Is the PS425 a smart scale?
No. Voice output does not make the PS425 a smart scale. This model measures body weight and announces the result. It does not measure body fat, body water or muscle percentage, and it does not connect to a smartphone app.
How to use the Medisana PS425
- Insert three AAA batteries with the polarity shown in the device instructions.
- Place the scale on a hard, flat and stable floor. Avoid carpet or other soft surfaces.
- Select the preferred weight unit.
- Choose one of the four available voice languages.
- Step onto the center of the platform. The Step-on function activates the scale automatically.
- Stand upright and still while the measurement is taken.
- Wait for the reading to stabilize and for the scale to announce the result.
- Step off carefully; the scale switches off automatically.
How to change the voice language
The PS425 supports German, English, French and Spanish. Use the language control described in the model instructions to cycle through the available options. Arabic is not included among the supported voice languages, so check the LCD display if none of the available languages is suitable.
What to do if the PS425 voice is not working
- Check whether the batteries are depleted or incorrectly installed.
- Verify the selected voice/language setting.
- Step off, allow the scale to reset, then activate it again using Step-on.
- If the LCD shows a weight but voice output remains unavailable after the settings are checked, consult the product instructions or technical support.
How to get more consistent weight readings
- Always use a hard, level surface.
- Stand near the center of the platform and remain still.
- For trend tracking, weigh under similar conditions and at a similar time of day.
- Do not over-interpret a single reading; body weight naturally changes with food and fluid intake.
How to clean the PS425
- Do not stand on the scale with wet feet.
- Wipe the platform with a soft, slightly damp cloth when necessary.
- Dry the surface before using the scale again.
- Do not immerse the scale in water or use abrasive cleaners.
- Replace all three batteries when the low-battery indicator appears.
What happens above 180 kg?
The PS425’s specified weighing range ends at 180 kg. Do not rely on measurements outside the manufacturer’s stated range. If you need a higher-capacity scale, choose a model designed for that load.
