Battery Information
This scale operates on 2 – 3 volt CR2032 lithium batteries (installed). There is a strip under the
lithium battery cover to prevent battery drain in shipping. Please remove the strip before
continuing with these instructions. (You may need to remove the battery compartment cover to
avoid breaking the strip.)
Replace the batteries when "Lo" appears on the display, or the readings grow dim or irregular.
To replace the batteries:
1. Use two - 3 volt CR2032 lithium batteries. Always replace all batteries at the same time; do
not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc) or rechargeable (ni-
cad, ni-mh, etc.) batteries.
2. Remove screw (or screws) from the battery compartment cover on the bottom of the scale
and remove the cover.
3. Remove the old batteries from the compartment.
4. Place the new batteries with the "+" sign up into the battery compartment.
5. Replace the battery compartment cover and screw(s).
NOTE: Please recycle or dispose of batteries per local regulations.
WARNING: Batteries may pose a choking hazard. As with all small items, do not let children
handle batteries. If swallowed, seek medical attention immediately.
PRECAUTION: Do not dispose of batteries in fire. Batteries may explode or leak. Remove the
batteries if the scale will not be used for a long period of time.
General Operation
1. This scale operates on 2 – 3 volt CR2032 lithium batteries (installed). Please see "Battery
Information" section of this manual for instructions. Also, some models have a static cling label
on the lens to prevent scratching. Please remove before use.
2. Your scale has been set at the factory to read weight in pounds. You may select kilograms or
stone units of measurement (1 stone = 14 pounds) by moving the slide switch on the bottom of
the scale.
3. Place scale on flat, hard surface. Carpeted or uneven floors may affect accuracy.
4. Step on the scale (disregarding the reading) and step off. This process insures the scale is
set and is now ready for use. Do this whenever the scale is moved or batteries are replaced. At
all other times step straight onto the scale.
5. Step onto the scale platform and remain still. The display will count up to your weight. The
display will flash three times when the weight is locked. Your weight is now displayed.
6. The scale will turn off automatically.
