x Place the scale on a flat, level floor or low-cut carpet away from heating and cooling vents.
x Make certain the AC Power Adapter (if included) cord is out of the way of normal traffic to
avoid a trip hazard.
x NEVER allow the scale to get wet.
Check to make certain the scale is level. The level indicator is
located at the rear of the scale. If the scale is not level (the bubble
will not be centered), position the scale as required to center the
bubble and attain a level scale.
NOTE: Any time the scale is moved or re-located, be sure to check the level
bubble to ensure
the scale is level before using.
