• The scale's glass platform can be slippery when wet. Ensure the surface is dry before stepping on.
• Do not use the scale if you have a pacemaker or other internal medical device. The electrical impulses used for body composition analysis may interfere with these devices.
• This scale is not intended for use by pregnant women, children, or individuals with certain medical conditions. Consult a healthcare professional if you have concerns.
• Do not jump on the scale or drop heavy objects on it.
• Keep batteries out of reach of children. If the battery compartment does not close securely, stop using the product and keep it away from children. If you suspect batteries have been swallowed or placed inside any part of the body, seek immediate medical attention.
• Dispose of batteries according to local regulations. Do not mix old and new batteries or different types of batteries.
