CAUTION!
Risk of falling, faulty operation
To prevent falls from the scale and faulty opera-
tion, you must ensure before each use that the
scale is operational.
– Ensure that the tray is correctly fixed in
position (see "Put on tray" on page 34).
– Perform a function check (see "Function
check" on page 40).
– Check whether the beam is balanced (see
"Checking the position of the beam" on
page 35).
1. Ensure that the locking lever of the beam is re-
leased (see "Releasing/locking the beam" on
page 35).
2. Place the baby on the tray.
WARNING!
Risk of falling
Baby scales generally stand on raised work sur-
faces. If the baby falls from this surface, this
may result in serious irreversible or fatal injuries.
– Ensure that the device is steady and level.
– Route connecting cables (if present) in such a
way that people cannot trip over them.
– Never leave a baby unsupervised.
3. Move the large sliding weight until the beam is
balanced approximately.
Pointer and counterpointer must be at
approximately the same level.
4. Wait until the beam has stopped swinging.
NOTICE!
Incorrect measurement due to force shunt
If you touch the scale, weight will not be
measured correctly.
– Ensure that you do not touch the scale while
the beam is swinging.
