3. Setup

3.1 Battery Installation

4. Close the battery compartment cover securely.

3.2 Initial Placement and Calibration

• Place the scale on a hard, flat, and non-slip surface, such as tiles or parquet flooring. Avoid carpets or uneven surfaces, as these can distort measurements.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 How to Weigh Correctly

Achieving accurate weight measurements requires attention to a few key factors. The Soehnle brand emphasizes precise measurement, and observing the following notes will help ensure reliable results:

• Is the scale calibrated correctly?

  If the scale is moved or lifted before taking a measurement, the zero setting may be incorrect. This can lead to the scale's own weight being included in the measurement, distorting the result by approximately 1-2 kg.

  Tip:

  Do not move the scale immediately before weighing yourself. Wait until the device is switched on and displays "0" before stepping on.

• Is the right surface selected?

  Uneven surfaces, such as carpets, can distort the measurement result and cause weighing errors.

  Tip:

  Place your scale on a surface that is as even and non-slip as possible, for example, tiles or a parquet wood floor, to avoid influencing the result.

• Have you measured your weight under the same conditions?

  Body weight can fluctuate by one or two kilograms throughout the day.

  Tip:

  Always weigh yourself under the same conditions: at the same time of day, undressed, on an empty stomach (e.g., in the morning after going to the toilet).

4.2 Display Indicators

• Digital Display: Your scale features a clear digital display for easy reading of measurements.
• Battery Level Indicator: An icon will appear on the display to indicate when the batteries are low and need replacement.
• Overload Indicator: If the weight on the scale exceeds its maximum capacity (180 kg), an "Err" or "OL" message will be displayed. Remove weight immediately to prevent damage.

4.3 Special Features

• Auto Shut Off: The scale will automatically turn off after a period of inactivity to conserve battery life.
• Advanced Measurements: This model is capable of measuring weight, body fat, muscle mass, kcal (calorie estimation), and body water. Ensure user profiles are correctly set up for these functions.

5. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Clean the scale's glass surface with a damp cloth and a mild cleaning agent. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the scale in water.
• Storage: Store the scale in a dry place at room temperature. Avoid storing it vertically or in areas with high humidity.
• Battery Replacement: Replace batteries promptly when the low battery indicator appears to ensure consistent performance.

6. Troubleshooting

• No Display/Scale Not Turning On: Check if batteries are correctly installed and have sufficient charge. Replace if necessary.
• Inaccurate Readings:
  • Ensure the scale is on a hard, flat, and stable surface.
  • Perform a zero-setting by tapping the scale and waiting for "0" before weighing.
  • Ensure you are weighing under consistent conditions (see Section 4.1).
• "Err" or "OL" Message: The scale is overloaded. Remove weight immediately. The maximum capacity is 180 kg.
• Body Composition Readings Not Appearing: Ensure your user profile is correctly set up and selected. Make sure your feet are clean and making good contact with the electrodes (if applicable to your model for body composition analysis).
