Always place Vivienne on a horizontal, stable and non-slippery surface.
Use adequate dishes for weighing solids or liquids.
4.1: ON/OFF
To switch the device on, press the ON/OFF key (round button on the left
hand corner). You will hear the announcement: „ready“. To turn the device
off, press and hold the ON/OFF key until you hear a melody confirming the
shutdown of the device.
4.2: Weighing
Place the weighing sample in the center of the weighing plate. Once the
value is no longer changing, the weight is shown on the large display and
announced in a clear, natural voice.
4.3: Menu
Press and hold key 5 (second row, middle key – marked with a tactile dot)
to enter the menu. You can now select one of the following setting options,
by pressing either the minus- or the plus-key:
time
date
timer
To confirm one of these functions press the ON/OFF key. To enter one of
the settings offered, press and hold the ON/OFF key. To leave menu
simultaneously press key 4 and 6 (second row, right and left key).
4.4: Tare Weight Function
You can set the scale to zero at any point of the weighing process. To do
so press the ON/OFF key after the weight has been announced. Vivienne
will say: “tare” and the value shown on the display will be set to zero. The
scale is now ready for a new weighing process. The tare weight function is
extremely useful if you like to weigh things in a container. You can put the
dish on the weighing plate, set the value to zero and start adding weight.
You may repeat this process until a maximum load capacity of 5 kg.
4.5: Volume
Use the plus and minus keys to set the volume. These two keys are located
in the forth row of keys next to the round ON/OFF key. Use the left key to
decrease and the right key to increase the volume of the speech output.
Vivienne offers 6 volume levels and will announce the current volume level.
