1. Congratulations!
www.balances.com Your Authorized Seca Dealer
In the seca 882/seca pragma 883 electronic personal scale you have purchased
a highly-accurate piece of equipment
which is also sturdy, easy to look after and
space-saving.
seca has been putting its experience at
the service of health for over 150 years,
and as market leader in many countries of
the world, is always setting new standards
with its innovative weighing and measuring
developments.
A patented system allows seca electronic
personal scales to determine weight more
accurately than ever before. They have a
number of supplementary functions in
addition to the conventional determination
of weight.
For example, by taking height into account, they can help determine and
achieve your personal ideal weight and
check how close you are to your target
weight.
For use in orthopaedics, limit values can
be set for strain. An acoustic signal provides warning of excessive strain.
The Pre-Tare function automatically deducts an additional weight and displays
the result.
2. Safety
Before using the new scale, please take a little time to read the following safety instructions.
• seca 882/seca pragma 883 electronic
personal scales are designed for private
use and for use in public institutions.
• Follow the instructions in the instructions for use.
• Use only the type of battery stated (see
„Changing the batteries“ on Page 32).
• Do not drop the scale or subject it to
violent shocks.
• Route the cable between the weighing
platform and the housing so that there
is no risk of people tripping over it.
• Ensure that the cable is not crushed
and does not come into contact with
hot objects.
• Have repairs carried out only by authorised persons.

Information about weighing
• Ideally weigh yourself daily, always at
the same time and wearing similar
clothes (e.g. when you get up in the
morning).
• Make a note of your weight for several
days running (e.g. a week).
• At the end of the week, add all the
weights together and divide the total by
the number of days.
Calculating your average weight over
several days takes account of normal
weight fluctuations. These fluctuations
arise as a result of the accumulation or
loss of water, e.g. after sport. They do
not represent true weight loss or gain.
Calculating a weekly average weight
evens out these fluctuations.
St0P ap-
Example:
Sunday: 88,0 kg
Monday: 87,8 kg
Tuesday: 88,2 kg
Wednesday: 88,2 kg
Thursday: 88,6 kg
Friday: 88,4 kg
Saturday: 88,2 kg
617,4 kg
617,4 kg : 7 = 88,2 kg average weight
