CAUTION!
Damage to persons
Perform a function check as described in the
section entitled "Function check" on page 74
before using the device each time.
WARNING!
Risk of falling
Baby scales generally stand on raised work sur-
faces. If the baby falls from this surface, this
may result in serious irreversible or fatal injuries.
►
Ensure that the device is steady and level.
►
Route connecting cables (if present) in such a
way that people cannot trip over them.
►
Never leave a baby unsupervised.
1. Ensure that there is no load on the scale.
2. Press the Start key.
All the elements of the display are shown briefly,
then SECA appears in the display.
The scale is ready for operation when the display
reads 0.000.
If the scale is being operated with a power pack,
the symbol
will appear in the display.
3. Place the baby on the tray.
4. Read off the measured result.
You can use the TARE function to prevent the weighing
result from being affected by an additional weight (e.g.
a towel or pad on the tray).
NOTICE!
Incorrect measurement due to force shunts
If an additional weight (e.g. large towel) is in
contact with the surface on which the scale is
standing, the weight will not be measured
correctly.
►
Make sure that any additional weight is only
placed on the tray of the scale.
