1. Important notes – keep for later use!

1.1 Safety notes:

• the scales must not be used by persons with medical implants (e.g. heart pace-
makers). Otherwise their function could be impaired.
• Do not use during pregnancy.
• Caution! Do not stand on the scale with wet feet and do not step on the scale when its sur-
face is wet – danger of slipping!
• Batteries are highly dangerous if swallowed. Keep batteries and scale out of reach of small children. If batte-
ries are swallowed, get medical help immediately.
• Keep children away from packing materials (danger of suffocation).
• Batteries must not be charged or reactivated by other means, taken apart, thrown into a fire or short-circuited.

1.2 General notes:

• Not intended for medical or commercial use.
• Please note that measuring tolerances are possible due to technical reasons because the scale has not been
calibrated.
• Ages 10 ... 100 years and height settings from 100 ... 220 cm (3-03"–7-03") can be preset. Load capacity:
max. 150 kg (330 lb, 24 st). Result in steps of 100g (0.2 lb, 1/4 st). Measurements of body fat, body water and

• When supplied to the customer, the scale is set to weigh and measure in "kg" and "cm". To the rear of the
scales, there is a switch where you can select 'pound' and 'stone' (lb, st).
• Place the scale on a firm level floor; a firm floor covering is required for correct measurement.
• The scale should be cleaned occasionally with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive detergents and never im-
merse the scale in water.
• Protect the scale against hard knocks, moisture, dust, chemicals, major temperature fluctuations and heat
sources which are too close (stove, heating radiators).
• Repairs may only be carried out by customer service or authorized dealers. Before submitting any complaint,
first check the batteries and replace them if necessary.
• Please dispose of the blanket in accordance with the directive 2002/96/EG – WEEE (Waste Electrical
