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
Put the enclosed batteries in the battery compartment underneath the scale. Wait until the
scale shows “0.0”. Set the scale for kg, stones (st/lb) or pound (lb) or stones (st) by pressing
the round button located underneath the scale marked UNIT, until the display shows
requested unit. The scale is now activated and set.
The scale must be set before it is used for the first time, or if it has been moved. If the scale
is not set 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).
Directions 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.

should be equally distributed between both feet and with equal weight on the heel and

5. The scale always switches off automatically approximately 10 seconds after weighing,
ensuring a long battery lifetime.
