It does not provide Arabic voice output. Thanks to Step-on activation, weighing starts automatically when you step onto the platform.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wecare-answer-box\"><strong>Quick answer:<\/strong> Place the PS425 on a hard, level floor, select your preferred weight unit and voice language, then stand still in the center of the platform. The scale displays and announces your weight automatically. If you do not need voice output, you can still read the result on the LCD display.<\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\"
