Manual 5789f — Taylor Scale

Q: Can I use the Taylor 5789F on carpet? A: No. The manual explicitly states that soft surfaces absorb weight and cause readings 5-15% lower than actual weight. Always use on a hard, flat floor.

Q: Why does my weight change when I move the scale? A: The scale auto-calibrates to gravity for that exact spot. The floor may be slightly uneven. Pick one location (e.g., master bathroom tile) and always use that spot.

Q: The display shows “C” — what does that mean? A: “C” typically indicates a calibration error or that the scale is in Calibration Mode. Remove batteries, wait 1 minute, replace. Do not press any buttons until “0.0” appears. taylor scale manual 5789f

Q: Can I replace the glass top? A: No. The glass is integrated with the sensor array. If cracked, the scale is unsafe to use (sharp edges, electrical issues). Replace the entire unit.

Q: Is this scale FDA approved for medical use? A: No. The Taylor 5789F is for consumer, fitness, and kitchen use only. It is not a medical device. Always consult a doctor for medical weight monitoring. Q: Can I use the Taylor 5789F on carpet

When the scale behaves unexpectedly, the Taylor Scale Manual 5789F provides a specific error code chart. Here are the most common ones:

| Error Code | Meaning | Solution | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Err | Overload — Weight exceeds maximum capacity (usually 400 lb or 180 kg). | Remove weight immediately to prevent sensor damage. Use a scale with higher capacity. | | Lo | Low battery. | Replace all three AAA batteries simultaneously. Do not mix old and new. | | UnSt | Unstable weight — You are moving or scale is on a soft surface. | Stand still. Move scale to hard, level floor (tile, wood, concrete). Avoid rugs. | | 0.0 flashes | Scale cannot find a stable zero point. | Check if something is stuck under the glass. Clean the feet. Turn off and retry. | | OLED/Display fade | Extreme temperature or dying battery. | Let scale return to room temperature (50-95°F / 10-35°C). Replace batteries. | When the scale behaves unexpectedly, the Taylor Scale

After inserting batteries or moving the scale:

Remove the scale from the box. Ensure the glass platform is free of cracks. Remove the plastic insulating tab from the battery compartment (usually located on the bottom of the scale). If there is no tab, open the battery cover and ensure batteries are seated correctly.
