About scales

There are several types of scales:

The traditional mechanical scale that estimates the weight on the basis of spring action

– subsequently the weight can be read from a dial. The digital scale which is in fact also

a mechanical scale with the exception that weight measurements are read from a display.

The modern electronic scale which performs weighing by means of an electronic sensor

and converts the weight electronically for display reading. The advantage of the electronic

scale over the mechanical or digital scales is first and foremost that it performs far more

accurate weight measurements – and will continue to do so. The mechanical and digital

scales become increasingly inaccurate over time, partly due to worn springs in these

types of scales.

Please note that electronic scales are sensitive to major temperature swings. Inaccuracies

may occur if the scale is cold. The scale consequently works best at normal room

temperature.

Replacement and insertion of batteries

The scale requires 2 type AAA batteries which must be inserted before the scale is taken

into use.

Please allow the scale to adapt to normal room temperature before use.

To insert batteries remove the small door on the back of scale. The batteries can now

be inserted or replaced by placing them in the battery compartment so that the batteries

are firmly fixed – make sure that the batteries are inserted the right way. The door is

then re-attached. When battery replacement is required, “Lo” will appear on the display.

Mounting the scale on a wall

The scale is designed for wall mounting or mounting on any firm, vertical surface. The
