First Use of the Machine
Battery Compartment (on the back of the scales)
NOTE:
The battery in the battery compartment has been secured for
transport with a foil. This prolongs the life of the battery.
Please remove this foil to prepare the scales for initial use.
Use
•
The balance was designed to indicate precisely the increase
in or the loss of weight.
•
Position the balance on a hard, flat surface (avoid carpets).
Uneven floors lead to imprecise readings.
•
Switch on the scales by pressing lightly with your foot or
toes on the glass surface.
•
The scales and the display perform a self-test (8....). Shortly
afterwards the value „0,0" (kg) (0,0 lb., 0: 0 st) appears.
NOTE:
On the back of the scales (next to the battery compartment)
there is a small button. Push this button while the device is
switched on to switch between the settings „kg", „lb" and „st".
•
Step on the balance. Distribute your weight equally on the
balance and wait for the balance to calculate your weight.
•
At first the display flashes and then your exact weight is
shown.
•
When you have got down from the scales they switch off
automatically after 10 seconds in order to prolong battery
life.
NOTE:
•
If the letters „EEEE" appear, the weight is above 150 kg.
•
If the „EEEE" symbol cannot be deleted, remove the
battery for approximately 10 seconds from the battery
compartment.
•
If „0.0" (kg) (0.0 lb., 0: 0 st) appears during weighing,
you stood on the glass surface too quickly. The self-test
had not finished. The display goes off.
Battery change
The battery is a long-life lithium cell. If the letters "LO" appear
in the display this means that the batteries need replacing as
follows:
•
Open the battery compartment on the back of the scales.
Slide the battery compartment cover in the direction indi-
cated by the arrow.
•
Replace the battery with a cell of the same type „CR 2032".
Please ensure the correct polarity (You will find notes about
this on the battery compartment).
•
Close the lid of the battery compartment.
•
Remove the batterie if the scales are not going to be used
for a prolonged period.
