Note: The displayed value may be adversely affected under extreme electromagnetic

influences, e.g. when using a radio unit in the immediate vicinity of the device. Once the

interference has been rectified, the product can once again be used for its intended

purpose. The device may have to be switched-on again.

Statutory instructions on battery disposal

Batteries must not be disposed as household waste. The law requires that you, as

consumer, return the waste batteries either to public collection points in your town or

village or to any outlet selling batteries of the same kind.

Note:

Batteries are marked as follows:

Li = Battery contains Lithium

Al = Battery contains Alkali

Mn = Battery contains Manganese

CR (Li); AA (Al, Mn); AAA (Al, Mn)

Safety instructions for lithium batteries (CR2032/CR2430):

1. Lithium batteries are lithium manganese cells. If you do not use the scale over a longer

period, you should take out the batteries of the device.

2. Never open the lithium battery, do not put into fire, or expose to shocks because an

explosion risk lasts or discharge of poisonous exposure to fumes might possible.

3. Never touch leaked cells with bare hands.

4. When eyes or hands are contaminated, it is essential to rinse with lots of water. You

should go to a doctor if skin or eyes are irritated.

5. Dispose cells only completely discharged or protected against polarity reversal

wrapped according to your local disposal regulation.

6. Do not expose the cells to direct solar radiation and store away from heat; otherwise,

there is risk of overheating.

7. Maintain a storage temperature of < 40°C.

The ADE Model Lotta / BE 1305 is a high-quality bathroom scale designed for personal use, offering a straightforward and reliable weighing experience. This instruction manual provides comprehensive details on its function, technical specifications, usage, and maintenance.

Function Description

The primary function of the ADE Model Lotta / BE 1305 is to accurately measure and display body weight. It operates using a "step-on-function," meaning the user simply steps onto the weighing platform to activate the scale and obtain a reading. The scale is designed for quick and easy use, providing a weight indication within a few seconds of stepping on. After weighing, the scale automatically switches off after a few seconds to conserve battery life.

The device is equipped with a country-specific setting switch located on the bottom, allowing users to select between kilograms (kg) and pounds (lb) as the unit of weight. This ensures the scale can be adapted to various regional preferences.

Important Technical Specifications

Capacity x Graduation: The scale has a maximum capacity of 180 kg (approximately 396 lb) with a graduation of 100 g (approximately 0.22 lb). This precision allows for detailed tracking of weight changes.
Dimensions: The scale measures 307 mm x 307 mm x 17 mm, making it a compact and space-efficient device suitable for most bathrooms.
Battery: It is powered by one CR 2032 lithium battery, which is included with the device. The manual provides specific safety instructions for handling lithium batteries, including warnings against opening them, exposing them to fire or shocks, and touching leaked cells. It also advises removing batteries if the scale will not be used for an extended period and disposing of them properly.
Error Messages:
- "Err": Indicates an overload, meaning the weight on the scale exceeds its maximum capacity of 180 kg. Users are advised to immediately remove the critical load to prevent damage to the load cell.
- "Lo": Signifies that the battery is used up and needs to be replaced with a new CR 2032 battery.
Compliance: The device features radio interference suppression in compliance with valid EC Regulation 2014/30, indicated by the CE mark.

Usage Features

Step-on Activation: The scale is activated simply by stepping onto the weighing platform, eliminating the need for buttons or complex controls.
Automatic Shut-off: To conserve battery life, the scale automatically switches off a few seconds after the weighing process is complete.
Unit Selection: A switch on the bottom of the scale allows users to easily toggle between kilograms (kg) and pounds (lb) to suit their preference.
Consistent Weighing Conditions: For comparable readings, the manual recommends weighing undressed, at the same time of day, and under consistent conditions, acknowledging that body weight can fluctuate due to factors like exercise, sauna visits, or meals.
Placement: The scale should be placed on a plane and firm surface, such as tiles or hardwood flooring, to ensure accurate measurements. Carpeted surfaces should be avoided as they can lead to incorrect readings.
Safety Precautions:
- Users should always stay in the center of the scale to prevent tipping.
- It is crucial not to stand on the scale with wet feet or on a slippery surface to avoid slips.
- Heavy objects should not be dropped on the scale, as this could damage the glass surface or the scale itself.
- The appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless supervised or instructed by a responsible person. Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance.

Maintenance Features

Cleaning: The scale should be cleaned using only a slightly damp cloth. Solvents or abrasive cleaning agents should not be used, and the scale should never be submerged in water.
Battery Replacement: When the "Lo" error message appears, the CR 2032 battery needs to be replaced. The battery cover is located on the bottom of the scale, and users should ensure correct polarity (+/-) when inserting the new battery.
Battery Safety: The manual provides detailed safety instructions for lithium batteries, including proper disposal methods (completely discharged or protected against polarity reversal and wrapped according to local regulations), avoiding direct solar radiation, and storing at temperatures below 40°C.
Disposal of Old Equipment: The product features a symbol indicating that it should not be treated as household waste. Instead, it should be handed over to an applicable collection point for the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment, in accordance with local regulations.
Warranty: ADE offers a 2-year warranty from the date of purchase, covering defects due to faulty material or workmanship. For warranty claims, the weighing scale should be returned to the dealer with the sales slip and a description of the complaint.

The ADE Model Lotta / BE 1305 is designed for ease of use, accuracy, and durability, making it a practical tool for personal weight management. Its clear instructions and safety guidelines ensure a safe and effective user experience.
