age to his/her property.
PRECAUTIONS
•
Using the excess weight analysis function is
TOTALLY contraindicated to pregnant women.
•
Using the excess weight analysis function is
TOTALLY contraindicated to people using pace-
makers and other medical devices with built-in
batteries.
•
Handle your scale with care, as it is a precision
instrument, do not subject the scale to high or low
temperatures, high humidity, avoid direct sunlight
and do not drop the unit.
•
Use the scale away from heating units.
•
Avoid getting of liquids into the scale body and the
remote receiver, this appliance is not waterproof. Do
not leave or use the scale and the remote receiver in
a room with high humidity (above 80%), make sure
that the scale body and the remote receiver do not
come into contact with water or other liquids, as this
may cause failure of scale indication or its damage.
•
Place the scale on a flat, dry and non-slip surface.
•
To increase the indication precision do not use the
scale on carpets or rugs.
•
Do not step on the scale with wet feet or if the scale
surface is damp. You can slip and get injured.
•
Be careful while stepping on the scale: step on the
scale first with one foot; make sure that the scale is
steady and then step on it with both feet.
•
Step on the scale and dispose your weight evenly.
Stand still while weighing. Do not jump on the scale.
•
If you are not planning to use the scale for a long
time, remove the battery from the scale battery
compartment and the remote receiver.
•
Strictly follow the polarity according to the markings
when installing batteries.
•
Replace the batteries in time.
•
Never allow children to use the scale as a toy.
•
For children safety reasons do not leave polyethyl-
ene bags, used as a packaging, unattended.
•
Attention! Do not allow children to play with poly-
ethylene bags or packaging film. Danger of suf-
focation!
•
This unit is not intended for usage by children or
disabled persons unless they are given all the nec-
essary and understandable instructions by a person
who is responsible for their safety on safety mea-
sures and information about consequences that can

centers for maintenance and repair.
THE UNIT IS INTENDED FOR HOUSEHOLD USAGE ONLY
WHAT IS EXCESS WEIGHT?
It is generally known that excessive body weight can
negatively affect the health. Excess weight can cause
obesity, heart problems, atherosclerosis and osteo-
porosis; short weight may also lead to osteoporosis.
(Osteoporosis is a systemic skeleton disease charac-
terized by reduction of bone mass per unit volume and
impairment of bone tissue micro-architectonics and
leading to increased bone fragility and risk of fracture
by minimal trauma or even without it).
Physical exercises and a moderate diet help to lose
excess weight and this scale helps to control your
weight.
It is known that at low weight muscles and tissues of the
body contain more water than fat, and electric current
passes through water better than though fat. Sending
weak current through the body, the scale quickly and
easily calculates the percentage of fat and water in a
human body. You can control your weight basing on the
results of calculation of fat and water percentage.
BEFORE THE FIRST USE
After unit transportation or storage at low tempera-
ture it is necessary to keep it for at least two hours
at room temperature before switching on.
•
If there is a protective film on the scale surface,
remove it.
•
Wipe the scale and the remote receiver body with
a soft, slightly damp cloth and then wipe them dry.
BATTERY INSTALLATION
Scale
•
Remove the lid, insert a CR2032 battery (supplied
with the unit), strictly following the polarity (pic. 1).
