Low Battery
Your scale is equipped with a low battery indicator. It will display “LO” or readings will grow dim or become irregular if the battery needs replacement.
Trouble Shooting
1. Place your feet in the same position every time you weigh yourself. Stand still during measurement.
2. Weigh yourself without clothing whenever possible. Clothes can vary in weight.
3. Move the scale to a location where it won't be bumped. If your scale is bumped while being activated or while in use, an inaccurate reading may occur.
4. For the most consistent readings, weigh yourself at the same time of day. Allow for weight fluctuations due to food or drink in your system.
5. The maximum capacity of this scale is 400 lbs / 180 kgs / 28 st 8 lbs.. Should “Err ” appear on the display during a weighing, this indicates that the maximum
weighing capacity of the scale has been exceeded. Remove the weight immediately; otherwise, permanent damage may occur.

Overview

1. Function Description
2. Usage Features
3. Maintenance Features

This document describes the Health o meter® 800KL Professional scale, a device designed for accurate personal weight measurement. The scale is intended for home use and offers a straightforward user experience with several features to ensure reliable readings and ease of maintenance.

Function Description

The primary function of the Health o meter® 800KL Professional scale is to measure and display an individual's weight. It operates by detecting the pressure exerted on its platform and converting this into a digital weight reading. The scale is designed to provide consistent and accurate measurements, making it suitable for regular personal use. It offers the flexibility to display weight in different units, including pounds (lbs), kilograms (kgs), and stone (st), catering to various user preferences and regional standards. The scale incorporates an automatic shut-off feature to conserve battery life, turning off after a period of inactivity or after displaying the weight for a set duration.

Usage Features

To ensure optimal performance and accuracy, the Health o meter® 800KL Professional scale includes several usage features and recommendations:

• Initial Setup: Before first use, or after the scale has been moved, it requires a simple calibration step. Users should step onto the scale (disregarding the initial reading) and then step off. This process prepares the scale for accurate measurements. Once this is done, users can step directly onto the scale for subsequent weighings.
• Unit Selection: The scale allows users to easily switch between measurement units (pounds, kilograms, or stone) by pressing a dedicated "kg/st/lb" button located on the bottom of the device. This flexibility ensures that users can view their weight in their preferred unit.
• Measurement Process: To obtain a weight reading, users should step onto the scale platform and remain still. The display will initially show "0.0" and then count up to the current weight. Once the weight is locked, the display will flash twice, indicating a stable and final reading.
• Automatic Shut-off: The scale is equipped with an automatic shut-off function to preserve battery life. If a user steps off the scale, the display will turn off automatically within 5 seconds. If a user remains on the scale, their weight will be displayed for 10 seconds before the scale automatically turns off.
• Placement Recommendations: For the most accurate readings, the scale should always be placed on a flat, hard surface. Carpeted or uneven floors can affect the accuracy of measurements.
• Consistency in Weighing: To achieve the most consistent and reliable weight readings, it is recommended that users place their feet in the same position each time they weigh themselves and stand still during the measurement. Weighing oneself without clothing whenever possible is also advised, as clothing can vary in weight and impact accuracy. For the most consistent results, weighing at the same time of day is recommended, accounting for natural weight fluctuations due to food or drink intake.
• Error Indicators: The scale is designed to alert users to potential issues. If "Err" appears on the display during a weighing, it indicates that the maximum weighing capacity of the scale has been exceeded. In such cases, the weight should be removed immediately to prevent permanent damage to the device.
• Low Battery Indicator: The scale includes a low battery indicator. When the battery needs replacement, the display will show "LO" or the readings may become dim or irregular, signaling that it's time to change the battery.

Maintenance Features

The Health o meter® 800KL Professional scale is designed for ease of maintenance, focusing on simple cleaning and battery replacement:

• Cleaning: Exposed parts of the scale can be cleaned with a soft, slightly damp cloth. For stains, a mild soap can be used. It is important to avoid using detergents, excess water, treated cloths, harsh cleaning agents, or sprays, as these can damage the electronic components or the scale's finish.
• Battery Replacement: The scale uses one 3-volt CR2032 lithium battery. To replace the battery, users need to open the battery compartment located on the bottom of the scale by pushing a tab and lifting the cover. The old battery can then be removed, and a new battery should be inserted with the "+" sign facing up. The compartment cover should be gently pushed down until it clicks shut.
• Storage Recommendations: To prevent damage and ensure longevity, the scale should not be stored in areas where cleaning chemicals are kept, as their vapors can affect the electronic components. It should also not be stored on its side. To prevent battery rundown, nothing should be stored on the scale when not in use. Batteries should not be disposed of in fire, as they may explode or leak. If the scale will not be used for an extended period, it is advisable to remove the battery.
• Durability and Care: While the scale is designed to be maintenance-free and contains sensitive electronic parts, it is important to avoid rough treatment such as dropping, kicking, or jumping on it. Treating the scale with care will help ensure its best performance and extend its lifespan.
