Recalibration of Aria 2 inquiry

[Techy]

How often should I have to calibrate it because I have to lean it on its side to for storage?

I’d rather not have to recalibrate it but I don’t have the space in my bathroom for it to sit flat. And even if I did I’d have to worry about the cats laying on it and activating it draining the batteries.

Hi @Techy 

Please refer to Page 9 of the pdf (Page 6 of the Aria Manual)

I hope this helps!

Not quite page 9. Was page 6 for me but for anyone searching here's what I seen.

Ensuring accuracy
Use these tips to get the most accurate and consistent readings from your scale:
● Use your Aria 2 while barefoot. The scale cannot measure body fat percentage
if you’re wearing shoes or socks.
● Make sure your feet are dry before weighing yourself.
● Place your Aria 2 on a hard, flat surface during use. Using the scale on a soft
surface - like carpet or linoleum - may affect the accuracy of the Aria 2's
readings.
● Balance your weight evenly between both feet while standing on the scale.
● Weigh yourself at the same time each day to see consistent trends. Your
weight and body fat percentage will naturally vary over the course of the day.
● 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.

NOTE: Body fat percentage, BMI, and lean mass measurements require that your Aria
2 scale has been set up with your Fitbit account. You do not need to
complete this setup to weigh yourself.
