Cleaning Procedures
Proper care and cleaning of Befour scales is essential to ensure a long life of
accurate and effective operation. In addition to routine cleaning, include a
regular check of all structural apparatus.
All external surfaces can be wiped clean with a damp cloth or tissue. A mild
soap and water solution may be used as well. Wipe unit dry with a clean, soft
towel.
DO NOT immerse control console into cleaning or other liquid solution.
DO NOT use isopropyl alcohol or other such solutions to clean control
surfaces.
Remove batteries during extended periods of non-use or extended
transport.
Check overall appearance of the scale for any obvious damage or wear and
tear.
Troubleshooting

is voltage in the wall plug.

Cable Replacement
The PS-6615 features a standard computer cable to connect the scale platform
to the display console. Should the cable ever become damaged, it can easily
be replaced by the scale owner.
For optimal scale performance, only replacement cables from Befour should be
used. Please call Befour at 800-367-7109 to order. We will need the serial
number of your scale so we can verify the part you will need.
Please contact Befour Technical Service if you require assistance in replacing
the cable.
