Before first use
1 Remove the protective strip by pulling it out of the
battery compartment. (Fig. 1)
Preparing for use
Inserting batteries
The appliance runs on four LR6 AA 1.5-volt batteries
(included). We strongly advise you to use Philips
PowerLife batteries on account of their long life and
environmental friendliness.
1 Remove the battery compartment cover. (Fig. 2)
2 Insert the batteries and reattach the battery
compartment cover. (Fig. 3)
Make sure the + and - poles of the batteries point in the
right direction.
Replacing the batteries
Replace the batteries when the battery symbol
lights up. (Fig. 4)
Attaching/removing the carpet feet
Attach the carpet feet provided if you want to use the
scales on thick-pile or high-pile carpet.
1 Attach the carpet feet by pushing them into the
holes in the bottom of the appliance
. (Fig. 5)
If you want to remove the carpet feet, pull them out of
the holes.
Improving the accuracy of the scales
The appliance is equipped with gravity zones. These
gravity zones improve the accuracy of the scales because
they compensate for gravity differences across the world.
1 Set the slide to the gravity zone (1-6) closest to the
location where you use the scales. (Fig. 6)
Adjusting the unit of measure
1 Set the slide to the preferred unit of measure (kg,
st or lb). (Fig. 7)
The display shows the selected unit of measure and
how the weight is displayed. (Fig. 8)
Using the appliance
1 Step onto the scales. (Fig. 9)
The appliance switches on automatically.
2 Your weight is displayed after a few seconds. (Fig.
10)
3 Step off the scales.
The appliance switches off automatically.
Viewing the last measured weight
1 Tap the scales with your foot to view the last
measured weight.
(Fig. 11)
2 Step onto the scales if you want to weight yourself
after viewing the last measured weight.
Your weight is displayed after a few seconds.
Cleaning
Do not use abrasives, scourers or liquids such as
alcohol, petrol or acetone to clean the appliance.

ofcial collection point for batteries. Always remove
the batteries before you discard and hand in the
appliance at an ofcial collection point.
Do not throw away the appliance with the normal
household waste at the end of its life, but hand it in
at an ofcial collection point for recycling. By doing
this, you help to preserve the environment.

Frequently asked questions
1 Why does the battery symbol light up? (Fig. 4)
The batteries may be empty. Replace the batteries
(see chapter ‘Preparing for use’).
2 Why does the display read ‘Err’? (Fig. 14)
The weight of the person on the scales may exceed
150kg, 330lb or 19st, which is the maximum weight
the scales can weigh.
Perhaps the scales stand on an uneven surface.
Make sure the scales are placed on an even, stable
surface.
Perhaps the scales stand on a soft or carpeted
surface without the carpet feet. Attach the carpet
feet when you use the scales on carpet (see
chapter ‘Preparing for use’).
3 Why does the display read ‘0.0’? (Fig. 15)
The object that is weighed weighs less than 10kg.
The scales cannot measure weights below 10kg.
4 How do I weigh my baby?
If you want to weigh your baby, rst weigh yourself
and then weigh yourself again while you hold your
baby. The difference between the two values is the
weight of your baby.
5 Why does the display show the wrong unit of
measure?
You have not set the unit of measure you prefer.
Select the unit of measure you prefer (see chapter
‘Preparing for use’).
6 How does the gravity compensation setting
improve the accuracy of the scales?
The earth’s gravity force varies at different locations
in the world. As a result, you weigh less when you
are closer to the equator and more when you
are closer to the poles. The gravity compensation
setting compensates for this difference. When
you select the zone closest to where you live,
your weight is displayed with improved (absolute)
accuracy. This makes it easier to compare your
weight measured by these scales with your weight
measured by professionally calibrated scales as
often used by doctors, dieticians or tness centres.
