On the back of the scales there is a small button. Push this
button while the device is switched on to switch between the
settings „kg“, „lb“ and „st“.
• Step on the balance. Distribute your weight equally on the
balance and wait for the balance to calculate your weight.
• At rst the display ashes and then your exact weight is
shown.
• When you have got down from the scales they switch off
automatically after 5 seconds in order to prolong battery life.
NOTE:
• If the letters „EEEE“ appear, the weight is above 150 kg.
• If 0.0 kg (0.0 lb., 0: 0 st) appears while you are weighing

soon. The self-test had not nished. The display goes off.
