Replaced the batteries in scale and in remote and now nothing appears when I push any of the buttons. The scale won't work. I held the up arrow for three seconds and re-set the scale and still absolutely nothing. All I did was replace the batteries and yes, the batteries are fully charged and in the correct position. I have tripled checked.

Follow this procedure to troubleshoot if the TV does not respond to the supplied remote control.

1. Remove the batteries from the remote control.
2. Press each button on the remote control twice.
3. Make sure none of the remote control buttons are jammed.
4. Install fresh batteries into the remote control. IMPORTANT: Make sure the batteries are inserted in the (+ and -) direction shown inside the battery compartment.
5. Make sure nothing is blocking the Infrared (IR) sensor on the TV. IMPORTANT: Some locations can interfere with the IR signal from the remote control. Glass enclosures, as well as fluorescent or halogen lights, may prevent the IR signal from reaching the TV.
   
6. Point the remote control at the IR sensor of the TV.
7. Press the POWER button and other buttons to test TV operation. IMPORTANT: Do not hold down the POWER button too long. Doing so may prevent the remote control from operating the TV.
   NOTES:
   
   • If some of the remote control buttons operate the TV but others do not, the remote control may need replaced.
   • If all of the remote control buttons work, no further troubleshooting is required. Otherwise, continue troubleshooting below.
8. Try using the remote control at varying distances from the TV. IMPORTANT: Using the remote control too close or too far away may prevent the IR signal from reaching the TV.
9. Turn the Light Sensor setting to OFF.
   1. On the TV itself, press the HOME button on the TV.
   2. Using the up arrow or down arrow select Preferences.
   3. Press the INPUT button.
   4. Press the up arrow or down arrow to select ECO.
   5. Press the INPUT button.
   6. Use the up arrow or down arrow to select Light Sensor.
   7. Press the INPUT button.
   8. Press the up arrow or down arrow to select OFF.
   9. Press the INPUT button.
10. Power reset the TV.
11. Make sure the TV has the latest system software (firmware) update installed, if applicable.

The troubleshooting steps above should resolve the issue. If you completed all the steps and the issue is not resolved, service may be required or the remote control may need replaced. Contact the Customer Experience Center at (239) 768-7547 to speak with a service representative for further assistance.

For resetting it would be similar to the initial setting process. FOLLOW these steps:

Lift display cover. Push "SET" button at bottom of pad. User "1" and "2" will appear.
User "1" will start blinking. Press the "USER" button to choose user "1" or "2". Once selected, press "SET" button to lock in information.
Both "HEIGHT" and "AGE" will appear on the screen. The "HEIGHT" will start blinking. Press the "UP" or "DOWN" arrows to find the correct height.

After entering height, press the "AGE" button. Use the "UP" and "DOWN" arrows to enter correct age and press "SET".

Both "MALE" and "FEMALE" images will be displayed. Press the "GENDER" button until the correct MALE/FEMALE image blinks and then press "SET". This will lock in the information.
Your correct information including User, Height, Age, and Gender will be displayed. Now you are ready to calculate weight.

Tap your person "USER" number (1 or 2) in center of scale with your toe. Your personal profile will appear. Wait until "000" appears. Stand on scale so bare feet are positioned over silver pad surface. "000" will blink your weight for approximately 3 seconds. "BF" will flash and body fat percentage will appear. The scale will turn off automatically in a few seconds.

Did you get an answer to your problem?

Make sure nothing is covering your contacts in the battery compartment, try cleaning the contacts with Alcohol.

The wires will have pulled off the circuit board inside.

Remove screws (force a hex driver in there) and solder wire back on.

Train surgey (geddit) is very fiddly. Have a drink first! ;-)

I held the two arrow and set buttons together for a few seconds and it cleared

Understanding Your Readings
Healthy Range Indicator
(Please note this function is only applicable on adult mode, as no standard healthy ranges have been established for children and athletes.)
Your body fat monitor/scale instantly compares your body fat reading to the healthy range chart. Following your body fat reading, a black bar will flash across the bottom of the display, identifying where you fall within the body fat ranges for your age and gender.
(-): Underfat; below the healthy range. Increased risk for health problems
(O): Healthy; within the healthy body fat percentage range for your age/gender
(+): Overfat; above the healthy range. Increased risk for health problems
(++): Obese; high above the healthy body fat range. Greatly increased risk of obesity related problems.

does your scale have an orange SET button and a button with a triangle (or arrow) below the display?

Try this... make sure the scale is turned off. (and you are not standing on it)

Now press the SET button.
2 arrows should appear on the display. use the arrow/triangle key below the display to make changes and the SET key to choose.

If you have the same scale as me, you are prompted to chose Adult/Child followed by Male/Female, and finally input your height in feet/inches by pushing the arrow/triangle key until the display shows the desired height.

Press SET to finish and step on the scale like you usually do. It will now show your weight followed by your body fat %.

Hope this helps you!

I held down the "VCR" button in the top row and while holding it down I entered the code. Then I released all buttons and pushed power and LOW AND BEHOLD it worked.

I have a WW36DG digital scale and most of the instructions are the same, so far as I can see. When you tap on the scale, 888.888 appears. It is just seting itself. If you step on the scale before it reads 00.0 it wil give you a Err signal. If you stepped on the scale after it read 00.0, and an Err signal appears, either your battery is very low or it is malfunctioning. it does have a 10 year warranty on it. For the person wanting to set the scale, here are the directions. Good luck.
