Thank you for your decision to purchase this body high quality analyser scale. Please peruse read this instruction manual prior to first start up and keep this user instruction careful to have this information on hand whenever it is needed.

1. How does the body analyser work?

Through this new revolutionary scale, you will be able to get information about your body composition with reference to your weight, BMI (body mass index), body fat %, body water %, muscle mass %, and bone mass kg. First of all, you have to enter once your personal data like body height, age, gender as well as your activity level under your selected personal memory location. Afterwards a measurement is as simple as on a normal bathroom scale. You have only to push your personal memory location, step on the scale and within a few seconds, your measured values will be indicated. The analysis is based on the measurement of the body's electrical resistance. A low, safe electrical signal passes freely through fluids contained in lean tissue, such as muscle and blood, but meets resistance passing through fat tissue. The body analyser accurately measures the resistance and with reference to your personal data use it to calculate elements of body composition.

2. Conditions to use

If possible, the measurement should be done undressed but always barefoot.

By nature, a body is subject of fluctuations (for example loss of water after taking exercise or after a sauna visit, after a meal, etc.). To enable comparable readings it is important to take the measurements as possible always under the same conditions.

In order to ensure that the results of analysis are accurate and consistent, please keep the measurement conditions constant always at the same daytime. In the morning, directly after you've woken up, your body will be dehydrated and also the majority of fluid will be stored in the central trunk area. This means that the resistance is relatively high because of the poor conductivity in the body. By intensify moving during the day progresses the fluid becomes more evenly distributed through the limbs and increasing the accuracy of the readings. To get a realistic result it is important to take your readings at the same time and under the same conditions every day. The easiest way to stick the rule, measure always in the morning, 15 minutes after you've got up, either before or after you've gone to the bathroom.

In spite of a very low electrical signal, this body analyzer is not suitable for persons with heart pacemaker or other electronic medical implants! There is no risk for persons with none electronic implant for instance a titanium plate in the knee. However, metal conducts the electric current extremely well and therefore the scale implicates the body fat value "beautiful" – means the actual body fat value is higher as indicated. However, tendencies may be determined as well.

Due to menstrual cycle and hormonal changes women experience greater changes in their hydration level. Retaining fluid may cause the weight to fluctuate day-to-day. This

Statutory instructions on battery disposal

Batteries must not be disposed of as household waste. The law requires that you, as consumer, return the waste batteries either to public collection points in your town or village or to any outlet selling batteries of the same kind.

Note:

Batteries are marked as follows:

Li = Battery contains Lithium

Al = Battery contains Alkali

Mn = Battery contains Manganese

CR (Li); AA (Al, Mn); AAA (Al, Mn)

Body fat is not a clear indicator for health. Too high body weight and a too high body fat proportion are linked to the incidence of many civilization diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, etc. Lack of movement and improper nutrition are often the prime course for these diseases. There is an obvious direct relationship between overweight and lack of movement.

A significant part of the human body consists of body water. This body water is differently distributed throughout the whole body. Lean muscle tissue contains approx. 75% body water, blood approx. 83% body water, body fat approx. 25% body water and bones have a water content of about 22%.

The average total body water percentage range for healthy men is between 50 - 65%. The equivalent value for women is approximately 45 - 60% due to the higher body fat content. About two third of the total body water is stored in the cells and is therefore called intra cellular. The other third of the total body water is extra cellular body water.

Women

	slim	normal	slightly overweight	overweight	normal
10-16	<18%	18-28%	29-35%	>35%	57-67%

There are no validated standards for muscle mass.

7. Error Messages

“Lo” = Battery is used up - Please replace the battery with the intended type (1 x CR 2032).

"FFFF" = Overload - The weight exceeds the maximum capacity of 150 kg. Please immediately remove the critical load to avoid load cell damage.

"Err" = Incorrect weighing - / measuring process - For example, the scale is placed unstable or you do not remain stationary on the weighing platform.

will also affect the body fat percentage readings. If the hydration level is high the body fat percentage is slightly less – a less hydration level means the body fat percentage is slightly higher.

There is no healthy risk for pregnancy. The body analyzer is absolutely safe for the mother and her unborn baby. However, due to the changes in water content in the mother's body, the readings should not be interpreted as completely accurate.

ADE Germany takes no responsibility for any damages or losses caused by the use of this body analyzer scale or for Third Party claims. This product is exclusively intended for private use. This product is not designed for commercial or professional use in hospitals or other medical facilities.

There is a little switch at the bottom side of the scale left-hand the battery cover for country specific settings with the option to switch from kg = kilogram to lb = pound or st = stone. Please pay attention to use the scale under consideration of the country specific unit of weight.

4. Weighing function (weight measurement only)

1. Switch-on the scale by using the tap-on-function. For this, tap with your foot shortly on the centre of the scale. The display indicates the signal "8888" and a few seconds later "0.0 kg". Now the scale is ready to use.

If you push the ◀ or ▶ button within 2 seconds after the first complete input, you can directly enter the personal data of a further person. Alternatively, you repeat the complete steps listed below for further entries of personal data.

6. Body Analysis

An analysis is only possible in bare feet. Your personal data must be entered first (please see page 4-5).

1. Switch on the scale by using the tap-on-function. For this, tap with your foot shortly on the centre of the scale. The display indicates the signal "8888" and afterwards "0.0 kg".

2. Select your personal location by using the ◀ or ▶ button. At first, your personal data will be displayed (age, body height, and gender) and shortly after that "0.0 kg" will be indicated.

3. Now, carefully step in bare feet on both stainless steel electrodes of the scale and remain stationary. After the scales levelled-off the symbol "H" will appear.

4. At first, your weight will be indicating. Afterwards, while the measurement is taking place the signal "1-2-3-4" will appear. During this time, remain stationary on the scale.

5. After completion of the measurement your body mass index (BMI), your body fat % (F), your body water % (H), your muscle mass % (N) and your bone mass kg (b) will be shown successively 2 times.

After a few seconds the scale switch-off automatically.

Normal BMI range for men: between 20 and 25 Normal BMI range for women: between 19 and 24 Normal BMI for elder persons: up to 26

The body fat content is shown as the amount of stored fat as a percentage of total body weight. There is no generally accepted set value as this varies significantly according to gender (due to the different build) and age. Body fat is vital for basic body functions. It's protecting organs, cushioning joints, regulating body temperature, storing vitamins and serves the body as energy storage. As essential for women a minimum body fat proportion between 10% and 13% and for men between 10% and 13% is requested with the exception of competitive athletes.
