Information on Measuring Body Fat

WARNING:

Do not use the scales if you use a pacemaker or another medical implant with electronic components. The function of the implant may be impaired by the measurement.

NOTE:

The device can only function correctly if you stand on the contact surfaces with bare, dry feet!

The main principle of this device is based on the measurement of the electric impedance within the human body. In order to determine the actual body data, the device leads a weak, unnoticeable electric signal through your body.

The signal is generally safe! However, please read our special safety instructions!

The method of measurement is referred to as "bioelectric impedance analysis" (BIA), a factor which is based on the relationship between body weight and associated body water percentages as well as on other biological data (age, gender, body weight).

There are heavy persons with a well-balanced percentage between fat and muscle mass, and there are seemingly slim persons with significantly high body fat values. Fat is a factor that puts serious strain on the body, in particular the cardiovascular system. Therefore, controlling both values (fat and weight) is a prerequisite for health and fitness.

Body Fat

Body fat is an important component of the body. From protecting the joints as a vitamin repository to regulating the body temperature, fat plays a vital role in the body. Thus the goal is not to radically reduce the proportion of body fat, but rather to achieve and maintain a healthy balance between muscle and fat.

The Importance of Water for our Health

Approximately fifty-five to sixty percent of the human body consists of water, depending on age and gender in varying amounts.

Water has to fulfill several tasks within the body:

• It is the building block of our cells. That means that all the cells in our body, whether skin cells, gland cells, muscle cells, brain cells or others, are functional only if they contain enough water.
• It is a solvent for important substances in our body.
• It is a means of conveyance for nutrients, the body's own substances and metabolic products.

Reference values for your fitness profile can be seen in the benchmark table. It shows the dependency of body fat data on age and gender. Always pay attention to your body's water balance, which, as well as the fat level, undergoes strong fluctuations throughout the day. Therefore, to obtain consistent data, always measure at the same time of day.

The calculated results of the body fat and water level should only be considered as reference values. They are not recommended to be used for medical purposes. Please always consult a doctor if you have questions about a medical treatment or a diet in order to achieve a normal body weight.

• Switch the scales on by applying gentle pressure to the surface with your foot or toe.
• Press the UNIT button until the desired unit of weight is displayed. The unit for the height also automatically changes.

Weighing Function

• Place the scale on a hard, flat surface (avoid carpets). An uneven floor contributes to inaccurate measurements.
• Stand on the scales with both feet. The device switches on automatically.
• Distribute your weight equally and wait for the scale to determine your weight.
• The digits on the display will flash before your exact weight will be shown.
• In order to extend the battery life, the device will automatically turn off 10 seconds after you have stepped off the scale.

Saving Personal Data

i NOTE:

• The scale has default values that you can change, as described below.
• Carry out the following steps in sequence and within a few seconds. Otherwise, the device will automatically cancel input mode.
• Press the button SET. The memory space will flash on the display (USER). Confirm the setting by pressing SET or select another memory space by pressing the UP / DOWN button. Then press SET to go to the next setting.
• The symbol for "male" or "female" will flash. Confirm the setting by pressing SET or use the UP / DOWN button to choose the symbol for your gender. Then press SET to go to the next setting.
• The height setting will flash. Select your height by pressing UP or DOWN button. Holding down one of the buttons will accelerate the process. Confirm your entry by pressing SET.
• The setting AGE will flash. Select your age by pressing UP or DOWN button. Holding down one of the buttons will accelerate the process. Confirm your entry by pressing SET.
• The default symbol for the "unathletic" type flashes. Which type do you consider yourself to be? Select your

type using the UP or DOWN button: "unathletic", "average" or "athletic". Confirm your selection with SET.

- If only the stored position and the display 0.0 kg (0.0 lb/0:0 st) is still shown, input mode for this stored position is completed.

You now have the following options:

• You can change the units for weight and type. Press the UNIT button until the desired unit of weight is displayed. The unit for the height automatically changes.
• Press the SET button to see the selected settings again.
• Allocate further memory spaces. There are 10 spaces available in total. Press SET and change the space by pressing the UP or DOWN button. Proceed further as described above.
• If you want to make changes, press SET (USER flashes). Select the stored position using the UP or DOWN button. Proceed further as described above.
• You can immediately start measuring.

Measurement and Analysis

Record your personal data in the memory.

NOTE:

• The device can only function correctly if you stand on the device with bare, dry feet!
• If necessary, wipe the contact surfaces to improve results.
• Due to the significant fluctuation of body fat, it is difficult to attain a standard value. On average, the optimal testing time is between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m., since the body fat remains very consistent during this period of time.

- Press the SET button. The preset stored position data appears on the display (USER flashes). Use the UP / DOWN button to select the stored position at which your data is saved.

- Wait for the USER display and 0.0 kg (0.0 lb/st) to stop flashing.

- Stand on the contact surfaces (4) of the scales with both feet.

- Firstly, your weight will flash on the display.

- After a few seconds, the following results will be shown:

1. the body fat content in % (symbol)
2. the body water content in % (symbol)
3. the results analysis in the form of a bar
4. the muscle mass content in % (symbol)

- the bone mass content in % (× symbol)

- the calorie requirement per day

1. The preset gender

- The preset type

- The preset height

- The preset age (AGE)

- The weight gain (INCREASE) / the weight loss (DECREASE) in kg (lb/st) in comparison to the previous measurement

- Afterwards the determined data will be shown repeatedly. Then the scale will automatically turn off.

Display error Messages

i NOTE:

If an error message appears on the display, wait until the device is turned off. Turn it on again to restart the operation. If the error display has not disappeared, take the batteries out of the battery compartment for 10 seconds.

Display symbol Meaning
