My scale shows an unrealistically low weight when I stand on it, why is that? Verified

Question 6

My Sanitas scale displays "Err", what does that mean? Verified

Your scale needs to be set on a solid, level surface. Also make sure that your weight is distributed evenly on the scale. Soft, uneven surfaces can cause measurement problems. Also keep in mind that the maximum weight the scale can handle is 180 kilogram. If this does not solve the problem you should contact the manufacturer.
