7 Weighing "Step-on"-function
1. Make sure the scales are on a firm, level surface. If you only want to weigh yourself but have moved
the scales just before, you must first initialise the scales. To do this, press your foot on the middle
of the surface of the scales. "0.0 kg" appears in the display. When the scales switch off, they are
ready for the "step-on" function. This procedure is not necessary if you have not moved the scales.
2. Step onto the scales and stand still. The device switches on automatically and the display
shows "0.0 kg".
3. Your weight is measured, flashes twice and is then finally displayed.
4. Step down from the scales. The display changes to "0.0 kg". The scales switch off automatically
after 10 seconds.
