English 1. Congratulations!
By purchasing the seca 899 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 899 electronic personal scale is
used primarily in hospitals, doctors’ sur -
geries and mobile services. The scales are
a Class I medical product, and have been
calibrated in accordance with the preci -
sion class III.
In addition to the conventional determina -
tion of weight, the seca 899 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.
Its low power consumption means that with
a set of batteries, the seca 899 can be
used on a mobile basis for long periods.
