The weight display can be switched be-
tween kilogrammes (kg), pounds (lbs) and
stones (sts). Weight is determined within a
few seconds.
In addition to the conventional determina-
tion of weight, the seca 703 also has a
function for determining body mass index.
For this purpose, height is entered on the
keypad and the body mass index associ-
ated with the weight value is output.
The seca 703 can be moved on castors,
and its low power consumption means
that it can be used on a mobile basis with
batteries for long periods.
• Have repairs carried out exclusively by
authorised persons.
• Use only the type of battery stated (see
"Changing the batteries" on page 23).
• When using the scale with a mains unit,
ensure that the supply cable is routed in
such a way as to exclude any type of
tripping hazard.
