5. Operating Instructions

This section details how to use your SOEHNLE PROFESSIONAL 6731 scale for accurate measurements.

5.1. Taking a Weight Measurement

1. Ensure the scale is on a stable surface and the display shows "0.0". If not, press the ON/OFF button to turn it on or re-zero it.
2. Step onto the center of the large platform barefoot and stand still.
3. Your weight will be displayed on the LC display. Wait for the reading to stabilize.
4. Step off the scale. The reading may hold for a few seconds or return to zero.

5.2. Using the Length Measurement

The integrated length gauge allows for simultaneous height measurement.

1. Have the person stand on the scale platform, facing forward, with their back against the stand.
2. Gently lower the headpiece of the length measurement rod until it rests lightly on the top of the person's head.
3. Read the height measurement directly from the scale on the display, or from the markings on the rod itself, depending on the model's specific integration.
