Look for a button on the underside of the scale or use the 'SET' button and arrow keys on the top surface (refer to Figure 4.2) to cycle through units. Press the unit button or use the 'SET' button to confirm your selection.
6.3. Usuari Profile Setup (for Body Composition Measurement)
If your PS 5040 model includes body composition analysis (e.g., body fat, muscle mass), you will need to set up user profiles. The 'SET' and arrow buttons (Up/Down) are used for this purpose.
- Entra al mode de configuració: Press the 'SET' button. The display will likely show a user number (e.g., P01).
- Select User Number: Use the Up/Down arrow buttons to select an empty user profile (e.g., P01-P10). Press 'SET' to confirm.

- Activity Level (if applicable) - Use Up/Down, then 'SET'.
- Desa Profile: Once all data is entered, the scale will save the profile and return to '0.0 kg'.
6.4. Measuring Body Composition

- If multiple users are set up, the scale may automatically recognize you or prompt you to select your user profile using the Up/Down arrows. Confirm with 'SET'.
- Remain still. The scale will send a low electrical current through your body (imperceptible) to measure impedance.
- The display will cycle through your body composition metrics (e.g., Body Fat %, Muscle Mass %, Water %, Bone Mass %).
- Step off the scale. The scale will turn off automatically.
