Initial use5

Inserting the batteries

Please remove the plastic insulating strip and/or position the batteries correctly with regards to polarity. If the scale fails to operate, remove the batteries completely and reinsert them.

Changing the weight unit

The scale shows the values in kg. You can set the device to measure in kilograms, or in pounds "LB" and stones "ST", using the button at the back of the device.

Setting up the scale

Set up the scale on a level and solid surface.

Information6

General tips

If possible, always weigh yourself at the same time of day (preferably in the morning), after using the toilet, on an empty stomach and unclothed, in order to achieve comparable results.

Important for the measurement: only measure body fat when barefoot and with the soles of the feet slightly moist. Completely dry soles 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.

Limitations

When measuring body fat and other values, deviating and implausible results may occur in: children under approx. 10 years,

competitive athletes and body builders,•

pregnant women,•

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

- persons taking cardiovascular medication (affecting the heart and vascular system), persons taking vascular dilating or vascular constricting medication,

persons with considerable anatomic deviations of the legs in relation to total body size • (length of the legs considerably shortened or lengthened).

7 Settings

The scales include the following features:

Athlete mode

Athletes have a specific metabolism and a higher muscle density, which means that resistance in the body is increased. So that this higher resistance is not measured as fat, athletes must set the scales to a special mode that carefully factors this in.

Children and teenager mode

Measurement of body fat and body water which is suited to children and teenagers of ten years and over.

Target weight analysis

A new, additional feature is the ability to enter a target weight. This means that progress is monitored and calculated automatically by the scales with each weighing; a percentage is then presented on the display in chart form. At each weighing, the last-recorded weight is also displayed.

Enter your personal information before using the scale.

Setting user data

You must enter personal user parameters in order to measure your body fat percentage and other physical data.

The scale has 10 user memory locations which allows, for example, you and your family members to save personal settings and retrieve them later.

Evaluation of results9

Body fat percentage

The body fat values are shown in the display. The following body fat percentages are guide values (contact your physician for further information).

Man Woman

70-100	<23	23-28	28.1-33	>33.1

A lower value is often found in athletes. Depending on the type of sports, training intensity and physical constitution, values may result which are below the recommended values stated. It should, however, be noted that there could be a danger to health in the case of extremely low values.

Body water percentage

The body water percentage is normally within the following ranges:

Man

Age	poor	good	very good
10-100	<50	50-65	>65

Woman

Age	poor	good	very good
10-100	<45	45-60	>60

Body fat contains relatively little water. Therefore persons with a high body fat percentage have body water percentages below the recommended values. With endurance athletes, however, the recommended values could be exceeded due to low fat percentages and high muscle percentage.

This scale is unsuitable for measuring body water in order to draw medical conclusions concerning age-related water retention, for example. If necessary ask your physician. Basically, a high body water percentage should be the aim.

Bone mass

Like the rest of our body, our bones are subject to the natural development, degeneration and ageing processes. Bone mass increases rapidly in childhood and reaches its maximum between 30 and 40 years of age. Bone mass reduces slightly with increasing age. You can reduce this degeneration somewhat with healthy nutrition (particularly calcium and vitamin D) and regular exercise. With appropriate muscle building, you can also strengthen your bone structure. Note that this scale will not show you the calcium content of your bones, but will measure the weight of all bone constituents (organic substances, inorganic substances and water). Little influence can be exerted on bone mass, but it will vary slightly within the influencing factors (weight, height, age, gender). no recognised guidelines or recommendations relating to bone mass measurement.

Attention:

Please do not confuse bone mass with bone density.

Bone density can be determined only by means of a medical examination (e.g. computer tomography, ultrasound). It is therefore not possible to draw conclusions concerning changes to the bones and bone hardness (e.g. osteoporosis) using this scale.

Results in relation to time

Remember that only long-term trends are important. Short-term fluiduations in weight over a few days are usually the result of a loss of fluid.

The interpretation of the results reflects changes in total body weight, percentage of body fat and body water as well as muscle density, and takes into account the length of time over which these changes take place. Sudden changes within days must be distinguished from medium term changes (over weeks) and long term changes (months).

A basic rule is that short term changes in weight almost exclusively represent changes in water content, whereas medium and long term changes may also involve the fat and muscle percentages.

If your weight reduces over the short term, but your body fat percentage increases or re-• mains the same, you have merely lost water – e.g. after a training session, sauna session or a diet restricted only to rapid weight loss.

If your weight increases over the medium term and the body fat percentage falls or stays the same, then you could have built up valuable muscle mass.

• If your weight and body fat percentage fall simultaneously then your diet is working – you are losing fat mass.
• Ideally you should support your diet with physical activity, fitness or power training. This way you can increase your muscle percentage over the medium term.

Body fat, body water or muscle percentages should not be added (certain elements of muscle tissue also contain body water).

Replacing batteries10

The batteries in the scales must be replaced if the message “Lo” appears in the display. If the batteries are too flat, then the scales will switch off automatically.

Storage and maintenance11

The precision of the measurements and service life of the device depends on its careful handling:

Important:

The unit should be cleaned occasionally. Do not use abrasive detergents and never • immerse the unit in water.

Make sure that no liquids come into contact with the scales. Never submerge the • scales in water. Never rinse them in running water.

Do not stand any objects on the scales when not in use.

Protect the scales from knocks, damp, dust, chemicals, drastic changes in temperature, electromagnetic fi elds and nearby sources of heat (ovens, heaters). Do not press the buttons violently or with pointed objects.

Do not wash the unit in a dishwasher!

Disposal12

Standard and rechargeable batteries should not be disposed of separately from the household waste. As a consumer, you are legally obliged to return used batteries for proper disposal. You can hand in your used batteries at public collection points in your district or sales outlets where batteries of this type are sold.

What if there are problems?13

If the scale detects and error when measuring, the following is displayed.

Display Cause Remedy
EE The maximum	load capacity of 180 kg was exceeded.	Do not load the unit with over 180 kg.
Lo The batteries are almost empty. Replace the batteries
EE The electrical resistance between the electrodes and the sole of your foot is too high (e.g. if you have tough calluses).		Repeat the measurement barefoot. If necessary, moisten the soles of your feet slightly. If necessary, remove the calluses from the soles of your feet.
		The fat percentage is outside the measurable range (less than 5% or greater than 50%).
		The water percentage is outside the measurable range (less than 36% or greater than 70%).
		The muscle and bone percentages are outside the measurable range (age and gender related).

No measurement possible

Possible errors Remedy
The scale was not activated before you stood on it. If you step on the scale before “0.0 KG” is displayed, the scale will not work correctly.	Activate the scale correctly (wait for “0.0 KG”) and repeat the measurement.
The batteries in the scale are empty. Replace the batteries.

Incorrect weight measurement

Possible errors Remedy
Scale is on carpeting. Place the scale on a level and solid surface.
Incorrect zero point of scale. Activate the scale, wait approximately 4 seconds, repeat measurement.
