Battery Installation

1. Use 3 AAA batteries (included. Remove any plastic wrap from the batteries before
proceeding). Always replace all batteries at the same time; do not combine old and new
batteries. Do not mix Alkaline, carbon-zinc (standard) or Nickel-Cadmium (rechargeable)
batteries.

2. Remove the battery compartment cover on the bottom of the scale.

3. Place the batteries into the battery compartments according to the “+” and “-” polarity symbols
at the bottom of the compartment.

4. Replace the battery compartment cover.

5. Replace all the batteries if “LO“ is displayed and the scale says “Low Battery”, LCD readings

grow dim or irregular, or the voice quality distorts or becomes too soft to hear.

NOTE: Please recycle or dispose of batteries per local regulations.
WARNING: Batteries may pose a choking hazard. Do not let children handle batteries.

General Operation

1. Install 3 AAA batteries (please see “Battery Installation” section of this manual for battery
installation instructions). Also, some models have a static cling label on the lens to prevent
scratching. Please remove before use.

2. Select language of English, Spanish, German, Greek or Croatian by pressing the button on
the side of the scale. The scale will speak the corresponding language once the language is
selected. (Note: Pound units of measurement will be spoken in English. Spanish, German,
Greek and Croatian will be spoken in kilograms.)

3. Select a volume level of high, low or off by moving the volume dial slide switch on the side of
the scale. To turn the voice function off, turn the dial until it clicks off.

4. Place scale on flat, hard surface. Carpeted or uneven floors may affect accuracy.

5. Press firmly on the scale platform. The scale turns on, beeps and says "Ready for operation."
This process insures the scale is set and is now ready for use. Do this whenever the scale is
moved. At all other times step straight onto the scale.

6. Step onto the scale platform and remain still. The display will count up to your weight. The
display will flash twice when the weight is locked. Your weight is now displayed and you will
hear your weight.

7. When you step off of the scale, the scale will say “Ready for operation’ and automatically turn

off. If you continue to stand on the scale, the scale will beep twice and automatically turn off.
NOTE: If you've weighed yourself and the message “Err” is displayed with sound "Error”, simply

step off of the scale and repeat the weight measurement procedure while standing still. Your
weight cannot be locked-in if you do not stand still.

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.

Trouble Shooting

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 may occur.

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 440 lb / 200 kg. 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.
