first check the batteries and replace them if necessary.

2. Operation

2.1 Batteries

If present, pull the battery insulating strip off the battery compartment cover or remove the battery's protective film and
insert the battery according to the polarity. If the scale fails to operate, remove the battery completely and insert it again.
Your scale is equipped with a "replace battery" indicator. When the scale is operated with a battery which is too weak,
"Lo" appears in the display field and the scale automatically switches off. In this case the batteries must be replaced
(1 x 3 V lithium battery CR2032).

2.2 Measuring weight only

Step briefly and forcefully on the weighing area of your scale.
The entire display is shown (Fig. 1) until "0.0" (Fig. 2) is displayed.
Stand on the scale without moving about and distribute your weight evenly on both legs. The scale immediately
begins to measure your weight. Your measured weight is displayed shortly after this (Fig 3). The scale switches off
a few seconds after you step down from it.
