notes on handling batteries
• Swallowing batteries can be extremely dangerous. Keep the batteries and scale out of the reach
of small children. Should a child swallow a battery, seek medical assistance immediately.
• Replace weak batteries before they discharge completely.
• Always replace all batteries at the same time and use batteries of the same type.
• Batteries must not be recharged, taken apart, thrown into an open fire or short circuited.
• Leaking batteries may damage the device. If you do not intend to use the device for longer
periods, remove the batteries from the battery compartment.
• If a battery has leaked, put on protective gloves and clean the battery compartment with a dry
cloth.
• Batteries can contain toxins that are harmful to health and the environment. Always dispose of
batteries in accordance with applicable legal regulations. Do not dispose of batteries with the
normal household waste.
General notes
• The unit is for personal use only and is not intended for medical or commercial applications.
• Caution! Do not step onto the scale with wet feet or when the scale's surface is damp - danger of
slipping!
• Note that technical tolerances mean that results may vary, because the scale is not calibrated for
professional medical use.
• The scale can accept a maximum load of 150 kg (330 lb). The weight measurement is dis
played in increments of 100 g (0.2 lb).
• The measuring results of the body fat, body water and muscle percentage are shown in 0.1%
increments.
• On delivery, the scale is set to „cm" and „kg". At the back of the scales is a switch to change
between „pounds" and „stones".
• Place the scale on a firm level floor; a firm floor covering is required for correct measurement.
• Protect the unit against hard knocks, moisture, dust, chemicals, major temperature fluctuations
and heat sources which are too close (stoves, heating radiators).

ting any complaint, first check the batteries and replace them if necessary.
