Look inside the battery compartment to turn it on... ;-)
It's fine, nice, big display that's easy to read...  BUT, you have to open the battery compartment and turn it on before the first use - which the instructions that come with it don't tell you.  I had actually started a return, because I thought it was either defective or the battery was dead (I wasn't willing to buy a battery for a scale that might be defective).  However, I got to thinking about it, and went back and got it out of the box to look at it a little closer... come to find out, my old eyes just couldn't see that little switch next to the battery without reading glasses!  It's OFF, and you switch it to either kg or lb to turn it on.  After that, all you do is step on it to turn it on... I took off one star for them not telling that in the instruction sheet - but otherwise, it's nice - and the price is great!
