8. Getting started
8.1 Switching on the scales / measuring weight
Due to the step on power function, the diagnostic scales are switched on automatically when you
step on the tread (5) and they start to measure your weight immediately.
In their original state, the diagnostic scales are set to the "kg" (11) unit of weight. Once the selected
unit of weight is displayed, press the buttons ▲ (2) or ▼ (4) to change it. The selected unit of weight
is then indicated on the display (1).
Stand on the tread (5) of the diagnostic scales so that your weight is evenly distributed. Remain as
still as possible during the weighing process as the measurement result may be distorted otherwise.
The measurement result is indicated on the display (1) during the weighing process. The measurement
is complete when the display flashes.
A solid surface is required to measure weight correctly. Thus always place the
diagnostic scales on a solid, horizontal floor covering and never on carpet.
This can distort the measurement result.
To obtain comparable measurement results, you should always weigh yourself
if possible at the same time of day (preferably in the morning). Always weigh
yourself if possible under the same conditions: on an empty stomach, after
having gone to the toilet and naked.
Please note that values for the stone unit of weight are not represented as
decimal values. The display is divided into two segments by a colon. Only
whole numbers are displayed in the "st" unit of weight to the left of the colon.
The remaining weight is displayed in the "lb" unit of weight to the right of the
colon.
Example: "6:8.2 st:lb" is shown on the display. This corresponds to 6 st and
8,2 lb.
The diagnostic scales must be calibrated before first use or after having been
moved to ensure that they can determine one's weight exactly. To do so, step
briefly on to the tread (5), step off it again and wait until the diagnostic scales
switch off automatically. The diagnostic scales are now calibrated.
