English
WARNING against risk of injury
Do not step onto the outer edge of any one side of the scales. Risk of tipping!
Do not step onto the scales with wet feet or when its surface is damp. Risk of
slipping!
If the scales fall and shatter, there is a risk of injury from glass splinters.
BEWARE of material damage
Do not submerge the scales in water or other liquids.
Place the scales on a stable, even surface.
Do not overload the scales. Pay attention to the “Technical Data”. Place objects on
the scales exclusively for the purpose of weighing.
Protect the scales from sharp jolts and vibrations.
Remove the batteries from the scales if they have been used up or if you are not
going to use the scales for a long time. You will thus avoid damage that may result
from the leakage of battery acid.
When inserting and changing batteries, pay attention to the correct polarity (+/-).
Do not subject the batteries to extreme conditions by, for example, storing them
on heaters or under direct sunlight. Increased risk of leakage!
Clean the battery and device contacts, as needed, before inserting the battery.
Only insert batteries of the same type; do not use different types or used and new
batteries with each other.
Do not make any modifications to the scales. Only allow repairs to be carried out
at a specialist workshop. Repairs carried out incorrectly can considerably endanger
the user.
Do not place the scales in the vicinity of devices that emit electromagnetic
radiation, such as mobile phones, wireless devices, and the like. This can lead to
incorrect display indicators or malfunctions.
Do not place any objects on the scales when you are – for example – storing them
in a cupboard. The sensitive measuring electronics in the scales could be damaged
by heavy objects.
There are feet on the underside of the scales. Since surfaces are made from various
materials and are treated with diverse care products, the possibility cannot be
completely excluded that some of these substances contain ingredients that
attack and soften the feet of the device. If necessary, place an anti-slip underlay
beneath the scales.
