Clean the scale's glass platform with a damp cloth and a mild glass cleaner. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the surface. Do not immerse the scale in water.
Battery Replacement:
When the display shows "Lo" or becomes dim, it is time to replace the batteries. Refer to the "Battery Installation" section for instructions.
Storage:
Store the scale in a dry place at room temperature. Avoid extreme temperatures or high humidity, which can affect electronic components.
