of the batteries might result. Never throw batteries
into fire or water. The batteries might explode.
Avoid extreme environmental conditions and
temperatures as they may affect batteries e.g.
above radiators. Otherwise the batteries are
more likely to leak.
Exhausted or damaged batteries can
cause caustic burns upon contact with
the skin. To avoid this, always wear
suitable protective gloves in these circumstances!
Avoid contact with the skin, eyes and mucous
membranes if fluid is leaking from a battery. If
you come into contact with corrosive battery
fluids, flush the affected area thoroughly with
clean water and contact a doctor immediately.
Remove the battery if you are not going to use
the device for an extended period.
When inserting the battery, ensure the correct
polarity! This is shown in the battery compart-
ment.
Remove a spent battery immediately from the
device. There is an increased danger of leaks!
Batteries must not be disposed of in the normal
domestic waste!
Every consumer is legally obliged to dispose of
batteries in the proper manner!
Keep batteries away from children; do not
throw batteries in the fire, short-circuit them or
take them apart.
If the above instructions are not complied with,
the battery may discharge itself beyond its end
voltage. There is then a danger of leaking. If
the battery has leaked inside your device, you
should remove it immediately in order to prevent
damage to the device!
Before first use
Removing the insulation strips
Note: The product is supplied with the battery
already in place. Before first use pull the insulation
strip out from between the battery and the battery
compartment.
Preparing for use
Inserting the battery
See Fig. 4 and 5 .
If the scales do not appear to work, check that
the battery has been inserted correctly and
reinsert it if necessary.
Note: The display indicates when it is time to
replace the battery. When you step on to the
scales and the battery is too weak, the LC display
shows “Lo” (see Fig. C) and the scales switch
off automatically.
If you see this message, replace the exhausted
battery with a new battery of the same type.
When you insert the battery, make sure that the
contacts do not get bent.
Setting the units of weight
Note: The standard unit of weight is kilogram (kg).
The factory default setting for the scales as supplied
is “kg”.
Slide the kg / lb / st switch to select the unit of
weight. The units will be displayed in the LC
display as follows:
Kilogram (kg): see Figure A
Pound (lb):
see Figure E
Stone (st): see Figure F
Switching on your scales /
measuring your weight
Tip: Weigh yourself at the same time of day
(preferably in the morning) after visiting the toilet,
with an empty stomach and without clothing to
ensure that your results are compatible.
Place the scales down on a solid, flat horizontal
surface.
Step on to the scales.
