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

For the best result, the scale should be standing on a hard level surface. When the scale is standing on for example a rug this can influence the measurement.

Good morning, How do I delete a profile on the scale? In the instructions it says to select the profile and change the date of birth or gender and then choose YES on CLR. But it does not work! The profile remains there and is also modified. Which proves that this selection only exists to agree to modify the profile and not to delete it... If anyone has a solution...

The battery was dead, so I replaced it with a new one and measured my weight, but it always shows 25KG. I am an adult around 54KG. Please tell me how to fix it.
