USER MANUAL JC433 Joycare

Levels of body hydration, lifestyle and daily habits can influence the detection of the percentage of body fat. A detection performed during the early hours of the morning will calculate a higher percentage of fat because after a long nights sleep, the body tends to be dehydrated. For a more accurate reading and in order to compare different detections it is recommendable to use the product at the same hour of the day and under the same conditions.

Before measuring it is important to remember that:

• The percentage could be lower after having taken a bath
• The percentage could be higher after eating or drinking
• Detections could be irregular during a woman's menstrual cycle
• The percentage of water in our body can be reduced after having been ill or after heavy physical activity, as these conditions make us sweat more than usual.

WHAT IS THE PERCENTAGE OF WATER IN THE BODY?

The percentage of water present in the human body corresponds to the quantity of liquids expressed in a percentage, according to the total weight of the individual, and it is calculated using a particular scientific formula, also used by expert dieticians. It is important to know that the water inside our body performs a fundamental function and is in all tissue and body organs: approximately 50-65% of our body is made of water. Thanks to these scales it is possible to keep the percentage of water under control, which is fundamental for correct functioning

of our body. The percentage value of water present in a healthy individual is as follows:

WOMEN from 45-60%

MEN from 50-65%

VARIATION OF THE PERCENTAGE OF WATER THROUGHOUT THE DAY

To obtain a reliable detection it is recommended to measure the percentage of water in the evening (before dinner) as hydration levels are more normal during this hour of the day. In any case, to relate various measurements it is always recommendable to respect established hours. The percentage of water tends to be lower if detected in the morning and this is because the body dehydrates during sleep and above all because during the night liquids tend to concentrate in the torso (whereas during the day thanks to the force of gravity they spread out in a homogeneous manner). Factors that tend to modify the percentage of water are: sleeping, eating and/or drinking, physical activity, having a bath, consumption of medicines, physical conditions and urination.

WHAT IS MUSCLE MASS?

Muscle mass is defined as the complete volume of muscle of the human body. Themuscle system is the all the tissues that permit the locomotion of the organism itself and the flow of internal organic substances such as blood and food. Control of musclemass is especially important for people who have problems with weight and fat. Seeing as the body needs muscle to demolish fat cushions, a reduction of weight can give positive lasting results but only if accompanied by the strengthening of muscles.

IMPORTANTWARNINGS AND SAFETY RULES

The values obtained by this body fatMonitor are indicative data that for no reason whatsoever should replace a doctor's opinion. Do not forget: self-measuring means control, not diagnosis or treatment. Unusual values should always be discussed with your doctor.

Under no circumstances should you modify the dosage of any medicine prescribed by your doctor.

The scales should not be used by:

• People with pacemakers or any other internal device as the weak electric signal could in fact interfere with correct functioning of the device.
• People with oedema, osteoporosis or fever
• People in dialysis
• If taking medicine for cardiovascular problems
• Pregnant women
• Athletes that practise more than 10 hours of intensive training per week
• People who have a resting pulse frequency that is equal to or below 60 beats per minute.

Only use the scales for the intentions indicated in this instruction manual and exclusively for domestic use. Any other type of use is to be considered improper and therefore dangerous. Check that the appliance is whole and is not damaged before use. If in doubt, do not use the product and consult a specialised after sales centre. To not attempt to repair the product yourself, always go to a specialised after sales centre. To avoid any interference it is recommendable to use the product away from appliances with a strong magnetic field.

Never place the scales on wet or slippery surfaces. Never immerse the product in water and never put it away in a damp place. Always keep the product away from sources of heat, direct sunlight, cutting objects or similar objects.

When the appliance is not used for a long time, it is recommendable to remove the battery as leaking of fluids could damage the product. Also, seeing that the quality of batteries varies between models, the warranty does

not cover damage caused by any possible leaking of fluids. Never leave the product unattended when children are present and always put it away out of their reach.
