English 1. Congratulations!
In the seca 769 electronic personal scale,
you have purchased a high-precision yet
sturdy piece of equipment.
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 769 electronic personal scale is used
primarily in hospitals, doctors’ surgeries
and in-patient nursing facilities.
Weight is determined within a few sec-
onds.
In addition to the conventional determina-
tion of weight, the seca 769 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 scale is of a very sturdy construction
and will give you long and loyal service. It
is easy to operate and the large display is
easy to read.
The seca 769 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.
