My HUAWEI body fat scale cannot measure my body fat percentage
My HUAWEI body fat scale cannot measure my body fat percentage |
Preconditions for body fat percentage data availability:
- If you're using a HUAWEI Scale 3 Pro, make sure to step onto the scale barefoot and pull the handle up for comprehensive data including body fat percentage and heart rate. Otherwise, only your weight and BMI will be available in the Huawei Health app.
- Body composition measurements are not supported for users of certain age groups. Such users will only obtain their weight and heart rate data from a scale, with their body fat percentage displaying as "----".
- HUAWEI Scale 3 Pro: Body composition measurements are not supported for those aged under 6 or over 80.
- Other scale models: Body composition measurements are not supported for those aged under 18 or over 65.
Check your personal information
Check whether your personal information (such as gender, date of birth, height, and weight) is correctly set. To do so, go to Huawei Health > Me > Profile. Make sure not to set gender to Prefer not to say. Once the settings are done, you'll need to perform an online measurement via Huawei Health, so that the scale can identify your information.
Perform a measurement in the correct manner
Refer to the instructions here to assume the standard posture for a measurement.
Your scale will first measure your weight, and then, after your weight data stops flashing, go on to measure other health data. The measurement is complete when your weight and body fat percentage are displayed alternately. Make sure to wait till your body fat percentage shows on the scale before stepping off the scale.
Check whether your soles are too dry or hardened
Apply moisturizer to your soles and try again.
Check for unassigned data before an offline measurement
- For an offline measurement, if two or more users in the Weight management card of the Huawei Health app have a weight difference of 2–3 kg, body fat percentage data is only available after you check and confirm the unassigned weight data.
To do so, go to Huawei Health > Health > Weight management, and touch
in the upper right corner and then Unassigned data.
If the issue persists
In the Huawei Health app, navigate to the device details screen, restore your scale to its factory settings, and link it with the app again.
A factory reset will unlink the scale from Huawei Health on your phone and clear all user information and data from the scale. Exercise caution before proceeding.
If the issue remains unresolved, back up your data and take your device and proof of purchase to an authorized Huawei Customer Service Center for assistance. We will do our best to address your needs.
