INTRODUCTION The TERRAILLON body fat scale is designed and manufactured in a facility certified ISO 9001 Quality, ISO14001 Environment, OHSAS 18001 Health and Safety Management Systems. The scale uses the method of Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) to estimate body fat and total body water. Read this instruction manual carefully and keep it handy for future reference.

Please read this section carefully to familiarize yourself with features and operations before using the unit. s4HEWARNINGSIGNSANDTHESAMPLEICONSSHOWNHEREARELISTEDINORDERFORYOUTOUSETHISPRODUCTSAFELYAND CORRECTLYASWELLASTOPREVENTPRODUCTDAMAGERISKANDINJURYTOYOUOROTHERS Notice Fitness Coach.indd 14 26/01/11 16:02:51Ready mode Memory mode Male icon Female icon Height icon Weight Body fat icon Body water icon Body Fat and Body Water Indication Bar

is set properly for proper function (the polarity as indicated inside the battery compartment cover). If you do not intend to use this unit for a long period of time, it is advisable to remove the batteries before storage.

WARNING! Point number 4 must be followed every time the batteries are changed or the scale is repositionned.

Place the scale on a flat and hard floor surface.

4. Start-up The Scale

Press lightly on the scale platform to start-up the scale, the display shows and then turn off. The scale is ready for use. OPERATION The accuracy of the results depends on how you stand on the scale. Position your feet in such a way that the MAXIMUMAMOUNTOFCONTACTPOSSIBLEISACHIEVEDBETWEENTHEMANDTHEMETALELECTRODESONTHEPLATFORM3TAY on the scale until the body fat estimation is completed and the result is displayed.

Measured body fat percentage is beyond the technical limit. Moisten your feet may help to improve the electrical contact.

8. The message display “Err 5” when measuring body fat and body water values?

Percentage total body water is out of range. Moisten your feet may help to improve the electrical contact.

1. Why is it important to monitor percentage body fat (%BF)?

Weight is a useful indicator but not sufficient to monitor your health. Weight change in itself does not indicate whether it was the weight of body fat or muscle that had changed. In weight management, it is desirable that muscle mass be maintained while body fat is lost. Thus, monitoring the percentage fat of the body is an important step toward successful weight management and body health. The optimal %BF of an individual varies according to age and gender. The table as follows may be used as a guide: Notice Fitness Coach.indd 21 26/01/11 16:02:52TERRAILLON BODY FAT SCALE – INSTRUCTION MANUAL

The table as follows may be used as a guide: % Body Fat Range Optimal % total Body Water Range Men 4 to 14 % 70 to 63 % 15 to 21 % 63 to 57 % 22 to 24 % 57 to 55 % 25 % and over 55 to 37 % Women 4 to 20 % 70 to 58 % 21 to 29 % 58 to 52 % 30 to 32 % 52 to 49 % 33 % and over 49 to 37 %

2. How is percentage body fat (%BF) estimated?

%BF is measured by a method called Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA). With the BIA technology, a low intensity electrical signal is sent through the body. The signal is very low and causes no bodily harm. Depending on the amount of body fat of the individual, the electrical signal will flow with a different degree of difficulty. The difficulty with which a signal flows through the body is called electrical impedance. Hence, by measuring the electrical impedance and applying to the data a proprietary algorithm, %BF can be estimated. Please be reminded that the %BF estimated with the scale represents only a good approximation of your actual body fat. There exist clinical methods of estimating body fat that can be ordered by your physician. 3 .

The amount of water in the body fluctuates with the hydration level of the body and state of health. Monitoring the level of body water can be a useful tool for one’s health maintenance.

For better accuracy, avoid fluctuation in hydration level prior to the measurement. The accuracy of the scale in estimating TBW will also decrease with individuals suffering from diseases that tend to accumulate water in the body. The optimal %TBW of an individual varies according to age and gender. Please be reminded that the % TBW estimated with the scale represents only a good approximation of your TBW.

value to the population’s normal value.

5. Why is the Athlete Mode necessary in a Body Fat Analyzer?

It has been found that body fat estimation using BIA could overestimate the percentage body fat of adult elite athletes. The physiological variation of athletes in bone density and level of hydration are two of the reasons said to account for the difference. The Athlete mode is selectable only for adults of 18 years of age or older.
