To reset your RENPHO body fat scale, you have two straightforward options: either temporarily remove a battery or utilize the dedicated reset button located on the back of the device. Both methods can help resolve minor issues or prepare your scale for new users.
How to Reset Your RENPHO Scale
Resetting your scale is a quick process that can often fix connectivity issues or calibration discrepancies. Here are the two primary methods:
Method 1: Using Battery Removal
This is a common method for many electronic devices and works effectively for RENPHO scales.
- Locate the Battery Compartment: Turn your RENPHO scale over to find the battery compartment, usually on the underside.
- Remove One Battery: Carefully take out just one of the batteries from its slot.
- Wait: Keep the battery out for approximately 5 seconds. This brief pause allows any residual power to drain, ensuring a full reset.
- Reinsert the Battery: Place the battery back into its slot, ensuring correct polarity.
- Test: Flip the scale back over and step on it to see if it powers on and functions correctly.
Method 2: Using the Reset Button
Some RENPHO scale models feature a dedicated physical reset button, offering an even quicker way to perform a reset.
- Locate the Reset Button: Turn your scale over. Look for a small button, often recessed, labeled "Reset" or with a reset icon. It's usually found near the battery compartment or edge of the scale.
- Press and Hold: Use a pen tip, paperclip, or your finger (if accessible) to press and hold the reset button for 5 seconds.
- Release: After 5 seconds, release the button.
- Test: Place the scale on a hard, flat surface and step on it to check its functionality.

For quick reference, here's a summary of the two methods:
