Press the red button in the top right corner of the number pad. This button switches the scale between pounds and kilograms. There is no indicator to tell you which mode the scale is in, so you have to figure that out for your self. Since a kilo is more than twice as heavy as a pound it is pretty easy to do. Set a money amount on the scale and weigh an item. Press the red button to change the mode. The setting showing the lesser price is kilograms.

My wife has told me the scale Weighs in pounds. Red button on the front of scale allows you to switch from pounds to kilograms or the reverse.

just press the red button top right that says kg/lb..... press it twice to get to kilogram and once again to change to lbs.

Out of the box, the scale is set to pounds. To switch units, there is a button under the scale that you press to toggle from kilograms, stones, and pounds. On an older model, there is a three position switch instead. If the button doesn't work, then maybe you got water into the space around the button and the insides got damaged or rusted. This happened to me with a scale of a different brand. The EatSmart scale has taller legs so water damage may be less likely to happen.

Yes, but you need to do a tricky button-pushing tap dance just after turning it on. I'm still not getting consistent at changing from pounds to kilos. If you can remember that 1 kilo = 2.2 pounds, it's not too annoying to do the math after weighing. I still think these units are a fantastic bargain; just the thing for hand held portable use in an engineering lab.

Hi Natalie, I have purchased 11 of these scales between Amazon and Costco for commercial use, I have had one that has done the same thing. It is a defective scale, return it.

You can't, that scale is a piece of junk, I can weigh myself and reset the scale several times and it gives me a 5lbs range, totally unreliable

You have to check the instructions that came with your type of scale. You may also call their service dept and they might help you. Check on line if you do not have the instructions. Good luck.

I had the same issue. I purchased the weights to properly calibrate but still nothing. In my honest opinion, this scale is trash. Sorry

My scale did not measure bodyfat or any of the other listed measurements. It only allowed me to store my particulars and take weight measurements. Mine was either defective or wasn't really capable of doing the measurements as advertised. I sent mine back to Amazon and they refunded my money.Hope this helps you in determining your next course of action with your scale.

I used one item as a weight and changed the four different methods of weighing. The results:Weighs in lbs:oz (example: 0: 14.8 = 0 lb. 14.8 oz)Also weighs in lbs. (example: 0.92 = same as above)Also weighs in kilograms (example: 0.450kg)Also weighs in grams (example: 450g)Hope this answers your questions.

My weight display is not in pounds. It shows as 9: 8.2. Does anyone know how to change this... or decode it?

Get the calibration weights. They are an absolute MUST with inexpensive scales. This one is pretty accurate. I reweighed the same mass 5 times and got the same reading each time.

I trust you are not asking about the weight of the scale itself. It weighs in both kgs and lbs and its maximum weight is: (Max: 150kg/0.1 and 330lb/0.2). I use pounds lbs. There is a setting under the scale that holds the battery (included) and the switch to set the weight to kg or lb. It's very sleek and made of good quality glass. It's also very accurate, attractive, well made, and comfortable to use. I've had it for almost a year now and love it. You won't be sorry you bought it.

I have only just bought my scales Esther so cannot help but I suggest you write to the company you bought it from for their advice! That is what I would do:)

To be honest I never bother calibrating mine, and things have turned out okay. I did realize that was kind of dumb so compared the known weight of an object (weighed on another, calibrated one) to the weight shown on my scale and it was close enough for my purposes (like off by 0.1 or 0.01 (can't remember if there's two points after the decimal or not)). Though you can always calibrate w a nickel or other coin w a known weight of course.

The scale has switch to change from kilograms to pounds. It really is a lovely scale.

Thanks John. Sadly, I have just tried with no success. Just in case we are talking about different scales, I just bought the HBF-400. Even though the LCD display does have kg & cm indicators (unlit), I cant seem to find a way to make them work (i.e. change to metric). I have been playing with the buttons in order to find a way through. I am sure there has to be a way to access a factory settings mode... I hope there is one.

This happens to me every once in a while. I just tap the scale itself so it has to recalculate the weight. I go with what it first comes up with. Also make sure your scale is out of the way of direct airflow. I have had that cause problems for me before too.
