Before use
Please note that since the scale is electronic, its functionality may be
affected by temperature fluctuations or by you moving the scale. It is
therefore recommended that you place the scale somewhere at normal room
temperature and allow it to acclimatise for approximately 24 hours before
using it for the first time. Its functionality may also be affected by other
electronic equipment, such as mobile phones, transmitters and microwave
ovens.
Setting the weight unit
Switch the scale on by pressing the button in the centre of the scale. Then
set your preferred weight unit to kg or UK pounds (lb) by pressing the round
button marked UNIT underneath the scale until the display shows the weight
unit you want.
The scale has a maximum tolerance of approximately 0.7%, i.e. if you weigh
70 kg, the weight displayed may be between 69.5 and 70.5. The scale also
displays weight in 100 g increments. That means that if you weigh 70.75 kg,
the scale will show either 70.7 or 70.8 kg (with 0.7% tolerance).
Tips before weighing
When weighing yourself, you must stand completely still on the scale, as the
slightest movement can result in significant variation from the actual weight.
Over the course of a day, your body weight can vary, depending on whether or
not you are wearing clothes and shoes, or whether you have eaten, etc. What
is important is the weight trend over a period of e.g. 14 days or a month, rather
than minor variations over a single day or from one day to another.
