2 | INTERESTING FACTS

Weighing correctly

If possible, always weighs yourself at the same time of day (ideally in the morning), after going to the toilet, on an empty stomach and without clothes to achieve comparable results. Minor deviations are normal. When you drink 1 glass of water for example a difference of 300 grams can occur. Place the scale on a firm, flat surface; a firm floor covering is a basic requirement for correct weight measurement.

Your scale is an accurate instrument. The human body is the hardest thing to weigh, because it is always in motion. Therefore a 99% accuracy of the body weight is the highest possible. Stand on the scale without moving and with equal weight distribution on both feet! Do not underestimate the weight of clothing and when you have just eaten or drunken anything. Only the long-term trend counts.

The measuring principle of the BMI scale

Body Mass Index (BMI) states the relation between weight and lenght according to the calculation body weight in kilogram divided by the square of the body lenght in meter. BMI = body weight (kg) / body length ()^2

For instance: a person weighs 75 kilograms and has a lenght of 1,80m . The BMI will be: 75 / (1,8× 1,8) = 23

The limits for BMI defined by WHO - World Helath Organization.

Classification Index	kg/m2) - BMI
underweight less than 17,5
mild thinness less than 18,5
normal weight 18,50-24,99
overweight 25,00-29,99
Obese more than 30

3BEFORE FIRSTUSE

Before you use the appliance for the first time, please do as follows: carefully unpack the appliance and remove all the packaging material. Keep the material (plastic bags and cardboard) out of reach of children. Check the appliance after unpacking for any damage, possible from transportation. Place the scale on a firm, flat surface.

Remove the batteries from the protective packaging and insert with the correct polarity. See the diagram inside the battery compartment.

Press the UNIT button on the back of the scale to select the correct measuring unit (kg/st/lb).

kg = kilograms

lb = pounds

st = stone

Place the scale on a flat and stable surface and wait for the scale to turn itself off.

4 | CALCULATING WEIGHT + Bmi

You must enter personal user parameters in order to measure your body fat percentage and other physical data. The scale has 4 memory positions in which you and other members of your family can save and retrieve personal settings.

Now you can enter the following setting:

Memory position (P) 1 to 4
Body size 100 to 220 cm

• Press the SET key when the display is switched off to change the setting. The first memory position P1 flashes on the display. To select the correct user, press the or keys and press the SET key again to confirm.
• After you have entered the correct user, the indication for body size (height) will blink (preset 165 cm). To set your own height press the or keys and press the SET key again to confirm. To switch between cm and ft press the UNIT button on the back of the scale.

After all parameters have been entered, you can now measure your weight and BMI. The display will show 0,0kg .

TIP: To reset a memory position for another user perform the same steps as described above. All positions are preset.

5 | WEIGH ONLY

The scale has a step-on function. Step barefoot onto the

scale. Stand still with your weight distributed evenly on both legs. The scale will start measuring your weight immediately and a short time later will display your weight. When you step off the scale it will turn off after a few seconds.

6 | TIPS

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.

• If possible, always weighs yourself at the same time of day (ideally in the morning), after going to the toilet, on an empty stomach and without clothes to achieve comparable results.
• Stand still during the measurement.
• Wait several hours after unusually strenuous activity.
• Wait approx. 15 minutes after getting out of bed so that the water in your body can be distributed.

7 | INCORRECT MEASUREMENTS

If the scale detects an error during measurement, this is indicated with ----.

Possible causes of errors Causes of error

The maximum load-bearing capacity of 180kg (396 lbs) was exceeded ----

Only weigh the maximum permissible weight.

8 | CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

The scale should be cleaned occasionally.

Dirt and dust has a tendency to collect on the rubber electrodes. Always stand on the scale barefoot or wearing socks as the rubber surfaces will quickly become dirty if you wear shoes. Use a damp cloth to clean the scale. Do not use abrasive detergents and never immerse the scale in water.

• Do not use aggressive solvents or cleaning agents!
• Never immerse the scale in water or any other liquids.
• Handle the scale with care, protect the scale from impact with hard object and do not drop it.

Your scale is fitted with a change battery indicator. If the scale is operating with batteries which are too weak,

Lo appears on the display and the scale will switch off automatically. In this case, the batteries must be exchanged (2 x CR2032, 3V). If necessary please use a small screwdriver to remove the batteries.

Batteries can contain toxins that are harmful to health and the environment. The used, completely drained standard and rechargeable batteries must be disposed of in specially marked collection containers, at toxic waste collection points or electrical product retailers. You are legally obligated to dispose of the batteries.

Note: Batteries containing pollutants are marked with the following symbols: Pb = Battery contains lead, Cd = Battery contains cadmium, Hg = Battery containers mercury.
