Weight is determined within a few
seconds.
In addition to the conventional determina-
tion of weight, the seca 799 also has a
function for determining body mass index.
For this purpose, height is entered on the
keypad and the body mass index associ-
ated with the weight value is output.
The scale is of a very sturdy construction
and will give you long and loyal service. It
is easy to operate and the large display is
easy to read.
The seca 799 can be moved on castors,
and its low power consumption means
that it can be used on a mobile basis with
batteries for long periods.

"Changing the batteries" on page 24).
• Have scale serviced and re-calibrated
on a regular basis (see chapter entitled
"Servicing/recalibration" on page 24).

ised persons.
