To accurately measure your weight on a weighing machine, follow these steps:
Preparation
- Barefoot: Remove your shoes and socks before stepping on the scale. This ensures direct contact with the machine for an accurate reading.
- Stable Surface: Place the weighing machine on a flat, hard, and even surface. Avoid carpets or uneven flooring.
Stepping on the Scale
- Power On: The scale may automatically power on when you step on it.
- Stand Still: Once on the scale, stand completely still. Avoid moving or swaying to ensure an accurate reading.
- Full Contact: Ensure your feet have full contact with the surface of the scale. Do not stand on the edge of the scale.
- Maintain Balance: Distribute your weight evenly on the scale, making sure that you are balanced.
Reading the Weight
- Wait for Display: Allow the scale to complete the measurement, which will display your weight on the screen. The display should stabilize before you consider the reading final.
