this may affect their functionality.
• Do not use during pregnancy.

• Swallowing batteries can be extremely dangerous. Keep the batteries and scale out of
the reach of small children. Should a battery be swallowed, seek medical assistance immediately.
• Keep packaging material away from children (risk of suffocation).
• Important: do not step onto the scale with wet feet or if the surface of the scale is damp – danger
of slipping!
Notes on handling batteries
• If your skin or eyes come into contact with battery fluid, rinse the affected areas with water and
seek medical assistance.
• Choking hazard! Small children may swallow and choke on batteries. Therefore, store batter-
ies out of the reach of small children.
• Observe the plus (+) and minus (-) polarity signs.
• If a battery has leaked, put on protective gloves and clean the battery compartment with a dry cloth.
• Protect the batteries from excessive heat.
• Risk of explosion! Do not throw batteries into a fire.

compartment.

General notes
• Please note that measuring tolerances are possible for technical reasons, as this scale is not cali-
brated for use in a professional medical context.
• The scale's maximum capacity is 200 kg (440 lb/31 st). The results for the weight measurement
and bone mass calculation are displayed in 100-g increments (0.2 lb/0-19st: 0.2 lb; 20-31st: 1lb).
• Measurements of body fat, body water and muscle content are displayed in increments of 0.1%.
• The calorie requirement is indicated in increments of 1 kcal.
• When supplied to the customer, the scale is set to weigh and measure in "kg" and "cm".
• Place the scale on an even, hard surface; a hard surface is crucial for achieving accurate meas-
urements.
• Repairs may only be carried out by Beurer Customer Services or authorised retailers. Before sub-
mitting a complaint, please check the batteries first and replace them if necessary.
