2. Congratulations
In the seca 878 electronic personal scale
you have acquired a highly-accurate and
at the same time sturdy piece of equip-
ment.
seca has been putting its experience at
the service of health for over 150 years,
and as market leader in many countries of
the world, is always setting new standards
with its innovative weighing and measuring
developments.
The seca 878 electronic personal scale is
designed for private use and also for use in
public institutions.
A special feature of the
seca 878 scale is
the “mother-and-baby function”. This ena-
bles the weight of babies and small chil-
dren to be determined quite easily - in their
mothers’ arms.
The maximum load is 200 kg.
3. Safety
Before using the new scale, please take a little time to read the following safety
instructions.
• Follow the instructions in the instruc-
tions for use.
• Keep the operating manual and the
declaration of conformity contained
therein in a safe place.
• Use only the type of battery stated (see
„Changing the batteries“ on page 20).
• When using the scale with a mains unit,
ensure that the supply cable is routed in
such a way as to exclude any type of
tripping hazard.
• Do not drop the scale or subject it to
violent shocks.
• Do not step on the display as this could
damage it. Step only on the rubberized
area.
• Have repairs carried out only by author-
ised persons.
• Have scale serviced and re-calibrated
on a regular basis (see „Servicing/recal-
ibration“ on page 20).
