I am unsure. I purchase a scale, had it sent to my mother in another state and none of my relatives could get it to work. We ended up returning the scale.

How do you get it to work in the first place? What do the buttons on the top mean?

I changed my battery and it now has gone haywire. Worked great up to this point. Can't get it to work right now.

The exact same thing happened to me and I ultimately had to junk it. It worked just fine up to the time the battery failed and I had to change it then it went off forever

I do not believe that it has an on off switch. Mine is on but in an idol state. Have had it a couple years and battery still good. I love the Speedometer!

No switch, but there is a piece of plastic covering the battery that needs to come off. I missed it the first time too, so look for it over the battery. Hope this helps.

If no activity is occurring, the scale stays on for 1 minute. Pressing the mode button if not actively weighing will reset the off timer and stay on for another minute. As long as weighing is occurring, i.e., as long as the display is changing, the unit will stay on. It only cycles off if no change in the display occurs after 1 minute.

This scale shuts down about 2 mins after no input to change the display. I do not know how you use your scale but if you are weighing several items or hundreds of items on this scale it will not auto-shut off in the middle of your operation unless the battery is depleated. This scale has a low battery warning.

It's auto on and off. You place the scale on a hard (not carpet) surface and step on it. It turns on automatically. You have to make sure that there are batteries. It takes two of those circular batteries. The battery compartment is at the back of the scale frame.

You can either call Amazon to talk about this or the company that manufactures the scale. Try to see if there is an off or reset button on the scale. The scale comes w/ 4 AAA batteries. Batteries that are provided usually do not last and I don't know the strength of the batteries that come with the scale so maybe you should try changing the battery first.

The manufacturer will install the battery backwards so it doesn't run out during shipping. So if the battery is in but the scale is not on, flip the battery over.

Your scale says hi? weird. There is several reasons a scale does that. One being too much weight, two someone programed it that way (my bro did that to me before), or three the batteries are dying.

My experience is, once there is activity with the scale, it does not turn off. If you leave it dormant, even with a weight on, it will shutoff after a while.

I have been using my scale plugged in. So I tried with a 9 volt battery and it worked fine. Try a new battery. I tried it with the plug attached and not. Worked either way for me. Good luck!

Under the scale you should see a plastic pull tab, pull it out. It separates the battery from the battery terminal, thus keeping your scale from turning on and arriving at your home with a dead battery.

I usually step off the scale to give it time to reset. Then I step on again. If that do not work try taking out the batteries.

There is no on or off...remove the plastic tab to establish contact with the battery, follow the instructions to set up. If it doesn't come on, then try a new battery. If it's dead still, then return to Amazon.

I do not think there is an on/off switch. You just have to remove the plastic from the battery compartment, so the battery can engage. Mine just comes on automatically when it gets dark and the battery is charged. I love mine!

Behind the scale it has a unit button , press it once that converts to lbs , also when you change batteries you will have to set it again.

under the scale is a black tab. open it and pop the battery one. you probably need to stick a thin screwdriver under the battery to help pop it out
