1. Congratulations!
By purchasing the seca 701 electronic
personal scale, you have acquired a high-
ly-accurate and sturdy piece of equip-
ment.
seca has been putting its experience at
the service of health for over 150 years
now, and as market leader in many coun-
tries of the world, is always setting new
standards with its innovative develop-
ments for weighing and measuring.
In accordance with national regulations, the
seca 701 electronic personal scale is used
primarily in hospitals, doctors’ surgeries
and in-patient nursing facilities. The scales
are a Class I medical product, and have
been calibrated in accordance with the
precision class III.
In addition to the conventional determina-
tion of weight, the seca 701 also has a
function for determining body mass index.
For this purpose, height is entered on the
keypad and the body mass index associ-
ated with the weight value is output.
A special property of this scale is the
“mother-and-baby“ function. This enables
the weight of a baby or small child to be
determined quite easily in its mother’s
arms.
Its high degree of accuracy and its moth-
er-and-baby function make the seca 701
very good for use in paediatrics.
The scale is of a very sturdy construction
and will give you long and loyal service. It
is easy to operate and the large display is
easy to read.
2. Safety
Before using the new scale, please take a little time to read the following safety instruc-
tions.
• Follow the safety instructions in the in-
struction manual.
• Keep the operating manual and the
declaration of conformity contained
therein in a safe place.
• Do not drop the scale or subject it to vi-
olent shocks.
• Have scale serviced and re-calibrated
on a regular basis (see “Servicing” on
page 27).
• Have repairs carried out exclusively by

“Changing the batteries” on page 27).
• When using the scale with a mains unit,
ensure that the supply cable is routed in
such a way as to exclude any type of
tripping hazard.
