• Do not put spent batteries in a rubbish bin, but in special containers for spent batteries.
• Do not recharge batteries not designed for that purpose (non-rechargeable batteries).
• Do not recharge batteries not designed for that purpose (non-recharge-able batteries).
• Never expose batteries to direct heat sources, such as excessive sun-light, heaters or fire.
• Explosion hazard! Batteries must not be dismantled, put into fire or short-circuited.
• When the device is not in use, always remove the batteries. This will prevent damage to the device in the event that electrolyte leaks from the batteries.

• Weighing
  Place the scale on a level, stable and dry surface. In order to ensure a correct reading, do not place the scale on a rug/ carpet. An uneven surface can affect result accuracy. CAUTION! Do not stand on the scale with wet feet. Always stand on the scale with bare, dry feet (take off your shoes and socks).
  Step on the scale with both feet. The scale will switch on automatically. Wait for the measurement. The digits will start flashing before the final result of weighing is displayed. CAUTION! It is recommended that you stand still during weighing.

The scale will turn off automatically if idle for approximately 30 seconds.

Changing the weight units
After switching on the scale you can change the weight unit using the “up” button under the display screen. Each press of the button toggles the unit of weight between kg (kilograms), lb (pounds) or st (stones). When you change the weight unit, the unit of measurement changes automatically (if kg, then cm; if pounds or stones, then inches and feet)

Entering user settings
After switching the scale on, you can enter individual user parameters such as sex, age and height. For this purpose:

• Turn the scale on by touching the “SET” button.
• Press the “SET” button, then select the required parameters by pressing “up” or “down”, confirming each selection with another press of the “SET” button.
• The parameters are displayed in the following order:
  • User 1, 2, 3 and so forth up to a maximum of 10 users.
  • Sex
  • Body composition type
  • Age
  • Planned weight – target
  • Height
  • Unit of measure selection (kg=cm; lb/St=ft:in)
• To access individual user data, press the “SET” button and select the appropriate pro-file from those flashing on the display.
• Now you may step onto the scale. Remember to keep the scale on an even surface and to step with bare feet on the metal sensors.
• Stay still for a moment. The scale is performing calculations, which is indicated by the subsequently displayed square symbols.
• After the scale completes the calculations, the display will show the data below twice, in the following order:
