•

The measuring results of the body fat, body water and muscle percentage are shown in 0.1% increments.

•

On delivery, the scale is set to “inch” and “lb”.

4. Information

The measuring principle

This scale operates according to the B.I.A. principle (bioelectric impedance analysis). This enables the mea-

surement of physical relationships within seconds by means of an unnoticeable and harmless signal from

the conductors in the scale. The body fat percentage and other physical relationships in the body can be

determined by measuring the electrical resistance (impedance) and calculating constants and individual

parameters such as age, height, gender, weight and degree of physical activity.

Muscle tissue and water have good electrical conductivity, and therefore lower resistance.

Bones and fatty tissue, on the other hand, have low conductivity as fat cells and bones conduct hardly any

current as a result of their very high resistance.

General tips

•

Place the scale on a hard, plane level floor (no carpet); a firm floor covering is required for correct mea-

surement.

•

If possible, always weigh yourself at the same time of day (preferably in the morning) striving for compa-

rable conditions such as after using the toilet, on an empty stomach and unclothed, in order to achieve

comparable results.

•

Important for the measurement: only measure body fat, body water, muscle percentage and bone mass

when barefoot. Dry soles or callused skin can result in unsatisfactory measurements due to inadequate

conductivity.

•

Stand still and upright during the measurement.

•

Wait a few hours after unaccustomed physical activity.

•

Wait approx. 15 minutes after getting up in the morning to allow the water in the body to distribute.

•

Remember that only long-term trends are important. Short-term changes in weight within a few days are

usually caused by a loss of fluid. Body water plays an important role towards our general well-being.

•

When activating the analysis functions, make sure there is no contact between your feet, legs, calves

or thighs. Otherwise the measurement will not be performed correctly.

Limitations

When measuring body fat and other values, deviating and implausible results may occur in:

•

growing children under 10,

•

competitive athletes and body builders,

•

post menopausal women,

•

people with fever, undergoing dialysis treatment or with symptoms of edema or osteoporosis,

•

people taking cardiovascular medication (affecting the heart and vascular system),

•

people taking vascular dilating or vascular constricting medication,

•

people with considerable anatomic deviations of the legs in relation to total height (length of the legs con-

siderably shortened or lengthened),

•

people who suffer from swelling,

•

people having swelling,

•

elderly people,

•

people who drink coffee or alcohol.

5. Batteries

WARNING!

•

Swallowing batteries and/or battery fluid can be extremely dangerous. Keep the battery and scale

out of the reach of children. Should a child or any other person swallow a battery and/or battery

fluid, please call 911 immediately.

•

Should battery fluid leak and come into contact with your eyes or skin, immediately rinse with

plenty of clean water. Please call 911 immediately.

•

Batteries should not be charged or reactivated by any other means.

•

Batteries should not be taken apart, thrown in the fire or short circuited.
