This avoids the display jumping about as a result of the child’s movements. HOLD and an arrow pointing to the mother-and-baby symbol also appear in the display.

10. Warranty A two-year warranty from date of delivery applies to defects attributable to poor materials or workmanship. All moveable parts - batteries, cables, mains units, rechargeable batteries etc. - are excluded. Defects which come under warranty will be made good for the customer at no charge on production of the receipt. No further claims can be entertained. The costs of transport in both directions will be borne by the customer should the equipment be located anywhere other than the customer’s premises. In the event of transport damage, claims under warranty can be

honoured only if the complete original pakkaging was used for any transport and the scale secured and attached in that pakkaging just as it was when originally pakked. All the packaging should therefore be retained. A claim under warranty will not be honoured if the equipment is opened by persons not expressly authorised by seca to do so. We would ask our customers abroad to contact their local sales agent in the event of a warranty matter.
