Connecting QardioBase to your Wi-Fi network allows your weight data to be transmitted without the need for your phone/tablet.
HOW TO TURN ON/OFF THE QARDIOBASE 7. After setup is complete, you can step on QardioBase to perform a weight measurement. By default, weight will display first, followed by % body fat. If you have shoes on, or if you have “Weight Only Mode” or “Pregnancy Mode” on, QardioBase will only display your weight. The Qardio App will show detailed body composition data, including weight, % body fat, % muscle mass, % water, % bone mass and BMI. To turn on QardioBase step on it, or tap it with your foot.
ACTIVATING SPECIAL MODES You select the mode of measurement upon configuration, and you can also change the mode selection by choosing the “Mode” button in the upper right hand corner. Alternatively, you can go into the Settings section of the Qardio App and scroll down to QardioBase, select “Mode setup.” Normal Mode “Normal Mode” will perform body weight measurement and body composition analysis. In this mode QardioBase will display weight first by default, followed by % body fat.
ATTENTION: QardioBase is safe to use by individuals that are 10 years old or older. People fitted with an implantable medical device must only use QardioBase in “Weight Only Mode”, which disables the body composition analysis. Do not use this product before first activating the “Weight Only Mode”, if you have implanted electronic medical devices, such as pacemakers or defibrillators. See the section on “Weight Only Mode” for more information.
Weight Only Mode If you have an implantable device such as a pacemaker or defirbrillator, you should always check that you have “Weight Only Mode” properly enabled by tapping the scale with your foot before stepping on. When the weight only mode icon displays you will know it is now safe to step on the scale to take your measurement. “Weight Only Mode” will perform a body weight measurement without body composition analysis.
DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS FOR CORRECT AND RELIABLE MEASUREMENTS If you have set up Wi-Fi you don’t need your phone/tablet to record your measurement. Step on QardioBase with the metal circle on the same side as your heels and your feet well apart for a correct body composition measurement.
It is important to stand still while on the platform of the scale. If QardioBase detects too much movement, after five seconds of attempting to take your measurement, you will be prompted with the “Hold Still” icon. This will remind you to stand still so QardioBase can take an accurate reading. You should step off and repeat the measurement.
USING QARDIOBASE WITH MULTIPLE USERS CHANGING WEIGHT MEASUREMENT UNIT AND OTHER SETTINGS Several users can connect their Qardio account with a single QardioBase. Weight measurements are automatically set based on the region setting of the smartphone or tablet when QardioBase is first used. To change them: The association of one or more Qardio accounts to QardioBase is important to allow QardioBase to recognize all users in a household.
SETTING GOALS weight you will need to lose or gain each week to stay on track to meet your goal. QardioBase allows you to set goals so you can keep track of your progress in any mode that you are using. If you have “Smart Feedback Mode” enabled, the facial expressions displayed upon measurement will reflect your progress towards the goal that you have set. 6. Hit the “Save” button located in the top right corner to record your new goal. 7.
RE-ASSIGNING A MEASUREMENT You can follow these steps to re-assign measurements: QardioBase can store in its memory the measurements of several pre-defined users. This information is used to identify and attribute new measurements taken to the respective user automatically: • In the event that a measurement is incorrectly attributed to a user, you can re-assign it to yourself (in this case, the measurement will automatically be removed from the profile of the incorrect user).
CHECKLIST FOR AN ACCURATE AND RELIABLE MEASUREMENT ✓ Place QardioBase on a flat, hard surface. Although QardioBase is suitable for use on most surfaces, soft, uneven flooring can cause the scale to give less reliable measurements of your weight. ✓ Try to measure your weight each day on the same scale and at the same time to see consistent trends. Your weight and body composition will naturally vary over the course of the day. ✓ Step onto the scale with your feet parallel and weight equally distributed.
✓ Ensure accurate data are included in your profile (height, age, biological sex) in the Qardio App. Inaccurate information affects the reliability of the body composition measurement. ✓ QardioBase is safe to use by individuals that are 10 years old or older. People fitted with an implantable medical device should only use QardioBase in “Weight Only Mode”, which disables the body composition analysis. Pregnant women should use QardioBase in “Pregnancy Mode” or “Weight Only Mode.
BODY COMPOSITION MEASUREMENT People fitted with an implantable medical device should only use QardioBase in “Weight Only Mode” which disables body composition analysis. If you have implanted electronic medical devices such as pacemakers or defibrillators, do not use QardioBase before activating “Weight Only Mode.” Please refer to instructions by the manufacturer of your medical device for more information. It is recommended that pregnant women use QardioBase in “Pregnancy Mode” or “Weight Only Mode.
CHANGING YOUR WI-FI NETWORK To connect QardioBase to your Wi-Fi network you will need to know the following information: If you have a new Wi-Fi name or password, you will need to reconnect your QardioBase to the new network. You can follow these steps to change your Wi-Fi configuration: 1. Ensure your phone or tablet is already paired to your QardioBase.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE • Open the battery hatch on the bott om of the scale. • Avoid high temperatures and direct sunlight.

If the problem occurs again, please contact customer support at support.getqardio.com You do not see your Wi-Fi network appear. Wi-Fi Signal is too weak.
TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM POTENTIAL CAUSE REMEDY Weight measurement is not appearing. You are moving too much while QardioBase attempts to measure you. It is important to stand still while on the platform of the scale. If QardioBase detects too much movement, you will be prompted with the “Hold Still” icon. This will remind you to stand still so QardioBase can take an accurate reading. If the problem occurs again, please contact customer support at support.getqardio.
TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM POTENTIAL CAUSE REMEDY Body analysis could not be performed. You do not have “Normal Mode” enabled.

If the problem occurs again, please contact customer support at support.getqardio.com You are not standing on the scale in the correct orientation Weight measurement seems unreliable. QardioBase is on an uneven or unstable surface.
TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM POTENTIAL CAUSE REMEDY Weight measurement seems unreliable. Water saturation from wet hair or body is skewing results. Ensure that you are completely dry. Try to measure your weight each day on the same scale at the same time to see consistent trends. If the problem continues to occur, please contact customer service at support.getqardio.com Body composition measurement is inaccurate. Your personal profile has inaccurate data.
