Creating a User
If you are a new user, you will need to enter physical information before weighing yourself for the first time so the scale can calculate your body metrics. Follow the in-app instructions to create a user profile.
Note:
- Entering inaccurate information will make the scale’s measurements less accurate.
- If you don’t identify with the available gender options, or are unsure, pick the
option that you think best physically matches you. This choice is used for physical measurements, such as body fat percentages. - Children under 3 years of age cannot measure body metrics other than weight.
- Minors will need a guardian’s consent to create a VeSync account.
Multiple Users
Multiple Users with Separate VeSync Accounts
Users can create or log in to their own VeSync accounts and pair the smart scale to their separate accounts. Each user’s weight data will be private and can be synced to their third-party apps.
Multiple Users with a Shared VeSync Account
Users who create or log in to a VeSync account can create multiple user profiles within their account. All users can log in to the same account (on their own smartphones) without requiring the other users to log out.
Using the Smart Scale
- Place the scale on a hard, flat surface.
- Step on the scale, then step off. Wait for the LED screen to display “ ” before using.
- Place dry, bare feet on the scale’s conductive areas. While you stand on the scale, you will see a “ ” moving across the screen, which is measuring body impedance values to calculate body composition. Please stay on the scale during this part until the screen re-displays your weight. If your scale is connected to the VeSync app, additional results (such as BMI, body fat, etc.) will be shown in the app.
Note:
- Turning on Zero-Current Mode in the VeSync app will turn off the scale’s electrical current and will only provide measurements for weight and BMI. This mode can be helpful for users who are pregnant or who have implanted medical devices, such as pacemakers.
- To measure your baby or pet, turn on Baby Mode and follow the in app instructions for weighing. Baby Mode will not measure other body metrics and will only measure weight and BMI.
