Frequently Asked Questions - IAN 57179 SILVERCREST

How do I change the batteries in my SilverCrest IAN 57179 scale?

Open the battery compartment on the bottom of the scale. Insert two AAA batteries (not included) with correct polarity. Close the cover securely.

What does 'Err' mean on the display?

The 'Err' message indicates an overload. The weight exceeds the maximum capacity of 180 kg (396 lb). Remove the excess weight immediately to avoid damage.

How can I switch between kg, lb, and st?

Press the unit button (usually labeled 'kg/lb/st') on the back or bottom of the scale. The display will cycle through the units. Release when you see your preferred unit.

My scale shows inconsistent readings. What should I do?

Ensure the scale is on a hard, flat surface. Avoid carpets or uneven floors. Step on and off to reset, then weigh again. Also check that the batteries are fresh.

How do I clean the scale?

Use a soft, damp cloth with mild detergent. Do not immerse in water or use abrasive cleaners. Dry immediately with a soft towel.

Does the scale have a memory function?

No, the SilverCrest IAN 57179 does not have a memory function. It displays only the current weight measurement.

Why does the display show 'Lo' or a battery symbol?

This indicates low battery voltage. Replace both AAA batteries with new ones as soon as possible to ensure accurate measurements.

Can I use this scale on carpet?

For accurate results, place the scale on a hard, flat surface. Carpet can cause inconsistent readings. If necessary, place a rigid board under the scale.

How do I perform a tare or zero function?

The scale auto-zeros when turned on. To tare (e.g., weigh a container), place the empty container on the scale, then press the tare button if available. Some models tare automatically when you step on after an initial reading.

What should I do if the scale does not turn on?

Check the batteries for correct orientation and charge. If the battery compartment is corroded, clean with a cotton swab and vinegar. If still not working, the scale may be defective.

WARNING! DANGER TO LIFE! Never use the product if you have a pacemaker. Never use the product near people that have a pacemaker or use other medical devices.
⚠️ CAUTION! DANGER OF INJURY! Do not load the scales beyond 180 kg. The safety glass could break and cause cut injuries
⚠️ CAUTION! DANGER OF INJURY!

Do not step on to the scales with wet feet and do not use the scales if the platform is moist. You might slip.

• Protect your scales from impact, moisture, dust, chemicals and sudden changes in temperature and keep them away from sources of heat (ovens, heating radiators).
  ■ Do not expose the device to:

• extreme temperatures,

• strong vibrations,
• high mechanical loads,
• direct solar radiation,
• moisture.

Failure to observe this advice may result in damage to the device.

• Check the device for damage before bringing it into use. If the device is damaged do not use it.
  ■ Remove the battery if the device breaks down or is defective. Otherwise the battery is more likely to leak.
• Never open the device housing. This could result in personal injury or damage to the device. Always have any repairs carried out at the service centre or by an electrical equipment repair specialist.

Warning! Dangers arising from the use of batteries

WARNING! DANGER TO LIFE! Batteries

are not intended to be in the hands of children. Do not leave batteries lying around. They could be swallowed by children or pets. In the event of swallowing a battery, contact a doctor immediately!

CAUTION! DANGER OF EXPLOSION! Never recharge single-use batteries. Do not short-circuit or

open them. Overheating, fire or destruction of the batteries might result. Never throw batteries into fire or water. The batteries might explode.

• Avoid extreme environmental conditions and temperatures as they may affect batteries e.g. above radiators. Otherwise the batteries are more likely to leak.
• Exhausted or damaged batteries can cause caustic burns upon contact with the skin. To avoid this, always wear suitable protective gloves in these circumstances!
• Avoid contact with the skin, eyes and mucous membranes if fluid is leaking from a battery. If you come into contact with corrosive battery fluids, flush the affected area thoroughly with clean water and contact a doctor immediately.
• Clean any light dirt deposits on the contacts of the batteries or on the contacts of the device with a dry, fluff-free cloth before insertion.
  ■ Remove the battery if you are not going to use the device for an extended period.
• When inserting the batteries, ensure the correct polarity! This is shown in the battery compartment.
  ■ Remove spent batteries immediately from the device. There is an increased danger of leaks!
• Batteries must not be disposed of in the normal domestic waste!
  ■ Every consumer is legally obliged to dispose of batteries in the proper manner!
• Keep batteries away from children; do not throw them in the fire, short-circuit them or take them apart.
  If the above instructions are not complied with, the batteries may discharge themselves beyond their end voltage. There is then a danger of

leaking. If the batteries have leaked inside your device, you should remove them immediately in order to prevent damage to the device!

■ Always replace all batteries at the same time and only use the same type of batteries.

- How to use

● Measuring weight

Note: Make sure that the control unit is at most 1.5 m from the scales when weighing yourself. Otherwise no infrared connection can be established. In this event, the LC display 11 will display “----”.

Place the scales down on a solid, flat horizontal surface.

5. Step down off the platform 3.

6. Wait for about 30 seconds or press the time / confirmation button 7 in order to get back to time display.

● Measuring weight, calorie requirement, body fat, body water, bone and muscle percentages

Note: Make sure that the control unit is at most 1.5 m from the scales when weighing yourself. Otherwise no infrared connection can be established. In this event, the LC display will display "----". ① Tip: Always try to weigh yourself at the same time of day (best done in the morning), after going to the toilet, with an empty stomach and without any clothes on in order to get comparable results.

□ Place the scales down on a solid, flat horizontal surface.

Do not place the scales on a carpet. Otherwise this could influence the result. If necessary you can place a board on the carpet and place the scales upon this. A solid floor covering is required in order to achieve correct weight measurements.

1. Pick the control unit up and make sure that the time is being displayed.

Note: You can leave the control unit in the scales. Make sure that the metal contact 13 of the control unit lies precisely on the metal contact 4 of the scales.

1. Press the time / confirmation button 7 to be able to get the stored personal data.
