Frequently Asked Questions - PD7640 SOLAC

How to set up a user for BIA analysis?

Press SET, select a user number (P1 to P4) with + or -, confirm with SET. Then choose your gender, age, and height the same way. Data will be saved in memory.

What does the error 'Err2%' on the screen mean?

The error indicates a problem with body fat measurement. Check that you are barefoot, your feet are correctly positioned on the electrodes, and the scale surface is dry.

How to change the measurement unit (kg/lb/st)?

Open the battery compartment and set the selector inside to the desired unit: kg, lb, or st.

What to do if the screen shows 'Lo'?

The 'Lo' symbol indicates a low battery. Replace the lithium battery with a new one, respecting polarity.

How to view weighing history?

After a BIA analysis, a scrolling '0' appears. Press SET within 5 seconds, then choose a memory (1 to 5) with + or - to display the last 5 weighings of that user.

Can I use the scale if I am pregnant?

It is not recommended to use the scale during pregnancy. BIA analysis may give inaccurate results. Consult your doctor.

What does 'OL' on the screen mean?

'OL' means overload: the weight exceeds the maximum capacity of 150 kg. Step off immediately to avoid damaging the scale.

How to clean the scale without damaging it?

Use a slightly damp cloth with a mild cleaning agent. Dry thoroughly. Never use abrasive products or solvents, and avoid contact with cosmetics.

Why does the weight not display when I step on the scale?

Make sure the scale shows '0.0' before stepping on. If an error message appears, step off, wait for it to turn off, then try again. Also check that the batteries are properly installed.

Can I use the scale on a rug or carpet?

It is best to place the scale on a hard, flat surface. A rug may reduce accuracy. If you must use it on a rug, make sure it is firm and wrinkle-free.

INTRODUCCIÓN:

Obesity, in other words, abnormal absorption of body fat, is a known risk for people's health: high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, etc. Less serious problems can also be caused by obesity, such as sleep apnoea, sleepiness during the day, etc. With these scales, you can now check your weight and body fat percentage without leaving your home.

These scales use one of the most reliable methods for analysing body composition: BIA (Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis). This system measures the resistance of the body to a small, harmless electrical current, which is carried up through the legs by water and other fluids. The value of this resistance is greater in fatty tissue.

When comparing the impedance with certain information, such as height, weight, age and sex, we can calculate the percentage of body fat.

  • These scales must not be used near flammable fumes.
  • These scales must not be used instead of professional diagnosis apparatus. Please consult your doctor.
• This appliance must not be placed underwater.
• The maximum capacity of the scales is 150 kg. To avoid damage, never try to weigh yourself if you are over this weight.
• Try to distribute your weight over the scales in the same way each time you weigh yourself in order to ensure consistent results.
• Weigh yourself at approximately the same time each day. Food, liquids and your level of activity make your weight vary during the day.
• For more precise results, weigh yourself naked. The average weight of clothes, including shoes, is usually 1-2.5 kg for women and 2.5-3.5 kg for men.
• If you notice any malfunction in the scales, take them to an Authorised Technical Service shop for inspection and repair.
• Do not use the scales with wet feet or when the surface is wet, since you could slip.

OPERATION:

• Before using your scales for the first time, remove the plastic cover. Open the battery's compartment and remove the protection. Inside the battery compartment, there is a selector that can be used to choose the measurement unit Move the selector to the desired measurement unit (Kg / Lb/St).
• Place the scales on a smooth surface. A hard surface gives greater precision. If you place the scales on a surface that is too soft, such as a rug, the folds may affect the precision of the weight shown.
• To start the scales, tap the surface with your foot, or press any key.
• Wait until "0.0" is displayed on the screen.

TRADITIONAL WEIGHING:

• To start the scales, tap the surface with your foot, or press any key.
• Wait until "0.0" is displayed on the screen.
• Stand on the scales whenever "0.0" appears on the screen. Stay standing on the scales until your weight appears. Your stabilised weight will blink thrice.

Note: if you do not wait before getting on the scales, an error will occur. If this happens, get off the scales, wait for them to turn off and start again.

BIA ANALYSIS METHOD:

• To measure your body fat and water levels, it is necessary for you first to enter some personal data. The scales have a 4-unit memory so that you do not have

to perform this operation every time you want to use the scales; every user can record his/her information making it more convenient to use the scales.

- The scales will switch off if no buttons are pressed for 10 seconds.

WEIGHING WITH BIA ANALYSIS

- To start the scales, tap the surface with your foot, or press any key.

- Wait until "0.0" is displayed on the screen.

- Stand on the scales whenever "0.0" appears on the screen. Stay standing on the scales until your weight appears. During the weighing process, your feet must be on the metallic lines.

- After displaying your weight, an "o" will move from left to right. The scales will be carrying out the bio-magnetic impedance analysis, which will calculate your body's fat and water percentage. Please wait and do not get off the scales.

- After completing the analysis, the screen will display the body water and fat values, storing them in the user memory.

- Next, the screen will display an "o" moving from left to right, press the SET button (You have 5 seconds to do so).

- A number will start to flash on the screen (1-5). Press + or - to select the desired memory bank and press SET to confirm the selection. The memory banks that can be selected correspond to the last weights obtained by the user who has carried out the BIA analysis.

- The screen will display all data in your personal memory: weight, percentage body water and fat.

- To assess the results, see the "Reference Tables" section.

- If you used a user number, the screen will show the information from the last time you weighed yourself. This information will be displayed every time you use your user number. You can always request the data for the five last times you weighed yourself, as described in point 7 in this section.

• These scales turn off automatically after ten seconds without use.

POSSIBLE ERRORS:

• "Lo": Low battery. Please replace the batteries.
• "Err2%": body fat percentage error. Make sure you are standing barefoot in the right position and that the surface of the scales is dry.
• "OL": weight overload. The weight exceeds the capacity of the scales (max.: 150Kg)

MAINTENANCE:

• To avoid damage, ensure that the scales do not come into contact with cosmetics or bathroom liquids.
  • To clean them, use a damp cloth and a gentle detergent. Dry the appliance carefully, since moisture could affect the internal parts of the scales. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents as they may damage the display.
