Automatic switchover
of weighing range
The scales are equipped with two weighing ranges.
Weighing range 1 (
) offers a more precise weight
indication with a reduced load-bearing capacity.
Weighing range 2 (
) allows you to take advantage
of the maximum load-bearing capacity of the scales.
When the scales are switched on, weighing range 1 is
activated. If a specific weight value is exceeded, the
scales automatically switch to weighing range 2.
To switch back to weighing range 1 proceed as
follows:
 Remove all loads on the scales.
Weighing range 1 is activated again.
Switch off scales
 Press the Start key.
NOTE:
In rechargeable battery operation, the scale
switches off after a short time if there is no load
on it.
Between 18.5 and
24.9
The patient's weight is normal.
Between 25 and 30
(pre-obesity)
The patient is slightly to moderately overweight and should
lose weight if already suffering from disease (e.g. diabetes,
high blood pressure, gout, disorders of the fat metabolism).
Over 30
The patient urgently needs to lose weight as this is putting a
strain on the metabolism, circulation and skeleton. The
recommendation is for careful adherence to a diet, plenty of
exercise and behavioural training. If in doubt, a medical speci-
alist should be consulted.
