Frequently Asked Questions - Body Fat Scale 95908 Visage

How do I set up the scale for the first time?

Insert two CR2032 batteries into the battery compartment on the back. Place the scale on a hard, flat surface. Step on to activate; the scale will auto-calibrate.

How do I measure body fat?

Ensure you are barefoot and stand still on the scale. The scale sends a harmless electrical signal through your body. Wait until the display shows the body fat percentage and other metrics.

How do I switch between weight units?

Press the unit button on the scale (usually located on the back or side) to toggle between kg, lb, and st.

Why does the scale show no display?

Check if the batteries are inserted correctly and have enough charge. Replace with new CR2032 batteries if needed.

Can I use the scale if I have a pacemaker?

No, the scale uses bioelectrical impedance which may interfere with pacemakers. Consult your doctor before use.

What does 'Err' or 'OL' mean on the display?

'Err' indicates a measurement error; step off and try again. 'OL' means overload—the weight exceeds 180 kg. Remove weight immediately.

How do I clean the scale?

Wipe the glass platform with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or immerse the scale in water.

How many user profiles can I store?

Up to 10 users. Press the user button to switch profiles. Set your personal data (age, height, gender) for accurate body composition readings.

Why are my body fat readings inconsistent?

Measure at the same time of day, under consistent conditions (e.g., before meals). Hydration levels and foot placement affect results.

What is the warranty on this scale?

Warranty details vary by retailer. Typically, Visage offers a 1-year limited warranty. Check your purchase receipt or contact support.

First use

Checking the body fat scale and package contents

NOTICE!

Risk of damage!

If you are not cautious when opening the packaging with a sharp knife or other pointed object, you may quickly damage the body fat scale.

- For this reason, be very careful when opening it.

1. Take the body fat scale out of the packaging.
2. Check to make sure that all parts are included (see Fig. A).
3. Check whether the body fat scale or individual parts are damaged. If this is the case, do not use the body fat scale. Contact the manufacturer via the service address indicated on the warranty card.

Removing the protective foils and cleaning the body fat scale

Remove any leftover packaging from the body fat scale. Proceed as follows:

1. Pull the protective foil out of the battery compartment 6 by the tab to activate the body fat scale.

2. Clean the body fat scale (see chapter "Cleaning and maintenance").

Setting your personal data

Set the personal data in order to display the percentage of body water, body fat, muscle and bone mass. You do not have to set your personal data if you only want to weigh yourself.

You can save 12 different data records. They include:

- gender,

- height (cm/in),

- athlete mode,

- desired unit of measure (kilogram (kg), pound (lb) or stones (st:lb)).

- age,

Select the athlete mode if you are an athlete and perform more than 10 hours of intense exercise every week and have a resting pulse of under 60 beats per minute.

1. Use the On/Off button 2 to switch the body fat scale on.
2. Push the "SET" button 3.

The memory slot "1" will appear on the display 5.

1. Use the arrow buttons 4 to select the desired memory slot and confirm your selection with the "SET" button.
2. Then use the arrow buttons to make the desired selection when asked for the aforementioned personal data; confirm each selection with the "SET" button.

The body fat scale will then display the set personal data. The weight reading "0" will appear on the display (see Fig. E).

You can now use the body fat scale and all its functions.

Operation

WARNING!

Risk of slipping!

If the body fat scale or your feet are wet or you have applied lotion to them, you could slip on the body fat scale and injure yourself.

• Make sure that your feet are not wet and that you have not applied lotion to them.
• If there is water on the standing surface of the body fat scale, wipe it dry before you use the body fat scale.

CAUTION!

Risk of injury!

If you do not use the body fat scale properly, there is an increased risk of injury.

• Do not use the body fat scale
• if you are pregnant,
• if have a pacemaker,
• if you are ill or have a fever,
• if your legs are swollen or you have an edema,
  • for children under 6 years of age.

Tips for the measurement process

• If you perform an analysis of your body directly after a meal, higher measurements may be displayed.
• Women may experience fluctuations in the measurements in connection with their menstrual cycle.
• If e.g. you have lost a significant amount of body water as the result of illness or physical exertion, the measurements may be falsified. Wait at least 8 hours before you perform the body analysis.

• The measurements may vary or be falsified if you

• suffer from osteoporosis,
  • undergo dialysis treatment,
  • take cardiovascular medications,
  • have thick calluses on the soles of your feet,
  • are an athlete or body builder,
  • are under 17 years of age,

• are an athlete and perform more than 10 hours of intense exercise on a weekly basis and have a resting pulse of less than 60 beats per minute. If this is the case, use the athlete mode.

- We recommend performing a body analysis in the morning after you get up. This will provide you with the most reliable measuring results.

- Do not perform a body analysis if you have just taken a bath. Otherwise, the body water percentage will be too high and the body fat percentage will be too low.

Measuring your body weight

You can use the body fat scale without having to enter personal data. In this case, only your body weight will be measured. To use the other functions, please enter your personal data (see chapter "Setting your personal data").

1. Activate the body fat scale by stepping on the standing surface 1.
2. Step off of the standing surface before the reading on the display blinks and "0" appears on the display.
3. Set the desired unit of measure by pushing the "SET" button 3 until the desired unit of measure appears on the display 5.
   You only have to perform this step the first time you use the body fat scale. Afterwards, the unit of measure will be automatically saved.
4. Step on the standing surface. Your weight in the previously set unit of measure will appear on the display (see Fig. D).

If you do not push any of the buttons for approx. 10 seconds, the body fat scale will automatically deactivate.

Performing a body analysis

1. Use the On/Off button 2 to switch the body fat scale on.
2. Wait until the weight reading "0" appears on the display 5.
3. Use the arrow buttons 4 to select the desired memory slot (see Fig. E).
4. Step barefoot onto the standing surface 1 and make sure your feet touch the metal plates on the standing surface.
   Your body weight will appear on the display in the preset unit of measure.
5. If you remain on the standing surface, the readings for body water, body fat, required calories as well as muscle and bone mass will be calculated automatically and shown for approximately 3 seconds (see Fig. F and G).
   The sum of the measurements may exceed 100 % as there is water stored in body fat and muscles. Body fat and muscle mass are also measured in the process.

The measurements will be performed several times. Then the body fat scale will automatically deactivate.

Interpreting the measurements

The following tables will help you to properly assess the measurements shown.

Body water

• If you lose 5% of your body water, your physical energy may decline by 20 to 30%. You should therefore drink at least 70.4 fl oz of water every day.
• Athletes generally have a higher percentage of body water.
• The percentage of body water decreases with age.

The adult human body is made up of approx. 60 % water.

If the percentage of body fat increases, the percentage of body water decreases. This is because body water is stored outside the fat cells of the body and fatty tissue generally has a very low percentage of water.

	Women (%) Men (%)
Children > 58 > 60
Adults > 52 > 58
Athletes > 56 > 60

Body fat

- Consult a physician if your body fat is too high or too low.

A high or very high body fat percentage increases the risk of illnesses like diabetes, heart disease and high blood pressure. A low body fat percentage increases the risk of metabolic disorders. The subcutaneous fatty tissue and the body create fat stores to protect internal organs and safeguard metabolic functions.

• The body fat percentage increases with age.
• If you would like to reduce your weight, you must build more muscle at the same time. We need muscles in order to burn excess energy or fat stores.
