FAQ
FAQ – Fit Profile MOBILE APP
Setup
Do I need to download mobile app to use my scale?
Yes, if you want to measure full body compositions and take advantage of the smart functions.
Without the Fit Profile mobile App, you can only measure body weight just like a regular digital weight scale.
You need the mobile app to access your body composition information, such as body fat, body water, muscle mass, etc., to track your weight and body fat and other body composition data. In other words, the scale and the mobile app together make a complete smart body composition scale.
For Fit Plus Scale users, without your mobile app you will read your weight, but you will not see your BMI.

I don’t receive my verification email, what should I do?
When you change your password, we will send you an email of a verification code. Please follow the instructions. If you don’t receive this verification code email:
Check if your email address is correct.
Check your email Spam or Junk Mail folder.
You can ask the App to send you another verification email.
If you still have issues, please contact customer support, call us or email us.
How do I modify my gender, age, or height? How do I update my password?
Follow the steps below to modify your gender, age, or height:
Tap on the “My Account” icon (the bottom right corner of the App main screen), then tap your profile image or tap on the “>” icon on the right.
On the user Profile screen, edit your gender, name, age (birth date), and height.
On this profile screen, you can change your name too. It will be used for display. Also, on this page you can set to Athlete mode or update your password.
Tap on the “Confirm” button to save your changes.
Should I use the Athlete mode?
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.
How do I switch between weight units (lb and kg)?
Switch between weight units in your app: “My Account” > “Settings”. 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.
I’d like to set up my scale for multiple users, what should I do?
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 “My Account” at bottom right, then tap on “Add a member.”
Tap on “Add Measurement 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 “My Account” > “Add a member” > “Add Friends”.
The following image shows an Account owner (Jessica) has two users under her account (Nicolas and Emily) and one friend (Chris Anderson).
How to delete a scale user under my account?
To delete a scale user under your account:
(1) Open your Fit Profile app, go to the “My Account” screen.
(2) Swipe left on the user to be deleted. You will see a “Delete” button in red. Tap “Delete” and press “Confirm” to confirm your deletion.
Measurement
What is the weight range of my scale?
Your scale has a weight measurement range of 0.2 to 396 lb (0.1 to 180 kg), with an accuracy of 0.2 lb (0.1 kg).
More details about the scale’s resolutions:
Weight Range |
Error Less Than |
0 – 110 lbs (or 0 – 50 kg) |
±0.2 lbs (or ±0.1 kg) |
110 – 220 lbs (or 50 – 100 kg) |
±0.4 lbs (or ±0.2 kg) |
220 – 396 lbs (or 100 – 180 kg) |
±0.7 lbs (or ±0.3 kg) |
Please don’t use the scale if your weight is more than 396 lbs.
Can I weigh without Fit Profile app open?
Yes, you can use your scale without your app open. You will see your weight from the scale. But you may lose some features without your app open.
With your app open, your measurements will be added to your app through your app’s Bluetooth connections to your scale.
Should I use the Athlete mode?
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.
How does the scale measure my body fat and other body compositions?
Like most household body fat scales, the Fit Plus 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.
How do I view my data history?
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.
How can I manually add measurement data?
Sometimes you may need to manually add your weight and your body fat data. Often it happens when you weighted without using your Fit Plus Smart Scale. To add data, please do following:
(1) Open your Fit Profile app on the “Measurements” screen (big circle with your weight in the center).
(2) Tap “+” at top right, and tap “Manual Input”.
(3) Select your weight on the slide. Then tap “+” on “Body Fat” and select your body fat. If you don’t know your body fat, please just put a number close. Then tap “Date” to enter the date.
(4) Tap “Save” to save the data. The data will be stored.
The manually entered data will be treated same as the scale measurement data. It will be shown up and graphed in your “Trends”.

(1) Place the scale on a flat hard surface, such as tile or hardwood floors. Don’t place the scale on soft carpet.
(2) Make sure your gender, age and height are correct.
(3) Choose right mode: Athlete or regular. People who are athletes or muscular, should choose Athlete mode.
(4) Calibrate the scale before measurements. Apply pressure to turn on the scale and wait “CAL” back to “0.0”. At this point, calibration is complete.
(5) Now you are ready to measure. Step on the scale barefoot, no socks or shoes. Make sure your both feet are on the electrode pads on either side. Stand still without movements during measurement. Your weight will flash twice, and “0” move back and forth. When your weight displays again, your measurement is done.
(6) In order for measurements comparable, take measurements at about same time and under similar conditions. Empty bladder before weighing. Do not measure when your body is wet.
Which devices are supported by Fit Plus Smart Scales?
Fit Plus Smart Scales work with Android and iOS devices with Bluetooth v4.0 and above, Android phones with Android v4.3 and above, and iPhones or iPads with iOS v8.0 and above.
Please download Fit Profile mobile app from Google Play or Apple App Store.
Why do we have more than 100% when all components added up?
The main components of the chemical structure of human body include fat tissues, water, protein, and inorganic tissues. A fat tissue is mainly comprised of fat and water, wherein water accounts for about 25% of total fat tissues. A muscle tissue is mainly comprised of protein and water, wherein water accounts for about 70% of total muscle tissues.
This body fat scale measures contents of fat tissues, muscle tissues, water, bone, and other major tissues in human body. Due to various tissues containing certain proportions of water, the sum exceeds 100% when all the measured components are added up.

