Inserting the batteries

Please remove the battery insulating strips and/or position the batteries correctly with regards to the polarity displayed in the battery compartment (as symbol ⭕). 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 adjust the device between kilograms, pounds - "lb" - and stones - "st:lb" - using the button located on the rear.

Setting up the scale

Set up the scale on a level and solid surface. A solid surface is a prerequisite for a correct measurement.

Information6

The measuring principle

This scale operates according to the B.I.A. principle (bioelectric impedance analysis). This enables the measurement of physical relationships within seconds by means of an undetectable, completely harmless electric current. The body fat percentage and other physical relationships in the body can be determined by measuring the electrical resistance (impedance) and calculating constants and individual parameters such as age, height, gender and degree of activity.

Muscle tissue and water have good electrical conductivity, and therefore lower resistance. Bones and fatty tissue, on the other hand, have low conductivity as fat cells and bones conduct hardly any current as a result of their very high resistance.

Please be aware that values obtained from the diagnostic scale represent only an approximation of actual analytical medical data. Only a specialist physician can accurately determine body fat, body water, muscle percentage and bone structure using medical procedures (e.g. computed tomography).

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.
  Remember that only long-term trends are important. Short-term changes in weight within a few days are usually caused by a loss of fluid. Body water plays an important role towards our general wellbeing.

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 (due to the amniotic fluid),•

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).

Switch on the scales7

Operation9

Weighing and measuring other body values

To simultaneously weigh yourself and determine other body values:

Switch on the scales and wait until the display shows "0.0kg".

Press the buttons 🔊 or ▼ to select the desired storage space with your saved settings.

Wait until the Code display stops blinking.

Your settings and saved values are displayed in an automatic display sequence. As soon as the display sequence has finished and "0.0 kg" is displayed again, you can step onto the scales to be weighed.

Display of results

The results are automatically displayed in the following sequence:

		kg	000	kg
Current weight1. Calculation procedure2.				Body fat value (BF%) with interpretation

Body water percentage 4. (BW %)

Body muscle ratio (BM %)

After displaying all values, the scales automatically switch off. You will find information on analysis on page 23.

Weighing only

If you only want to calculate your bodyweight, you simply need to switch on the scales. Wait until "0.0 kg" is displayed.

After displaying the weight, the scales automatically switch off.

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). The body fat BF chart also shown on the display (at the bottom) serves only to simplify orientation.

Man BF Woman %

Age	Very low low	normal high	high very		high
≤ 30	4.0-11.0	11.1-15.5	15.6-20.0	20.1-24.5	24.6-60.0
> 30	4.0-15.0	15.1-19.5	19.6-24.0	24.1-28.5	28.6-60.0

BF

Age	Very low low	normal	high very		high
≤ 30 4.0	-16.0	16.1-20.5	20.6-25.0	25.1-30.5	30.6-60.0
> 30 4.0	-20.0	20.1-25.0	25.1-30.0	30.1-35.0	35.1-60.0

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 B% Woman %

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

BW

ery 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.

Remember that only long-term trends are important. Short-term fluctuations 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 batteries11

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.

Note:

When changing batteries, always use batteries of the same type, brand and capacity.

Always replace all batteries simultaneously.

Do not use rechargeable batteries.

Use batteries that are free of heavy metals.

Storage and maintenance12

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.
