Battery change Indicator
When the batteries need replacing, the following will appear on the screen:
Please open the back board of the scales, then take the batteries carefully out of the battery compartment.
Please push the metal sheet outwards by your finger nails or a sharp instrument. The battery will pop out. Do
not bend the contacts back while you do this, or they may break. Dispose of the old batteries in a safe place. Do
not place on fire.
Care and Attention
•
Place
your scales on a hard, flat surface will ensure the greatest accuracy and repeatability.
• Always weigh yourself on the same scales placed on the same floor surface. Uneven floors may affect the
readings.
• Always weigh yourself without clothing or footwear, and before meals. The first thing in the morning is the
best time.
• Your scales round up or down to the nearest 100g/0.2Ib. If you weigh yourself twice and get two different
readings, your weight lies between the two readings.
• Clean your scale with a damp cloth but do not allow water to get inside the scales. Do not use any chemical
cleaning agents.
• Do not allow your scales to become saturated with water as this can damage the electronics.
• Do not store the scales in an upright position when not in use as this will drain the batteries.
• Remove the batteries if the scales are not going to be used for a long period of time.
• Treat your scales with care-it is a precision instrument, do not drop or jump up or down on them.
Disposal of old electrical appliances.
The European directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE),
requires that old household electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the normal
unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appliances must be collected separately in order to
optimize the recovery and recycling of the materials they contain, and reduce the impact on
human health and the environment.
The crossed out “wheeled bin” symbol on the product reminds you of your obligation, that
when you dispose of the appliance, it must be separately collected.
Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer for information concerning the correct disposal of
their old appliance.
