Important

• Read these directions for use carefully in order to obtain accurate measuring results.
  These scales are suitable for weights up to 150kg
  This product is not a medical device. It is intended for home use. It is not intended for professional use in hospitals or other medical institutions.
  If you are pregnant, we advise you to only measure your weight and not to use the body fat indicator, as this will give a distorted picture.
  The body fat indicator is not suitable for children under the age of 7.
• The scales may give wrong fat percentage readings with (semi-)professional sportsmen/sportswomen. Their proportion of muscle to fat tissue may deviate too much from that of average people.
  In case of doubt, consult a doctor.

Before first use

• Remove the red protection strip from the batteries on the back of the scales.

Preparing the appliance for use

Place the scales on a solid and level floor.
- Use the scales on a smooth floor. If the scales are used on a deep-pile carpet, this may cause a slight deviation in the values measured.
Always weigh at the same time and under the same conditions. For example, weigh before breakfast in the morning without any clothes on.
- Stand on the scales with both feet and do not move so as to ensure an even weight distribution.
Do not lean on anything while you are standing on the scales, as this will result in an incorrect reading.

Usage options

The scales can be used in various ways, depending on the user and the kind of feedback that is needed.

Weighing without body fat percentage.
Weighing with body fat percentage in the free mode.

• Weighing with body fat percentage using personal values from the memory.

The next sections contain information on how to use the various options.

Using the appliance

Weighing without body fat indication

1 Tap the scales with your foot to activate them.
Do not step onto the scales right away but look at the display and wait.

2 As soon as the indication 0.0kg stops blinking, you can step onto the scales.

The weight indicated on the display mounts until the final value is reached. This final weight blinks two times and is then displayed continuously.

3 The scales will switch off automatically.

Weighing with body fat percentage in the free mode

Anyone can use the free mode, indicated by 'free' on the display. The data that are input will not be stored.
If you want to measure your fat percentage regularly, it is more convenient to store your personal data in one of the four memories. (See section 'Using the memory function').

1 Push the 'set' button to activate the body fat indicator function. The display will go on and a blinking cursor appears below the setting 'free'.

2 Push the 'set' button once again to activate the 'free mode'. (If you do not push the set button, the display will automatically switch after 5 seconds to the menu in which you have to input your height).

Push [+] or [-] to input your height. Confirm the data by pushing the 'set' button.
Push [+] or [-] to input your age. Confirm the data by pushing the 'set' button.
Push [+] or [-] to select your sex. Confirm this choice by pushing the 'set' button.

If you do not confirm the data by pushing the 'set' button, the scales will show the next menu 5 seconds after you have input the last data.
6 All data you have input will appear on the display.
7As soon as the indication 0.0kg stops blinking, you can step onto the scales.

8 The scales first show your weight and then your fat percentage. Next the fat indicator appears showing your fat percentage in relation to the recommended percentage.
9 The scales will switch off automatically.

Using the memory function

If you want to measure your fat percentage regularly, it is more convenient to store your data (height, age and sex) in one of the four memories. In this way you avoid having to input your data again each time you want to measure you fat percentage.

1 Push the 'set' button to activate the body fat indicator function. The display will go on and a cursor appears below the setting 'free'.

2 Use the [+] or [-] button to switch to one of the memories indicated by 1 up to 4 at the top of the display within 5 seconds.
If you do not switch to one of the memories within 5 seconds, the height input menu of the free mode function will appear on the screen.
3 Push the 'set' button within 3 seconds to input or change your personal data.
If you do not make any changes in the data stored in the memory selected, the scales will automatically switch to the measuring function after 3 seconds.
Push [+] or [-] to input or change your height. Confirm the data by pushing the 'set' button.
5 Push [+] or [-] to input or change your age. Confirm the data by pushing the 'set' button.

7 All data you have input or changed will appear on the display.
As soon as the indication 0.0kg stops blinking, you can step onto the scales.

2 Use the [+] or [-] button to switch to one of the memories indicated by 1 up to 4 at the top of the display within 5 seconds.

The screen will show the data stored (height, age and sex). After 3 seconds the indication 0.0kg on the display will start blinking.

3 As soon as the indication 0.0kg stops blinking, you can step onto the scales.

4 The scales first show your weight and then your fat percentage. Next the fat indicator will appear showing your fat percentage in relation to the recommended percentage.
5 The scales will switch off automatically.

Interpretation of body fat percentages

The body fat percentage is calculated by means of a bio-algorithm, based on scientific research comprising over 40 clinical studies.

The fat indicator bar below the display gives you an indication of your body fat. It shows whether your body fat percentage is:

• low: 1-2 dashes.
• normal: 3-6 dashes.
• (very) high: 7-10 dashes.

The graphs below show in detail how the body fat percentages of males and females in different age groups should be interpreted.

	Low	Normal	High	Very high
MALE<39	<8	8-20	20-25	>25
Age40-59	<11	11-22	22-28	>28
>60	<13	13-25	25-30 >30

	Low	Normal	High	Very high
FEMALE<39	<21	21-33	33-39	>39
Age40-59	<23	23-34 34-40	>40
>60	<24	24-36	36-42	>42

To gain an insight into your body fat percentage, we suggest that you keep track of your body fat percentage over a period of time. Weighing should take place under identical conditions to ensure valid comparisons. The ideal time to weigh is before breakfast in the morning and you should not wear any clothes while weighing. Slight variations in weight are normal, for instance due to drinking fluids.
