Frequently Asked Questions - Katharina BE 1723 ADE

What to do if the scale displays 'Lo'?

The 'Lo' display indicates that the batteries are low. Replace all batteries with new LR03 (AAA) 1.5 V batteries. After replacement, calibrate the scale by briefly stepping on it until it displays '0.0'.

How to change the measurement unit?

Press the Unit button located under the scale. The unit change (kg, lb, st lb) is displayed on the screen. The scale must be turned on to perform this operation.

What to do if the scale displays 'Err'?

The 'Err' display means that the maximum capacity of 180 kg has been exceeded. Step off immediately to avoid damage. Do not overload the scale.

How to calibrate the scale?

Place the scale on a flat, hard surface. Briefly step onto the platform, then step off. The screen displays '0.0' after calibration. This operation is necessary after each battery change.

How to clean the scale?

Use a soft, slightly damp cloth to wipe the surface. Never immerse the scale in water. For disinfection, use a suitable disinfectant. Avoid corrosive or abrasive products.

Can I use the scale on a carpet?

No, the scale must be placed on a hard, flat, dry surface. Carpet or rug can distort measurements and damage the scale.

What is the maximum capacity of the scale?

The scale can weigh up to 180 kg. Never exceed this limit, otherwise the screen will display 'Err'.

How to reset the scale?

Remove the batteries from the compartment, wait a few seconds, then reinsert them respecting polarity. The scale will return to factory settings.

What to do if the scale does not turn on?

Check that the batteries are inserted correctly (polarity +/-) and that they are not discharged. Replace them if necessary. Make sure the battery compartment cover is properly closed.

How to dispose of the used scale?

Do not dispose of the scale with household waste. Take it to an electronic waste collection point or return it to your retailer. Batteries must be removed and disposed of separately at an appropriate collection point.

The bathroom scale are designed for the weighing of people in the home. It is not suitable for use in clinics, medical practices, etc.

The maximum carrying capacity of 180 kg must not be exceeded.

Safety

- This item can be used by children 8 years of age and above, as well as by persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capacities or lacking experience and knowledge, if they are supervised or have been instructed in the safe use of the item and understand the dangers that may arise.

- Children must not play with the item.

- Cleaning and user maintenance must not be carried out by children, unless they are 8 years of age or older and are being supervised.

- Batteries, when swallowed, can be life-threatening. For this reason, the scale and battery should be kept in a place out of reach of children. If a battery is swallowed, medical assistance must be sought immediately.

DANGER for Children

- Keep children away from packaging material. Risk of choking if swallowed. Also pay attention that children do not pull the packaging material over their heads.

RISK of fire/burning and/or explosion

- There is a risk of explosion if batteries are replaced incorrectly. Replace the battery only with one of the same or a similar type. Pay attention to the "Technical Data".

- Batteries must not be recharged, reactivated by other means, dismantled, thrown into fire, or short-circuited. Otherwise there is an increased risk of explosion and of leakage; furthermore, gases may escape.

- Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and mucosa. If contact is made with the battery fluid, rinse the affected areas immediately with plenty of clean water and see a doctor straight away.

WARNING against risk of injury

- Do not step onto the outer edge of any one side of the scale. Risk of tipping!

- Do not step onto the scale with wet feet or when its surface is damp. Risk of slipping!

BEWARE of material damage

- Place the scale on a stable, even surface.

- Do not overload the scale. Pay attention to the "Technical Data". Place yourself on the scale exclusively for weighing purposes.

- Protect the scale from sharp jolts and vibrations.

- Remove the battery from the scale once it has been used or when you are no longer using the scale. You will thus avoid damage that may result from the leakage of battery acid.

- When inserting and changing batteries, pay attention to the correct polarity (+/-).

- Do not subject the battery to any extreme conditions, by – for example – storing it on radiators or under direct sunlight. Increased risk of leakage!

- Clean the battery and device contacts, as needed, before inserting the battery.

- Do not make any modifications to the item. Only allow repairs to be carried out at a specialist workshop. Repairs carried out incorrectly can considerably endanger the user.

- Do not place the scale in the vicinity of devices which may emit electromagnetic radiation, such as mobile phones, wireless devices, or the like. Doing so may lead to incorrect display indicators or malfunctions.

- There are feet on the underside of the scale. Since surfaces are made from various materials and are treated with diverse care products, the possibility cannot be completely excluded that some of these substances contain constituents that attack and soften the feet of the device. If necessary, place an anti-slip underlay beneath the scale.

Inserting/changing batteries

For use you require 3 batteries of type LR03 (AAA), 1.5 V (included). The battery compartment is located on the underside of the device.

1. Push the locking tab towards the edge of the scale and remove the battery compartment cover.
2. Insert the batteries as shown on the base of the battery compartment. Pay attention to the correct polarity (+/-).
3. Replace the battery compartment cover. The closing flap must engage audibly.

Suggestions for changing the battery:

• A battery change is necessary when "Lo" or nothing at all is shown on the display.
• Only use the type of battery that is specified in the "Technical Data".
• Always exchange all of the batteries at the same time.
• Dispose of the old battery in an environmentally responsible way (see "Disposal").
• Calibrate the scale, see "Setting the scale".

Choosing the unit of measurement

When the scale is delivered, the unit of measurement is set to "kg" as standard. However, the measurement result can also be displayed in the English unit "lb" (pound) or "st lb" (stone:pound).

1. To switch on the scale, step on the middle of the weighing surface.
2. Press repeatedly the Unit button on the back of the scale.

Note the display.

Positioning the scale

1. Place the scale on an even, firm, and dry surface. Do not place the scale on carpet.
2. First, briefly step onto the middle of the weighing surface to calibrate the scale. As soon as the display shows "0.0", calibration is complete.
   This calibration must be performed after each battery change.

WARNING against injuries

- Do not step onto the scale with wet feet or when its surface is damp. Risk of slipping!

- Position yourself on the scale. Remain standing still and do not hold on to anything.

The scale switches on and the display flashes shortly afterwards: The weight measurement is displayed in the selected unit of measure.

A few seconds after you step off the weighing surface, the scale will switch off automatically.

- The weight is displayed for up to approx. 10 seconds after leaving the scale. When you step on the weighing platform using slight force, the display shows "0.0" and you can weigh yourself again.

- Weigh yourself with as little clothing on as possible.

- Try to weigh yourself always at the same time and under consistent conditions in order to obtain comparable values.

Resetting the scale

Reset the scale to factory settings if unusual or obviously incorrect values are shown on the display.

1. Remove the batteries from the battery compartment and wait a moment.
2. Re-insert the batteries.

Pay attention to the correct polarity of the batteries (+/-).

After switching the scale on, you can weigh yourself as usual.

Cleaning

NOTE on material damage

-Do not immerse the scale in water or other liquids.
- Do not under any circumstances use harsh, scraping, or abrasive cleaning agents or the like to clean the scale. If you do, the surface could be scratched.

• Wipe down the scale as needed using a lightly dampened, soft cloth.
• Disinfect the weighing surface from time to time using a suitable disinfecting agent (available at specialist retailers and pharmacies).
