1. I mportant notes –
keep for later use!
1.1 Safety notes:
• The scales must not be used by persons with medical implants (e.g. heart pace-
makers). Otherwise their function could be impaired.
• Do not use during pregnancy.
• Caution! Do not stand on the scale with wet feet and do not step on the scale when its
surface is wet – danger of slipping!
• Batteries are highly dangerous if swallowed. Keep batteries and scale out of reach of small children. If
batteries are swallowed, get medical help immediately.
• Keep children away from packing materials (danger of suffocation).
• Batteries must not be charged or reactivated by other means, taken apart, thrown into a fire or short-
circuited.
1.2 General notes:
• Not intended for medical or commercial use.
• Please note that measuring tolerances are possible due to technical reasons because the scale has not
been calibrated.
• Ages 10 ... 100 years and height settings from 100 ... 220 cm (3-03"–7-03") can be preset. Load ca-
pacity: max. 150 kg (330 lb, 24 st). Result in steps of 100g (0.2 lb, 1/4 st). Measurements of body fat,
body water and muscle density in steps of 0.1%.
• When supplied to the customer, the scale is set to weigh and measure in "kg" and "cm". To the rear of
the scales, there is a switch where you can select 'pound' and 'stone' (lb, st).
• Place the scale on a firm level floor; a firm floor covering is required for correct measurement.
• The scale should be cleaned occasionally with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive detergents and ne-
ver immerse the scale in water.
• Protect the scale against hard knocks, moisture, dust, chemicals, major temperature fluctuations and
heat sources which are too close (stove, heating radiators).
• Repairs may only be carried out by customer service or authorized dealers. Before submitting any
complaint, first check the batteries and replace them if necessary.
• Please dispose of the blanket in accordance with the directive 2002/96/EG – WEEE (Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment). If you have any queries, please refer to the local authori-
ties responsible for waste disposal.

2. Operation

2.1 Batteries
If present, pull the battery insulating strip off the battery compartment cover or remo-
ve the battery's protective film and insert the battery according to the polarity. If the
scale fails to operate, remove the battery completely and insert it again. Your scale is
equipped with a "replace battery" indicator. When the scale is operated with a battery
which is too weak, "LO" appears in the display field and the scale automatically swit-
ches off. In this case the battery must be replaced (1 x 3V lithium battery CR2032). The
used, completely drained standard and rechargeable batteries must be disposed of in
