can be quickly disconnected.
►
Ensure that your local power supply matches the details on the
power pack.
►
Never touch the power pack with wet hands.

Do not use an extension cable and multiple outlets. This also applies
to the USB connection on the touchscreen display.

Ensure that the weighing platform is dry before the patient steps
onto it.
►
Ensure that the patient has dry feet before stepping onto the
weighing platform.