Privacy and Safety
Why does the app need my height, age, and other private information when I first sign in?
The Fit Plus Body Composition Smart Scale uses the Bio-electric Impedance Analysis Method to measure body compositions. An algorithm is used to determine body fat percentage, body mass, etc. based upon the bio-electric impedance, and variables of height, weight, gender, and age group.
It is important to provide your correct information (gender, age and height) in order for your measurements to reflect your actual status. Not knowing your profile, the scale can only measure your weight.
Your personal information will be kept private and will only be used for body composition measurements.
Why does the app request my location info?
The Fit Profile app does not need your location info, neither save nor use your location data in any way. This is required by Android. Location service must be turned on to use Bluetooth.
If your phone is Android version 6.0 or above, you will be prompted to allow the Fit Profile app to access your phone’s location. Without this permission, the Fit Profile app will not be able to make connection to your scale. Please tap the “ALLOW” button during the app setup. If you accidentally denied the access, you need to change it. You can do it from your phone’s settings.
Will my profiles and measurements be kept private?
Yes, your profile and your measurements are kept private.
At Fit Plus we treat your privacy seriously. We deploy all efforts to protect the private nature of your personal information. Your personal information is only used as variables to determine body composition measurements.
Our servers are primarily located in the United States; our products and services may be provided using resources and servers located in various countries around the world. We use appropriate technical and organizational information security measures to protect your data.
For more details please read our Privacy Policy published on our website (https://global-efit.com/en-cn/pages/privacy-policy).
Please explain how the data are shared among friends and users.
Once you set up your Fit Profile account, you can have Friends and Users. A User differs from a Friend.
A User (a Measurement User) refers to someone using the scale under your account. A User doesn’t have a separate account. As the account owner, you set up your Users. You can see all of your user’s data. You can delete a User. Users can be used when parents track their children’s or coaches track their clients’ measurements.
A Friend has his/her own Fit Profile account. Once accepted by both, two account owners become Friends (one sends a request, and another accepts). Friends can view each other’s measurement history. It is great for weight loss buddies to encourage each other and hold each other accountable.
Can we share the scale among family members but keep each person’s measurements private?
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 “Measurements” 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.
Please explain the body composition scale safety.
The Fit Plus Body Composition Smart Scales are safe to most people. However, please read Warnings and Cautions first before use the products. Do not use if you have a pacemaker, or any other internal medical devices in your body.
The Fit Plus scales uses Bio-electrical Impedance Analysis Method (BIA Method) to measure body compositions. This non-invasive test simply involves your feet touching the four electrode pads on the scale. It is safe as the electrical current is very low level and imperceptible.
This body composition scales are not designed for babies or toddlers under 4 years old. Please use baby scales for small children.
There are no findings that body composition scales are dangerous to pregnant women. However, when pregnant your body compositions differ a lot. This scale will measure your weight accurately, but it is not designed to measure pregnant women’s body compositions.

(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 still until the measurement complete. First you see your weight will flash twice on your scale, then number “0” moves back and forth. When the “0” stops moving and your weight appears again, your measurements are done.
(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.
My data seem fluctuated. Is it normal?
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.
My weight data seem inaccurate. What should I do?
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. Pull out one battery and put it back in, 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.
My body fat data seem inaccurate and inconsistent. What should I do?
If you are a bodybuilder, this scale may not fit you well. If you are an athlete or someone work out intensively, you need to select the Athlete mode in your profile. The normal mode doesn’t work well with muscular users. It is a major factor causing body fat inaccuracy.
In terms of measurement consistency, human body weight and body fat do change during the day. We recommend users measure around same time each day and under similar conditions. For example, you can weigh yourself first thing in the morning, or in the evening weigh right before dinner each day, to keep things consistent.
Some users may notice that their body fat measured different from the data from other scales. It is indeed not unusual. Fat is a special and complex tissue in the human body. It includes subcutaneous fat, visceral fat, and others, and is widely present in various parts of the body. Currently there are several popular methods for measuring body fat percentage, different methods may produce different results. One method is called the DEXA Method (Dual Energy X-ray Absorption Method), while most household body fat scales employ another method called the BIA Method (Bio-electrical Impedance Analysis Method). The Fit Plus Smart Body Composition Scales use the BIA Method. It is worth noting that all methods present certain level of measurement discrepancies, and different manufacturers may implement with different algorithms too. No instrument can give absolute and correct answers.
Rather than concerning about different measurement values from different scales, here we should focus on relative changes of the values measured by the same device over long term. Sticking with the same assessment system will likely yield a better overall picture of a person’s health status. Again, we must stress that often relative changes of value are more meaningful than absolute value of a single measurement.
What should I do if the scale is not displaying the data, or if it displays something unusual?
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”: “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 396 lbs (180 kg).

My trends show some data not mine, how to avoid it?
There are a few possible situations.
First, if your scale has more users, or your app has set up multiple users, some other people’s measurements may load to your name. It may also happen when someone is using your scale without your knowledge. It is one case for your app retrieving some unknown measurements.
A second situation is that your app may pick up data from some other scales. It could happen when your app paired with this scale in the past. You don’t use this scale anymore, but you didn’t delete it from your app either. Your app may get data from this scale. To avoid it happening, simply remove these unused scales from your app. You should keep one scale in your app, your own scale.
To delete the unwanted data, please refer to “How can I delete a set of my measurement data?”
