place your feet so that they cover the ITO electrodes on both the left and right sides. Maintain this stance and remain still until measurement is complete. The entire process will take about 20 seconds.
B3.6) We suggest obtaining measurements at about the same time and under the same body condition every day. Your daily weight varies up to 5 lbs (0.5 to 2 kg) as you consume food and water throughout the day. Body fat percentage is calculated by fat weight divided by body weight, so body fat percentage can fluctuate within a single day (see the following figure for more info). Before consuming food and water in the morning, body fat percentage is at its highest throughout the day, as well as in the afternoon and evening. As you eat and drink, you obtain weight gain and water percentage gain, and your body fat percentage reaches its lower values throughout the day.
B3.7) We highly recommend that measurements are obtained in the early morning, before you consume food or drink. Such consistent measurements provide more reliable long-term body weight/body fat data.
C.) Body Measurement Standard Reference
C.1) What is the difference between having my weight measurement fall within the range of Normal Weight and Ideal weight ?
Answer: C1.)Normal weight range (Light green bar) indicate your weight calculated by standard BMI fall within the range of a normal person at your age and height.
The Ideal weight range (Dark green bar) represent you reach the weight that will generally give u an ideal body shape.
Some people with bigger body frame or they are athlete with heavier muscle do not need to reach ideal weight but still stay fit under the normal weight range. The definition is not absolute but a general indication.
C.2 ) What Fat % range specified in Archonfit app ?
Answer: C2.) Archon Fit Scale follow the General Fat Percentage Categories recommended by American Council of Exercise (ACE). The fat % of woman and men at different status is shown as below:
General Body Fat Percentage Categories
Classification | Women (% fat) | Men (%fat) |
Essential fat | 10-13 | 2-5 |
Athletes | 14-20 | 6-13 |
Fitness | 21-24 | 14-17 |
Average | 25-31 | 18-24 |
Obese | 32 or above | 25 or above |
