INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
FIRST USE
• This scale works with 4 disposable 1.5V AAA alkaline batteries.
• When used for the first time, remove the protective film from the batteries and insert them into the battery
compartment on the underside of the product.
• The central part of the platform lights up for a few seconds each time the sensor detects movement within
a 1.5-metre range.
UNIT SELECTION
T urn on the scale and step onto it, checking the unit of measurement shown on the display (kg, lb or st). T o
change the unit of measurement, step off the scale and press the button located on the underside of the scale.
USE
1) Place the scale on a flat, sturdy surface. An uneven or disjointed floor (e.g., rug, carpet, linoleum) may
compromise the accuracy of the reading.
2) With the scale off, step on with parallel feet and your weight equally distributed (see images).
Do not move until the scale has measured your weight. Do not lean on anything while the scale
measures your weight in order to avoid altering the readings. Do not step on the movement sensor
so as not to damage it.
3) Step off the scale. The display will continue to show the reading for a few seconds before automatically
turning off.
Each time the scale is moved and then returned to its resting surface, the first weight must not be considered
due to reorganization of the electronic board with the loading cells. Consider the second and successive
weights as in certain cases the first one could be altered for the reason mentioned above.
