FAQ on Using the Bluetooth Body Fat Scale — Smart Diagnostic Scales
Smart Bluetooth bathroom scale: construction and power supply
The platform is tempered glass; the housing is plastic. A Bluetooth module is integrated for connection to a smartphone. Power depends on the modification: most often 2xAAA (occasionally 3xAAA); versions with a built-in rechargeable battery and USB charging also exist. The power type is indicated on the rating label of the device and/or in the manual.
Compatibility and management application
The scale works with iOS and Android smartphones via the OKOK International application. Synchronization with other ecosystems (Apple Health, Samsung Health, Huawei Health, Google Fit, Garmin, etc.) is not supported.
Can it be used without a phone
Yes. Without the app, the display shows only body weight; extended indicators are available in the application.
Which parameters are measured
In addition to weight, the app displays bioimpedance-based calculated metrics: % fat, water, muscle and bone mass, BMI, basal metabolic rate (BMR), visceral fat, “biological age,” and others. The scale’s display shows the weight and service indicators.
How bioimpedance (BIA) works
A weak current passes through the electrodes in the platform, tissue resistance is measured, and the application calculates body composition considering the entered data (height, sex, age). For correct measurements, stand barefoot with dry feet, covering both electrodes with each foot.
Safety in analysis modes
Use BIA only in the absence of medical contraindications. If you have implanted electronic devices, are pregnant, or are unsure—use the scale as a conventional one (weight only) and do not activate body composition analysis.
.Accuracy and operating conditions
For a number of modifications, resolution/measurement error is specified as 50 g. For stable readings, place the scale on a hard, flat surface (tile/laminate), not on a carpet; do not move the device between weighings; stand still until the result is fixed. Low battery charge and uneven flooring lead to scattered readings.
Maximum load
Depends on the model: up to 150–180 kg. The overload indicator is displayed in case of excess load.
Minimum measurable weight
The minimum threshold depends on the modification and may differ (values from ~0.1 to 2 kg occur). The scale is intended primarily for measuring human body mass; objects and animals can be weighed if their mass exceeds the trigger threshold.
Platform dimensions and “large foot”
A typical platform size is 26x26 cm. If your foot is larger than the platform, this does not impede weighing—distribute your weight at the center.
Indicators and display
LED display with backlight. “LO” means low battery charge. On some modifications an ambient temperature value is shown in a corner—this is an auxiliary function.
Unit switching
A button on the underside of the housing switches kg/pounds (lb). On some modifications, a restart/brief Bluetooth disablement may be required to retain the units on the display.
Multi-user mode
Memory for up to 8 users in the application. Profiles are created in OKOK International; each participant’s data is stored separately.
Bluetooth pairing: basic procedure
Install OKOK International, enable Bluetooth and the required permissions, create a profile, step on the scale (to activate it), then add the device in the application. During initial setup, it is more convenient to keep the phone screen open on the “Device search” step.
Calibration and restoration of correct readings
Place the scale on a hard, flat surface, wait for “0.0,” step on and off, then weigh yourself again. In case of severe desynchronization, remove the batteries for 10–15 minutes and reinstall them. Some versions have a reset/“CAL” button on the underside—follow the instructions for your modification.
The screen does not light up or the scale turns off quickly
Check polarity and replace the batteries with new ones; remove any shipping films from the sensors; press the button on the back. If there is no indication, a malfunction is possible.
Voice guidance
Voice prompts are not provided.
Care and operation
Use in a dry room at room temperature, prevent moisture on the electrodes, wipe with a soft dry cloth. Do not jump on the platform; do not overload the device; store and use on a flat surface.
Materials and glass thickness
The platform is made of tempered glass; the exact thickness may vary depending on batch/model and is not regulated by a single value.
Modification types and external differences
The functionality of color variants is generally identical; versions “without a display” (with alternative indication) and versions with different patterns/markings on the panel may occur; this does not affect measurements.
How to power on the Bluetooth Body Fat Scale after installing the batteries
After installing the batteries, the scale activates automatically when you press on the platform with your foot. There is no separate power button. If no indication appears, check the batteries and their polarity.
