4. Batteries

If provided, pull out the battery insulating strip at the battery compartment or remove the protective film
from the battery and insert the battery with the correct polarity. If the scale fails to operate, remove the
battery completely and reinsert it.
Your scale is provided with a "Change battery" indicator. If the scale is operating with a battery which is
too weak, "Lo" appears on the display and the scale will switch off automatically. In this case, the battery
must be exchanged (1 x 3 V lithium battery CR2032).

5. Operation

5.1 Measuring weight only

Step onto the scale. Stand still with your weight distributed equally on both feet. The scale begins to take
measurements straight away. If the display appears continuously, the measurement has finished.
If you step off the weighing area, the scale switches off after a few seconds.

personal settings.
