ADVICE FOR USE AND CARE Always weigh yourself on the same scale placed on
the same floor surface. Do not compare weight readings from one scale to another
as some dierences will exist due to manufacturing tolerances. • Placing your scale
on a hard, even floor will ensure the greatest accuracy and repeatability. • Weigh
yourself at the same time each day, before meals and without footwear. First thing in
the morning is a good time. • Your scale rounds up or down to the nearest increment.
If you weigh yourself twice and get two dierent readings, your weight lies between
the two. • Clean your scale with a damp cloth. Do not use chemical cleaning agents.
• Do not allow your scale to become saturated with water as this can damage the
electronics. • Treat your scale with care - it is a precision instrument. Do not drop it
or jump on it. • Caution: the platform may become slippery when wet.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE If you experience any diculty in the use of your scale:
• Check the battery is correctly fitted. • Check that you have selected your
preference of stones/pounds, kilograms or pounds. • Check that the scale is on a flat,
level floor and not touching against a wall. • Repeat the ‘Initialisation’ procedure
every time the scale is moved. • If when you use the scale there is no display at all
or if ‘Lo’ is displayed - try a new battery. • If ‘O-Ld’ is displayed the scale has been
overloaded.
