English 1. Congratulations!
By purchasing the seca 804 electronic
personal scale, you have acquired a high-
ly-accurate and sturdy piece of equip-
ment.
seca has been putting its experience at
the service of health for over 170 years
now, and as market leader in many
countries of the world, is always setting
new standards with its innovative devel-
opments for weighing and measuring.
In addition to determining weight conven-
tionally, the seca 804 can also calculate
Body Mass Index and body composition (proportion of body tissue made up of fat
and water). For this purpose, an imper-
ceptible, harmless AC current is passed
through the body.
The weight display can be switched be-
tween kilogrammes (kg), pounds (lb) and
stones (st). Weight is determined within a
few seconds.
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.
2. Safety
Before using the new scale, please take a little time to read the following safety instruc-
tions.
• Follow the safety instructions in the in-
struction manual.
• Keep the operating manual and the
declaration of conformity contained
therein in a safe place.
• You must not use this scale if you wear
a cardiac pacemaker, an insulin pump
or other electronically-controlled medi-
cal device. Their function could be im-
paired.
• Do not expose the scale to excessive
moisture.
• Do not drop the scale or subject it to vi-
olent shocks.
• Have repairs carried out exclusively by
authorised persons.
• Use only the type of battery stated (see
“Changing the batteries” on page 17).
