Aria differs up to 5lbs when moved mere inches

[TO10]

I have a hardwood floor.  Scale rests on the hardwood in my closet.  I can get 10 different readings on 10 different attempts just by moving the scale.  Yesterday I moved it to the right 3” or less, and I had gained 5lbs.  Has anyone else experienced this?

Every time you move the scale it takes several weigh-ins to re-calibrate.

I don’t think moving it 3” to the left on a level floor should require recalibration. When my cleaners clean around it, it gets moved. It’s not like moving to a different room or a different floor surface. Three inches??

Any time the scale senses that it has been picked up, the scale goes into calibration mode. 

This is explained on Page 5, last point under Ensuring Accuracy of your user manual.

The scale isn’t being picked up. It naturally slides along the floor a few inches here or there as people vacuum nearby, etc. I weighed myself 7 times today, nothing recalibrated. It gave me the same (wrong) weight all 7 times. “Calibration mode” seems to be permanent. It doesn’t matter how many times I recalibrate, the BF is inaccurate and the scale gives a different value every single time.

With a new Aria 2, and having set up problems, I have been reading the manual.  I think my set up problems are to do with my ISP rather than the Aria, but I was intrigued by the item in the manual regarding moving the scale.  I don't have sufficient room to be able to leave the scale in the one place so I will need to move it a few inches, maybe a foot,  each time I use it. What variation can I expect?  Is there any way to suppress this re-calibration? If not I may have to return it.
