5.1 Weight Measurement (Step-On Technology)
The Weighmax W-L440 features 'Step-On' technology for immediate readings:
- Ensure the scale is on a hard, flat surface.
- Gently step onto the scale with bare feet. The scale will automatically turn on.
- Stand still and centered on the platform. Your weight will be displayed on the large 2.5-inch LCD screen with a cool-blue backlight.
- The reading will stabilize and lock, allowing you to view your weight clearly.
- Step off the scale. It will automatically turn off after a few seconds to conserve battery life.
5.2 Unit Conversion (Pounds/Kilograms)
The scale supports both pounds (lbs) and kilograms (kgs). To switch between units, locate the unit conversion button on the underside of the scale, usually near the battery compartment. Press this button to toggle between lbs and kgs.
6. Care and Maintenance
- Clean the scale with a slightly damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the scale in water.
- Avoid dropping heavy objects on the scale or subjecting it to strong impacts.
- If the scale is not to be used for an extended period, remove the batteries to prevent leakage.
