INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
How To Operate
1. Remove all packaging materials.
2. Remove the isolator tab from the battery compartment – without opening
the battery cover at the bottom of the scale, gently pull out the isolator tab.
(In case the tab cannot be pulled out or if the display does not light up after
the tab is pulled, remove the screw from the battery cover and remove the
cover. Gently pull out the isolator tab. Ensure the battery is installed correctly.
Replace the battery cover and tighten the screw again.
3. For best accuracy, place scale on tile or hardwood floor, rather than uneven,
flexible or soft flooring (such as carpet).
4. Tap the scale quickly and sharply with your foot to turn it on.
The display will light up.
5. Wait until all digits light for several seconds and “0.0” appears.
6. Stand on platform without shifting or moving until weight is displayed (4–5
seconds). NOTE: Digital display automatically turns off after several seconds.
7. When scale display is on, set switch on the base of the scale for measuring in
pounds (lb) or kilograms (kg).
Helpful Hints
Your Thinner®scale is a precise measuring instrument that is most accurate
when weighing a stationary object. To ensure the most accurate readings
always try to stand on the same area of the scale platform and DO NOT MOVE.
Should the weight on the scale exceed the scale’s capacity, you may see an
error message ”Err”.
Electronic sensors are sensitive. Be careful not to drop or jar the scale. Place it
gently onto floor surface, and store where it will be protected from impact.
The scale is an electronic instrument and should never be submerged in water.
Clean with damp cloth only.
If battery is low and need to be replaced (“Lo” will appear on screen), remove
the screw from the battery cover on the bottom of the scale and remove the
cover. Replace the old battery with a new CR2032 battery. Clean the battery
contacts and also those of the device prior to battery installation. Ensure the
battery is installed correctly with regard to polarity, then replace the battery
cover and tighten the screw again. Remove used battery promptly. Properly
dispose of the old battery. Do not attempt to open the scale or to remove
any components. Servicing should be done by qualified technicians only.

THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT
MANAGING YOUR WEIGHT
Diet, exercise, and determination all play a part in effective weight
management. Your scale is the tool that lets you chart your progress and
measure your success, whether your goal is weight loss, weight gain, or
maintaining your current weight.
Because weight varies, as explained below, focus on the progression and
sustained long-term changes rather than on exact day-to-day readings.
When you’re dieting and exercising, small, fluctuating weight gains and
losses are common.
Common Causes of Weight Fluctuations (during the day,
and day-to-day)
• Water retention and weight gain from consumption of large meals
• Water retention from salt and carbohydrate intake
• Muscle buildup (muscle weighs more than fat) from strenuous
resistance training
• Weight loss caused by dehydration due to illness, low fluid intake
or strenuous exercise
• Temporary weight gains and losses from menstrual cycle
Weight Maintenance vs. Weight Loss/Gain
Get into the habit of weighing yourself no more than once a week when you’re
on a weight management program. Weighing in at consistent intervals will give
you the most accurate picture of your progress, eliminating many short-term,
unrelated weight changes.

Follow These Simple Rules
• Weigh yourself once a week.
• Weigh yourself on the same day of the week.
• Weigh yourself at the same time of day.
• Weigh yourself wearing the same clothes.
• Weigh yourself in the same place.
• Weigh yourself on the same scale.
Weight fluctuates more when a person is overweight or underweight. When the
goal is to maintain current weight, weighing yourself more than once a week is a
good way to stay on track.
Remember: A scale is an essential tool in any weight management program,
but it only records your progress. Exercise, diet and determination are what you
need to reach your goal.
WARNING :
1. KEEP BATTERIES OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN
2. Swallowing may lead to serious injury in as little as 2 hours or death,
due to chemical burns and potential perforation of the oesophagus.
3. If you suspect your child has swallowed or inserted a button battery,
immediately seek urgent medical assistance.
4. Examine devices and make sure the battery compartment is correctly
secured, e.g. that the screw or other mechanical fastener is tightened.
Do not use if compartment is not secure.
5. Dispose of used button batteries immediately and safely. Flat
batteries can still be dangerous.
6. Tell others about the risk associated with button batteries and how to
keep their children safe.
