1.1 Thank you very much

Thank you for your confidence in us and congratulations!

The PSC personal scales with body analysis functionality which you have purchased are a top quality product from MEDISANA.

This unit is intended for weighing and calculating the proportion of body fat, water content and muscle mass in people.

In order to achieve the desired effect with your MEDISANA Personal scales PSC with body analysis functionality in the long term, we recommend that you read the following information on its use and maintenance carefully.

1.2 Important

Please read the following safety information carefully before using the device and keep these instructions in a safe place for later use.

• Any treatment or diet for people who are underweight or overweight requires the qualified advice of a professional (doctor, dietician). The values determined with the scales may be source of useful support.
• This device is not suitable for pregnant women!
• These scales are not suitable for people with pacemakers or other medical implants. The body fat information may be inaccurate in people with diabetes or other medical/physical limitations. The same also applies to very highly trained athletes.
• Risk of tipping over!
  Do not place the scale on an uneven surface.
  Do not stand on the corners/edges of the scale.
  When weighing yourself, do not stand on one side or the edge of the scales.
• Risk of slipping!
  Do not stand on the scale with wet feet. Do not stand on the scale wearing socks
• Use the device only according to its intended purpose as specified in the instruction manual.
• The warranty will be invalidated if the device is used for purposes other than those for which it is intended.
• The scale has been manufactured for domestic use. It is not suitable for commercial use in hospitals or other medical institutions.
• Do not use the device if it is not working correctly, if it has been dropped or has fallen into water or has been damaged.
• The scales have a measuring range up to 180 kg, 400 lbs. Do not overload the scales.
• Place the scales on a firm, level base. Soft, uneven surfaces are unsuitable for the measuring process and lead to incorrect results.
• Do not use the scale in a location where extremely high temperatures or humidity may occur.
• Keep the scale away from water.

2.2 Why is it important to know how much body fat you have?

The human body is made up amongst other things of water, fat and muscle mass. A fat proportion which is too high or too low may lead to increased health risks. The personal scales with body analysis functionality provide useful support in motivating someone to reach or maintain the best possible body weight by monitoring the proportion of body fat.

2.3 How does the scale with body analysis functionality work?

The scale measures using BIA (Bio-electrical Impedance Analysis). When you step onto the metal plates barefoot, extremely weak electrical current is passed into your body. The scale weighs the difference between these signals. The measurements are used in combination with personal data such as age, gender, height and weight to calculate the amount of body fat.

2.4 Prerequisites for correct measuring results

NOTES

Excessive drinking, eating, training, medical treatment, the female menstrual cycle etc. affect the measuring results. The body fat, water content and muscle measurements will be incorrect for women during pregnancy.

Reliable measurements can only be achieved under certain prerequisites:

• Always measure barefoot.
- The feet must have a good contact with the electrodes on the standing area.
- Stand upright.
- Carry out the measurement approximately 15 minutes after getting up, or after bathing or showering, with towel-dried feet.
- Please measure at the same time of day if possible.
- Do not measure after strenuous physical exercise. Wait at least an hour before measuring.
- There must not be any dirt stuck to the soles of your feet. Erroneous measuring results may occur if the soles of your feet are dry or extremely callused.

The amount of body fat, water content and muscle mass can only be reliably monitored using the measurements if they are taken consistently. Measurements that are taken under varying conditions can return different values.

NOTES

The information in the tables is for orientation purposes only. If you have any questions about your proportion of body fat, please consult your doctor.

3.5 Weighing and measuring body fat, water content and muscle mass

NOTE

Reliable measurements can only be achieved under certain circumstances, as described in "2.4 Prerequisites for correct measuring results", p. 12.

1. Place the scales on a firm, hard surface. All four feet must be in contact with the floor.
2. Touch the Start button ⑦ and keep it pressed down until your preset number appears in the display. The readings last stored for you appear: weight, body fat, body water and body muscle. Before the first measurement, "888" appears in the display. After 2 seconds, "0.0" appears in the display.
3. Step onto the scales with bare feet and stand still. Place your feet on the electrodes ⑧. First, your weight is displayed. A moving “☐” then appears in the display, indicating that your body fat, water and muscle are now being automatically measured. When the “☐” disappears from the display, your total body fat (TBF), body water (TBW) and body muscle (TBM) are displayed.

Displays

TBF (Total Body Fat) = measured body fat fat overweight normal slim

TBW (Total Body Water) = measured body water

TBM (Total Body Muscle) = measured body muscle

1. The measurement is complete. Step down from the scales.
2. The display ① once again shows – in succession – the measured body fat, body water and body muscle. Then the scales switch off automatically.
