Preparing For Use; Inserting The Battery; Switching On Your Scales / Measuring Your Weight - Silvercrest Z30965 Bedienungs- Und Sicherheitshinweise

CAUTION! The scale bears a danger of stum-
bling and hence it should be stored in a way
which prevents this danger.
Dangers arising from the
use of batteries
DANGER TO LIFE! Batteries
are not intended to be in the hands of children.
Do not leave batteries lying around. They
could be swallowed by children or pets. In the
event of swallowing a battery, contact a doctor
immediately.
Avoid extreme environmental conditions and
temperatures as they may affect batteries e.g.
above radiators. Otherwise the batteries are
more likely to leak.
Exhausted or damaged batteries can cause
caustic burns upon contact with the skin. To
avoid this, always wear suitable protective
gloves in these circumstances!
Avoid contact with the skin, eyes and mucous
membranes if fluid is leaking from a battery. If
you come into contact with corrosive battery
fluids, flush the affected area thoroughly with
clean water and contact a doctor immediately.
Remove the battery if you are not going to use
the device for an extended period.
When inserting the battery, ensure the correct
polarity! This is shown in the battery compart-
ment.
Remove a spent battery immediately from the
device. There is an increased danger of leaks!
Batteries must not be disposed of in the normal
domestic waste!
Every consumer is legally obliged to dispose of
batteries in the proper manner!
Keep batteries away from children; do not
throw batteries in the fire, short-circuit batteries
or take them apart.
If the above instructions are not complied with,
the battery may discharge itself beyond its end
voltage. There is then a danger of leaking. If
the battery has leaked inside your device, you
should remove it immediately in order to
prevent damage to the device!

Inserting the battery

To insert the battery, proceed as shown in Fig. A.
Note: The display indicates when it is time to
replace the battery. When you step on to the
scales and the battery is too weak, the LC dis-
play shows "Lo" (see Fig. E) and the scales

Setting the units of weight
(Fig. F)
Note: the standard unit of weight is kilogram (kg).
The factory default setting for the scales as supplied
is "kg".
Move the switch to the following positions
5
to choose between the different units of weight:
Position kg "kilogram" or position lb "pound" (see

Switching on your
scales / measuring your weight
Place the scales down on a solid, flat horizontal
surface.
Step on to the scales.
The scales will start measuring immediately.
Note: If the scales show "C" after you step off
the platform (see Fig. H), this indicates a
2
weighing error. Repeat the process.
Note: If the scales show "–Err" (see Fig. G), it
signals that the scales are overloaded. Observe
the maximum capacity of 200 kg / 440 lbs.
Step off the platform
automatically after about 15 seconds. Until
then the weight measurement remains visible.
