The ADE-display unit corresponds to the latest state of the art technology and complies with standard
regulations and directives. Kindly follow the safety instructions in this operating manual, the country-
specific installation standards as well as the applicable safety conditions and accident prevention
regulations in all aspects.
 Operate the scale only with the original ADE mains adapter.
 Always connect the mains adapter to the scale BEFORE connecting it to the electrical outlet.
 Disconnect from the electrical outlet BEFORE disconnecting the adapter from the scale.
 In case the mains adapter became wet or show visible damages the scale can no longer be
operated by using this mains adapter. In this case please contact your local dealer or service
partner.
 The voltage and power supply as mentioned on the type plate must match the mains voltage
and power type at the place of use.
 When using the scale with a mains unit ensure that the supply cable is routed in such a way
as to exclude any type of potential trip hazard.
 Remove the mains plug before cleaning the unit.
 Do not operate the unit in hazardous or unstable conditions.
 Set up the unit as far away as possible from equipment that generates electromagnetic or
other interference. Portable and mobile HF-communication systems may influence electronic
medical devices.
 All actions and operations described in this operation manual may only be carried out by
professional personnel authorized by ADE or official appointed dealers.
Assembly and set up
The ADE chair scale is already been delivered in a fully assembled condition. Please insure that your
scale is being placed free of any vibration and at a dry place.
Alignment of the scale
1) Place the chair scale on a plain, dry and level surface before weighing.
) The air bubble in the spirit level should be right in the centre of the circle.
4) Please ensure that the scale has no other contact to the floor than by the four wheels after the
patient has been seated onto the chair scale.
Power supply
Power is supplied either by the rechargeable battery in the display unit or by the mains power via the
supplied power unit. The rechargeable battery pack is consisting of 4xAA NIMH rechargeable
batteries.
Use the AC adapter to load the rechargeable batteries. The imprinted voltage value at the mains
adapter must match the local mains voltage. When the battery is being charged for the first time a
sufficient charging period of approx. 24 hours is necessary to achieve a full battery load.
The wall socket must be located near to the unit and be easily accessible. Please use only the mains
adapter supplied by ADE. The mains adapter is charging the battery pack at the same time.

 The patient is slightly overweighed to pre-obese. A reduction of weight is indicated or, is
necessary if the state of health is already affected (e.g. diabetes, high end blood pressure,
heart diseases).
BMI over 0
 Reduction of weight is imperative. To visit a doctor is highly recommended.
