English 1. Congratulations!
By purchasing the seca 703 electronic
personal scale, you have acquired a high-
ly-accurate and sturdy piece of equip-
ment.
seca has been putting its experience at
the service of health for over 150 years
now, and as market leader in many coun-
tries of the world, is always setting new
standards with its innovative develop-
ments for weighing and measuring.
In accordance with national regulations, the
seca 703 electronic personal scale is used
primarily in hospitals, doctors’ surgeries
and in-patient nursing facilities.
The weight display can be switched be-
tween kilogrammes (kg), pounds (lbs) and
stones (sts). Weight is determined within a
few seconds.
In addition to the conventional determina-
tion of weight, the seca 703 also has a
function for determining body mass index.
For this purpose, height is entered on the
keypad and the body mass index associ-
ated with the weight value is output.
The seca 703 can be moved on castors,
and its low power consumption means
that it can be used on a mobile basis with
batteries for long periods.
