Notes on handling batteries
• If your skin or eyes come into contact with battery fluid, rinse the affected areas with water and
seek medical assistance.

ies out of the reach of small children!

cloth.
• Protect the batteries from excessive heat.
• Risk of explosion! Do not throw batteries into a fire.
• Do not charge or short-circuit batteries.

General notes
• Please note that measuring tolerances are possible for technical reasons, as this scale is not cali-
brated for use in a professional medical context.
• Ages 10 to 99 years and height settings from 100 to 220 cm (3-03" to 7-03") can be preset.
• The scale's maximum capacity is 180 kg (396 lb / 28 st). The results for the weight measurement
and bone mass calculation are displayed in 100-g increments (0.2 lb).
• Measurements of body fat, body water and muscle content are displayed in increments of 0.1%.
• The calorie requirement is indicated in increments of 1 kcal.
• When supplied to the customer, the scale is set to weigh and measure in "kg" and "cm".
On the back of the scale, there is a toggle button where you can select „pounds" (lb) and „stones"
(st).
• Place the scale on an even, hard surface; a hard surface is crucial for achieving accurate meas-
urements.
• Repairs may only be carried out by Beurer Customer Services or authorised retailers. Before sub-
mitting a complaint, please check the batteries first and replace them if necessary.
