About scales
There are several types of scales:
The traditional mechanical scale that estimates the weight on the basis of spring action
– subsequently the weight can be read from a dial. The digital scale which is in fact also
a mechanical scale with the exception that weight measurements are read from a display.
The modern electronic scale which performs weighing by means of an electronic sensor
and converts the weight electronically for display reading. The advantage of the electronic
scale over the mechanical or digital scales is first and foremost that it performs far more
accurate weight measurements – and will continue to do so. The mechanical and digital
scales become increasingly inaccurate over time, partly due to worn springs in these
types of scales.
Please note that electronic scales are sensitive to major temperature swings. Inaccuracies
may occur if the scale is cold. The scale consequently works best at normal room
temperature.
Replacement and insertion of batteries
The scale requires 2 type AAA batteries which must be inserted before the scale is taken
into use.
Please allow the scale to adapt to normal room temperature before use.
To insert batteries remove the small door on the back of scale. The batteries can now
be inserted or replaced by placing them in the battery compartment so that the batteries
are firmly fixed – make sure that the batteries are inserted the right way. The door is
then re-attached. When battery replacement is required, “Lo” will appear on the display.
Mounting the scale on a wall
The scale is designed for wall mounting or mounting on any firm, vertical surface. The
