Configure a measurement item in the web app
Before using the Bluetooth scale in the mobile app, configure the measurement item in the web app.
Log in to the Jolt web app.
Navigate to the menu on the left and select lists > edit lists, then open the list where you want to add or edit a measurement item.
A modal window will appear. Select an item type (this can be a new measurement item or an existing one).
On the next page, navigate to measurement type and select weight.
For the input method, choose either manual or weight scale.
Next, select one of the available units (grams, kilograms, ounces, or pounds).
Click Save to apply changes. The measurement item is now configured and available in the mobile app.
Record a weight using the Bluetooth scale in the mobile app
Log in to the Jolt mobile app then select the list where the measurement item is available.
Select the measurement item configured for weight.
A scale button will appear. Tap on this button to turn on the Bluetooth scale.
A live reading will be displayed on the app, which will wait for a non-zero reading to be detected.
Tap record weight once the reading has stabilized. The measurement will be recorded and will be rounded to the nearest gram or ounce (up to two decimals).
Troubleshooting the Bluetooth scale
The mobile app is not connected to a Bluetooth scale
If the mobile app is not connected to a Bluetooth scale, an alert will appear on your screen showing “scale disconnected.” The app will search for nearby scale devices (displaying an identification number). If you are having trouble pairing, turn off the scale for one minute, turn it back on, then try connecting to the Jolt mobile app.
What do I do if there are multiple scales?
You should have a dedicated scale. When a scale is paired to a device, it will not be available for pairing with another device in the Jolt mobile app. If two or more Bluetooth scales are detected, you will see them displayed on the screen and will need to select one to connect to the Jolt mobile app.
The Bluetooth scale isn’t capturing the weight of the item
If you see “scale can’t connect” on the screen, a keypad option will appear for you to manually enter the weight of the item. Make sure to confirm the entry before closing the app.
For auditing purposes, there will be an indicator for the entry showing it was entered manually.
The Bluetooth scale captured an invalid reading
If you recorded an invalid reading, clear the result and tap the scale button again. This should allow you to capture an accurate reading.
