4. Initial use
Remove the batteries from the protective packaging and insert them into the scale and then into the outdoor
sensor within 60 seconds, ensuring that the battery polarity is correct in all cases.
After inserting the batteries, “--.-” appears in the outside temperature LCD fi eld and the radio symbol fl ashes.
The scale now receives the signal from the outside temperature sensor. The transmission is complete when
the outside temperature is displayed.
If the scale does not function, remove the batteries completely and reinsert them. Ensure that the cor-
rect battery polarity is observed. You can also press the “Reset” button. Press the CHANNEL button to
select the fi rst channel (CH1), as the outdoor sensor always searches for the fi rst channel.
5. Settings
Setting the time
In standby mode (time displayed), press the MODE button for 3 seconds. Now use and to choose be-
tween 24- and 12-hour mode. Press the MODE button to confi rm your selection. Now set the time (hours and
minutes) using
and , in each case confi rming your entry with the MODE button.
Setting the alarm clock
Press the MODE button in standby mode. “AL” appears in the display (2). Press and hold the MODE button
for 3 seconds. You can now set the desired alarm time using
and . Press the MODE button to confi rm
your entry.

Activating/deactivating the alarm clock
Press the ALARM button in standby mode. The alarm symbol appears in the display (2). Pressing the
ALARM button again deactivates the alarm clock. An accelerating acoustic signal sounds at the set alarm
time. Press the SNZ button to activate the snooze function; in this case, the alarm sounds again after 5 min-
utes. Press any button to deactivate the alarm clock.
Setting the temperature unit
In standby mode, press the button to select between °C and °F.
Confi guring the weather station
Start by setting the current weather situation. Press and hold the button until an acoustic signal sounds.
Now use the
button to select the weather situation 12 hours previously. Confi rm using the button. The
station displays the next change of weather in the next 12 hours.
The scale uses a range of di erent weather symbols to provide weather information in as much detail as pos-
sible. Depending on the weather forecast, the scale displays a sequence of fl ashing weather symbols:
1. 2. 3. 4.
Sunny
Partly Cloudy
Cloudy
Rainy
Torrential Rain
Snowy
The weather forecast is based on changes in atmospheric pressure. Pressure values are compared on
an hourly basis. If the atmospheric pressure rises, an area of high pressure can be expected. The indi-
cated forecast changes towards the “sunny” end of the weather scale. The opposite applies in the case
of declining atmospheric pressure.
6. Changing the batteries
The scale is equipped with a low battery indicator. If the batteries become too weak, “
Lo
” appears in the dis-
play (1) and the scale switches o automatically. In this case, the batteries must be replaced as soon as pos-
sible (4 x 1.5 V, type AA).
The batteries in the outdoor sensor must be replaced when the scale no longer receives a radio signal (2 x 1.5 V,
type AAA).
Press and hold the CHANNEL button for 3 seconds to search for the outdoor sensor. Ensure that
channel 1 (CH1) is set on the scale.
7. Measuring your weight
Place the scale on an even, hard surface (no carpet); a hard surface is crucial to accurate measurements.
Tap the scale with your foot; “
[al
” briefl y appears in the display, followed by “
0.0
kg”. Step onto the scale.
Stand still with your weight distributed equally on both feet. The measurement is displayed shortly afterwards.

If you step o the standing surface, the scale switches o after 10 seconds. The measurement remains visible
during this period.
If the maximum capacity of the scale (150 kg) is exceeded, “
o_LD
” appears in the display.
8. Cleaning and maintaining the device
The device should be cleaned from time to time.
This should be done using a damp cloth and, if necessary, a small amount of detergent. Do not use any abra-
sive cleaning products and never submerge the device in water.
