2. Important notes – keep for later use!
caution: The scale may not be used by persons with medical
implants (e.g. pacemakers). Otherwise their function may be im-
paired.
caution – For your safety
– Do not use during pregnancy. Inaccurate measurements may be caused by the amniotic fluid.
– Attention! Do not step onto the scale with wet feet or when the scale's surface is damp–danger of slipping!
– You should protect the scale against impacts, moisture, dust, chemicals, major temperature fluctuations and keep
it away from heat sources (ovens, radiators).
– Repairs may only be performed by Beurer Customer Service or authorized dealers. However, always check the
batteries and replace them if necessary prior to making a complaint.
– All scales comply with EC Directive 89/336 + supplements. Should you still have questions regarding the use of
our products, please contact your dealer or Beurer Customer Service.
– The scale should occasionally be cleaned with a damp cloth. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents and never
submerge the scale.
– The device is only for private use and is not intended for medical or commercial purposes.
– The diagnostic scale can be preset for an age range of 10–100 years and heights of 100–220 cm (3' 03"–7' 03"). The
scale can accept a maximum load of 150 kg (330 lb, 24 St). The weight measurement is displayed in increments
of 100 g (0.2 lb, 1/6 St) angezeigt. The measuring results for the body fat, body water and muscle percentages
are displayed in 0.1% increments.
– On delivery the scale is set to the units "cm" and "kg". A switch located on the back of the scale enables you to
change to "inch", "pound" and "stones" (lb, St).

3. Operation

3.1 Batteries
If present, pull the battery insulating strip off the battery compartment cover or remove
the battery's protective film and insert the battery according to the polarity. If the scale
fails to operate, remove the battery completely and insert it again. Your scale is equipped
with a "replace battery" indicator. When the scale is operated with a battery which is
too weak, "Lo" appears in the display field and the scale automatically switches off. The
battery must be replaced in this case (1 x 3 V lithium battery CR2032). The used, completely
drained standard and rechargeable batteries must be disposed of in specially marked collection
containers, at toxic waste collection points or electrical product retailers. You are legally obligated
to dispose of the batteries.
Note: Batteries containing pollutants are marked with the following symbols: Pb = Battery con-
tains lead, Cd = Battery contains cadmium, Hg = Battery contains mercury.
Place the scale on a firm, flat surface; a firm floor covering is a basic requirement for correct
weight measurement.
3.2 Measuring weight only
Quickly and firmly tap the standing surface of your scale with your foot. The entire
display (Fig. 1) appears up to "0.0" (Fig. 2) as a self-test (tap-on technology).
Now the scale is ready to measure your weight. Stand on the scale without moving
about and distribute your weight evenly on both legs. The scale immediately begins
to measure your weight. The display "000" flickers until your weight has been
measured (Fig. 3). Your measured weight is displayed shortly after this (Fig 4). The
scale switches off a few seconds after you step down from it.
