4. Batteries
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 x1.5 V, AAA, Mikro).
5. Operation
5.1 Weight measurement
Press quickly and forcefully with your foot on the platform of your scale. As a self-test, the complete dis-
play will appear up to “ 0.0”.
The scale is now ready to measure your weight. Step on the scale and stand still with your weight distri-
buted evenly on both legs. The scale will start measuring your weight immediately and a short time later
will display your weight.
When you step off the scale, the scale will switch off after a few seconds.
5.2 Setting user data
To measure your body fat percentage and other physical data, you must enter your personal user parameters.
The scale has 10 memory positions in which you and other members of your family can save and recall
personal settings.
Switch on the scale by briefly stepping on the platform. Wait until the display shows “
0.0”.
Then press “SET”. The first memory position will appear flashing on the display. Now you can enter the fol-
lowing settings:
Memory position 1 to 10
Body size 100 to 220 cm (3‘-03“ to 7‘-03“)

Sex male ( ), female ( )
Degree of activity 1 to 5
You can enter the relevant settings with short or long pressure on the up button or down button .
Confirm the settings in each case by pressing “SET”.
The values stored in this way are then shown again consecutively, after which the scale switches off auto-
matically.
