CAUTION!
Incorrect measurement as a result of incorrect setup location and
incorrect ambient conditions
Soft floors such as wooden hallways, for example, give under the
patient's weight and falsify the measuring result. Incorrect ambient
conditions lead to measurement errors.
► Select a setup location with a level, stable floor in order to achieve
precise measuring results.
► Use the device only in the intended ambient conditions
(➔ "Technical data", page 39).
WARNING!
Injury from device falling over
Devices with handrails may fall over if the patient reaches for the hand-
rail when stepping onto the device or during the measurement.
► Only set up devices equipped with a handrail in such a way that the
rear of the device is 5 to 10 cm away from the wall (do not place the
device right against the wall).
1. Place the device on a firm, level surface.
2. If necessary, plug the plug-in power supply unit into the device and into
the power socket (➔ "Connecting the plug-in power supply unit (variant-
dependent)", page 25).
You need six AA-type batteries, 1.5 V.
NOTE
If you want to use the WiFi function or a barcode scanner (variant-
dependent), the power consumption of the device rises significantly. In
these cases, operate the device with the plug-in power supply unit
provided.
To establish the power supply, proceed as follows:
1. Open the battery compartment:
a) Hold the battery compartment lid steady
b) Remove the cross-head screw behind the battery compartment lid
c) Remove the battery compartment lid
2. Put the new batteries into the battery holder in the battery compartment.
NOTE
• If replacing batteries: Dispose of the old batteries (➔ "Batteries and
rechargeable batteries", page 42).
• Ensure the correct polarity of the batteries (markings on the battery
holder). If appears in the display, you have inserted one of the
bAtt
batteries the wrong way round or the batteries have discharged. If
batteries are inserted the wrong way round, they must be removed
again immediately.
3. Close the battery compartment:
a) Insert the battery compartment lid
b) Tighten the cross-head screw behind the battery compartment lid
