Safety Information
Please observe the following safety precautions to ensure safe and effective use of your scale:
- Always place the scale on a firm, flat surface. Avoid carpets or uneven flooring, as this may affect accuracy.
- The glass platform can be slippery when wet. Ensure the surface is dry before stepping on.
- Do not jump on the scale. Step on and off gently.
- Do not immerse the scale in water or use abrasive cleaning agents.
- This scale is designed for domestic use only. It is not intended for medical or commercial purposes.
- Keep out of reach of children.
- The product packaging may contain information different from that shown on our website. Please always read the label, warnings, and instructions provided with the product before use or consumption.
Setup
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the scale from its packaging.
- Battery Installation: Locate the battery compartment on the underside of the scale. Insert the required batteries (usually AAA or CR2032, check the compartment for specific type) ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
- Initial Calibration: After installing batteries, place the scale on a hard, flat surface. Press down firmly on the platform with your foot to activate it, then remove your foot. The display should show "0.0" or similar, indicating it's ready for use.
Operating Instructions
Taking a Weight Measurement:
- Ensure the scale is on a firm, flat surface.
- Gently step onto the scale with bare feet, ensuring your feet are positioned over the metal electrodes (if present for body analysis).
- Stand still and wait for your weight reading to stabilize on the display.
- The scale will typically hold the reading for a few seconds before automatically turning off.
Switching Weight Units:
Most Salter scales allow you to switch between metric (kg) and imperial (lb/st) units. Look for a button on the underside of the scale, often labeled "UNIT" or "kg/lb". Press this button to cycle through the available units.
Body Analysis Function
The Salter 9115 scale offers advanced body analysis features. To utilize these functions, you will typically need to set up a user profile with your age, gender, and height. Refer to the specific instructions included with your scale for detailed profile setup and measurement procedures.
Common body analysis measurements include:
- Body Fat Percentage: The proportion of fat in your body.
- Body Water Percentage: The proportion of water in your body.
- Muscle Mass: The total weight of muscle in your body.
- BMI (Body Mass Index): A measure that uses your height and weight to work out if your weight is healthy.
For accurate body analysis readings, always step on the scale with bare feet and ensure good contact with the electrodes.
Maintenance and Care
- Cleaning: Wipe the scale surface with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the scale in water.
- Storage: Store the scale in a cool, dry place. Avoid extreme temperatures or direct sunlight.
- Battery Replacement: If the display shows "Lo" or becomes dim, replace the batteries immediately. Remove batteries if the scale will not be used for an extended period.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| "Lo" or "Err" on display | Low battery or overload. | Replace batteries. Ensure weight does not exceed maximum capacity (180 kg). |
