I have a healthometer scale, and the light seemed to be dimming to show what the weight is, so I figured it needed new batteries. Since I have put new batteries in, all of a sudden I went from 198 lbs. to 84. What is happening? I have it on lb rather than kg...my model number is HDM761D1Q-01 A336BM

1. The Platform on which you stand may be hitting the base of the scale. The corner that your heels are on is adjustable from the bottom of the base. Turn the scale over on its side and remove the round plastic foot. Insert an Allen wrench into the now exposed hole and turn the screw to raise that corner of the platform.
Note: If you adjust one corner, be sure to adjust the opposite corner to keep the platform levelor.
2. Look under the base of the scale and make sure no foreign item is lodged into the base and that no parts have come out of the base.
