My Aria flashed the low battery signal and within a few days I changed them (two at a time). Previously I'd step on the scale and my weight would vary from day -to-day. Sometimes I'd step on three times and average them because they were so different. Now that I've changed the battery it looks like I lost five pounds. Is it possible the low battery was leading to inaccuracies? Or could it need reset since I changed the batteries? If so, how do you reset?

There's an entry in the Aria 2 manual (I assume it's the same for the Aria) that says:

 

"If your Aria 2 is picked up and moved between measurements, or stored
sideways against a wall when not in use, the scale will go through a calibration
process the next time it is used for weighing. Up to two consecutive weigh-ins
will then be required before your scale is recalibrated and again displays
consistently accurate measurements. "

 

Could it that by lifting it to change the batteries it is now going through that calibration?
