If provided, pull out the battery insulating strip at the battery compartment or remove the protective film
from the battery and insert the battery with the correct polarity. If the scale fails to operate, remove the
battery completely and reinsert it.
Your scale is provided with a “Change battery” indicator. If the scale is operating with a battery which is
too weak, “ Lo” appears on the display and the scale will switch off automatically. In this case, the battery
must be exchanged (3 x 1.5 V AAA batteries).

5.1 Weight measurement
Step briefly and forcefully on the weighing area of your scale.
The weight last measured appears until „ 0.0“ is shown. The scale is now ready to measure your weight.
Now step onto the scale. Stand still with your weight distributed equally on both legs. The scale begins to
take measurements straight away. If the measurement unit appears continuously, measurement has finished.
If you step off the weighing area, the scale switches off after a few seconds.
