Precautions
1. Clean exposed parts with a soft, slightly damp cloth. To remove stains, use a mild
soap. Never use detergents, excess water, treated cloths, harsh cleaning agents,
or sprays. Do not attempt to lubricate or open scale casing as this will void your
warranty.
2. Although your scale is designed to be maintenance-free, it contains sensitive
electronic parts. Avoid rough treatment. Do not drop, kick, or jump on it. Treat
it with care to ensure the best performance.
3. This scale is designed to read weights between 11 and 400 lbs/5 and 180 kgs/
0 st 11 lbs and 28 st 8 lbs. To prevent damage, do not place more than 400 lbs/
180 kgs/28 st 8 lbs on it.
4. Do not store scale where you store cleaning chemicals. The vapors from some
household products may affect the electronic components of your scale. Do
not store scale on its side.
5. This scale is an extremely sensitive weighing device. In order to prevent run
down of the battery, do not store anything on the scale.
6. Do not dispose of batteries in fire. Batteries may explode or leak. Remove the
batteries if the scale will not be used for a long period of time.
Reaching Target Weight
Maintaining proper weight is essential to healthy living. Obesity has been linked
to a higher risk of heart disease, diabetes and some forms of cancer. The Body
Mass Index (BMI) is the most widely accepted measurement of weight according
to health professionals.
Use the chart below to determine your own BMI by matching your height in the
left hand column with your weight in the center. Anyone, male or female, with a BMI
of 25 to 29 is considered over weight and a body mass index of 30 is considered
obese. Remember to eat right and exercise.

In Case of Difficulty
1.Place your feet in the same position every time you weigh yourself. Stand still
during measurement.
2. Weigh yourself without clothing whenever possible. Clothes can vary in weight.
3. Move the scale to a location where it won't be bumped. If your scale is bumped
while being activated or while in use, an inaccurate reading mayoccur.
4. For the most consistent readings, Weigh yourself at the same time of day. Allow
for weight fluctuations due to food or drink in your system.
5. The maximum capacity of this scale is 400 lbs / 180 kgs /28 st 8 lbs. Should
"O_Ld" appear on the display during a weighing, this indicates that the maximum
weighing capacity of the scale has been exceeded. Remove the weight immediately;
otherwise, permanent damage may occur.
