"stones" (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 deter-
gents and never immerse the scale in water.
• Protect the scale against hard knocks, moisture, dust, chemicals, major temperature fluc-

first check the batteries and replace them if necessary.

2. Operation

2.1 Batteries

If present, pull the battery insulating strip off the battery compartment cover or remove the bat-
tery'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 bat-
tery" indicator. When the scale is operated with a battery which is too weak, "Lo" appears in the
display field and the scale automatically switches off. In this case the batteries must be replaced
(2x CR 2032).

2.2 Measuring weight only

Step onto the scale. Stand still with your weight distributed equally on both feet. The scale begins
to take measurements straight away. If the display appears continuously, the measurement has
finished.
If you step off the weighing area, the scale switches off after a few seconds.

2.3 Setting user data

To measure your body fat percentage and other physical data, you must enter your personal user para meters.
The scale has 10 memory positions in which you and other members of your family can save and recall personal
settings. Please note that the memory begins with 1.
Switch on the scale (tap the standing surface). Wait until the display shows "0.0".
Then press "SET". The first memory position will appear flashing on the display. Now you can enter the following
settings:
