6. Initial use

Inserting the batteries
Before using the baby scale, you must first insert two 1.5 V alkaline mignon AA batteries into the battery compartment of the baby scale.
Proceed as follows:

beurer Inserting the batteries

Open the battery compartment cover on the bottom of the baby scale.
Insert two 1.5 V alkaline mignon AA batteries into the battery compartment. Make sure that the batteries are inserted the right way round (+ /- ), as shown in the battery compartment.
Close the battery compartment cover until you hear and feel it click into place.

Product information
The batteries must be replaced when “ ” appears on the display.

Selecting the unit of weight
When supplied to the customer, the baby scale is set to weigh in kilograms “kg”. You can find the unit adjuster on the rear of the baby scale. You can use this to also change the unit of weight to pounds “lb” or ounces “oz”.

7. Usage

Place the baby scale on an even, hard surface; a hard surface is crucial for correct measurement.
Press the ON/OFF/TARE button to switch on the baby scale. As soon as “ kg” appears on the display, the baby scale is ready to take measurements.
Now place the baby on the weighing surface. Do this very carefully; do not let the baby fall and take particular care with the baby’s head.
This baby scale has a “HOLD” function (AUTO HOLD and MECHANICAL HOLD). The AUTO HOLD function establishes the baby’s weight on the display as soon as he/she is still enough to achieve an exact measured value. If the baby is moving around vigorously, his/her weight cannot be recorded. Therefore, try to calm the wriggling baby to achieve a rapid measurement, but do not touch the baby, as this will affect the weight measurement. As soon as the baby’s weight is established on the display, the word “HOLD” stops flashing and the weight is displayed for a further 20 seconds. The scale then switches off automatically.
If the baby is wriggling about too vigorously, you can select the MECHANICAL HOLD function by pressing the HOLD button. Within 3 seconds, the word “HOLD” stops flashing and the weight is displayed for a further 20 seconds.

TARE function
If you prefer not to place the baby directly onto the weighing surface, but instead onto a hand towel, for example, you must place the hand towel on the baby scale BEFORE switching it on. If the hand towel and other weights that you would like to remove again during weighing weigh more than 50 g, you can also use the TARE function. Once you have pressed the TARE button, “TARE” is shown in the display. To reset the scale to g, press the TARE button after “HOLD” has stopped flashing.

8. Cleaning and maintenance

The baby scale should be cleaned from time to time. This should be done using a damp cloth and, if necessary, a small amount of detergent.
IMPORTANT

Never use abrasive solvents or cleaning products!
Do not submerge the baby scale in water.
Do not rinse the baby scale under running water.
Do not clean the baby scale in the dish washer.

If you do not plan to use the baby scale for a long period of time, we recommend that you store it in the original packaging in a dry environment. During storage, do not place any objects on the baby scale. Store the baby scale away from children and pets. Remove the batteries from the baby scale.
