quired for correct measurement. Press quickly and forcefully with your foot

technology).
Now the scale is ready to measure your weight.

legs. The scale immediately begins to measure your weight (Fig. 3).
The scale switches off 10 seconds after you step down from it. The measuring re-
sult remains visible during this time.
