Your scale supports unlimited number of users. It is perfect for your entire family use. It is very useful for situations like Yoga classes, weight loss clubs, etc.

Three types of users are supported:

(1) Individual scale users. Each person downloads Fit Profile app to one’s own smartphone, creates a separate individual account. The user’s measurement data syncs with the user’s own app. Each person is independent and keeps measurement data private. This is the most common practice for multiple people to use one scale. Share the scale but not the data. To make sure to keep your measurement private, you need to open your app each time when you use the scale, so your measurements will be synced to your app immediately.

(2) A scale user is under an account owner. The user does not have an independent account. This user’s measurements sync to the account owner’s app. The account owner has measurement data of all users. Some examples of this type of users are children under their parents, or a group of people under their coach. It is ideal for parents to track their children’s weights or fitness coaches to track their clients’ progresses.

To add such a user, please do following.

Tap on “Account” icon on the top, then tap on “Add user”

You need to fill in this new user’s name and personal info. Tap on “Confirm” when complete.

(3) The 3rd type is called “Friends”. Each friend has an individual account, syncs data to one’s own account. One user can “Add Friends”, then a friend request will be sent out. After the friend request is accepted, the two users become “Friends”. Between the two friends, they can view each other’s measurement history but not other’s personal information in the profile. It is great for weight loss buddies to hold each other accountable and encourage each other.

To add such a Friend, go to “Me” > “Friend” > “Add Friend”.

Input your friend’s Email then we will send an invitation to him/her. After adding a friend, you can view the measurement data of your friend.

Switch between weight units in your app: “Me” > “Settings” > “Change Unit”. 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.

Three weight unit systems are supported:

Pound (lb)

Kilogram (kg)

Stone (st)

Select “Weight Unit” under “Settings”:

Select one weight unit:

Reconnect the app to your scale by stepping on the scale. The latest weight unit configuration will be updated.

The Athlete mode is designed for people who are muscular. The algorithm for athlete mode is different from regular mode because the characteristics of the body mass for athletes are different. One person can only fit one mode.

If you are an athlete or a muscular person, you need to select the Athlete mode in your profile. To change to the “Athlete Mode”, please go to “My Account”, tap on your name on the top, and switch on the “Athlete mode”, then tap on the “Confirm” button at the bottom to confirm your change.

You can easily view your history with the app, and you can delete data if you want to. All the measurement data are yours; you have full control of your own data.

(1) Tap on the “Trends” icon (bottom center of the main screen), you will be able to access your measurement history. You can configure your charts by week, month, or by year. You can also choose to show data by AM, PM or All Day. This is a useful feature to eliminate the impact of your body weight fluctuation.

(2) Tap on the “Calendar” icon (upper right corner, a clock alike icon), or click anywhere on the chart to view details, a calendar will appear, with measurement data shown under the calendar.

Follow the steps below to compare data measured from different times:

(1) Open your Fit Profile app, tap the weight value you got last time, and go to the detail screen, tap the icon at bottom left. Date record will show.

(2) Tap on the 2 data record you’d like to compare.

(3) Once selected, tap on “Comparison.”

(4) Repeat (2) & (3), to select another set of measurement data for comparisons.

(5) You can compare more sets of measurement data, simply repeat (2) & (3) to add more data sets.

To reset your password, open the App and navigate to the main screen, then tap the "Me" icon located in the bottom right corner, select "Settings" from the menu, proceed to "Account and Security," choose the "Change Password" option, enter your new password, confirm the it again, and finally tap "reset the password" to complete the process.

Like most household body fat scales, the CS20F Smart Body Composition Scales 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 CS20F Body Composition Smart Scale 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:

Yes, absolutely!

A few things need to do to keep everyone’s data private. First, each individual needs to download Fit Profile 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 Fit Profile 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 CS20F Smart Scale but your Fit Profile 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 “Fit Profile” app: Bluetooth is on if you use an iPhone, or Location service is enabled if you use an Android phone (non-iPhone).

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

(3) Open your Fit Profile 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.

(4) Establish your baseline measurement thru Bluetooth connection.

Open your Fit Profile 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 Fit Profile app’s Bluetooth is on.

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

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

(3) Take measurement.

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

Open your Fit Profile 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.

(4) 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:

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 until the buzzer beeps twice or all numbers display，and the measurement is completed.

(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” ”EEr1””----”: “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 400lbs (180 kg).
