OBH Nordica Personal scale
Before use
Before the personal scale is taken into use for the first time, please read this instruction manual thoroughly
and keep it for future use.
Please note that all electronic equipment are sensitive, including electronic scales. This means that various
conditions may influence weighing, e.g. temperature swings and moving the around. Inaccuracies may
occur if the scale is cold. The scale consequently functions most accurately at normal room temperature.
It is important that the scale is allowed to ‘acclimatize’ for 24 hours before it is used for the first time.
Electronic noise from other units such as mobile phones, small transmitters, and certain microwave
ovens may influence weighing.
Important
Before use set the scale for kg, stones (ST) or British pounds (lb) by pressing the round button located
under the scale marked kg/st/lb, until the display shows requested unit. The scale is now activated and
set.
Similarly, the scale must be reset before it is used for the first time, or if it has been moved. If the scale is
not reset according to the instructions above, weighing errors will almost definitely occur.
The scale has a maximum tolerance of approximately 1%, i.e. if a person weighs 70 kg the displayed
weight may fall between 60.3 and 70.7. E.g. if you weigh 70.75 kg, the scale will read either 70.7 or 70.8
kg (with 1% tolerance).
Tips before weighing
It is important to stand completely still during weighing as even the slightest body movements may cause
considerable deviations from the actual weight. Also keep in mind that the scale is influenced by the
clothes you wear, if you wear shoes, if you have just finished a meal, etc. If you wish to keep an eye on
your weight over a longer period of time, weighing should be performed under comparable conditions
every day, preferably without clothes and without moving the scale around between weighings.
How to use the scale
1.
Place the scale on a plain, firm surface.
2.
Reset the scale if this has not already been done. See above instructions.
3.
Let the scale switch off automatically.
4.
Step onto the scale (stand with your feet in the same place each time). Your weight should be
equally distributed between both feet and with equal weight on the heel and the front of the foot.
Remember to stand completely still! The weight can now be read from the display.
Warning! Do
not stand on the scale with wet feet.
5.
The scale always switches off automatically approximately 10 seconds after weighing, ensuring a
long battery lifetime.
If the scale is overloaded (150 kg maximum), ‘- - - -’ will appear on the display.
IMPORTANT:
In order to obtain the most accurate result, the following guidelines should be followed:
•
Place the scale on a completely plain, firm, and horizontal floor surface.
•
Stand completely still.
•
Stand with your feet in the same place each time.
•
Make sure that your weight is equally distributed between both legs and between the heel and the
front of the foot.
Battery
The scale is delivered with 4 pcs AAA batteries that should be installed before you use the scale. Open
and remove the battery compartment lids underneath the scale. Place two batteries in each compartment
and put the lids back in place. When batteries needs to be replaced ”Lo” will appear on the display.
