5. Technical Specifications
Technical alterations reserved!
•
Place the scale on a flat, hard surface. Soft, uneven flooring
(e.g. rugs, carpets, linoleum) can cause the scale to give uneven
reading of your weight.
•
Step onto the scale with your feet parallel and weight equally
distributed.
•
Stand still while the scale measures your weight.
•
Always weigh yourself on the same scale each day at the same
time, preferably undressed and before breakfast. To get the
best results from your scale, weigh yourself twice, and if the
two weights are different from each other, your weight is
between the two readings.
•
The surface of the scale can be slippery, if wet.
1. Turn the scales on by pressing the centre of the platform.
2. Wait a few seconds and when «
0.0 »
2
appears on the display
screen, the scale is ready for use.
3. Step onto the scales and wait without moving; after a few
seconds, the display screen will show your weight
3
.
Do not lean on anything while being weighed as this could alter
the reading.
4. Step off the scales, the display screen will continue to show
your weight for a few seconds then it will turn off automati-
cally.
5. If the « ERR »
4
sign turns on, it means that an error has taken
place during the measurement. Start the entire procedure again
from the very beginning.
