Attention: The batteries have a life of approx. 1 year if used regularly and are to be changed when this period elapses. Information for body fat measurement People who use a heart pacemaker or another type of medical implant with electronic components are advised not to use these scales, as otherwise the performance of the implant may be impaired or endangered. The device functions correctly if your feet are bare and dry and if you are in standing position. The basic principle of these scales is measurement of the electrical impedance of the body. The scales send a weak, imperceptible electrical signal through your body in order to determine the current values. Under normal circumstances the signal is completely harmless! Nevertheless you should read our special safety instructions! The measurement is known as “biometric impedance analysis“ (BIA), a factor which is associated with the body fat and body water ratio and which is subject to other biological aspects (age, sex, height). There are heavy people with a well-balanced relation between fat and muscular mass and there are apparently slender people with substantially higher body fat values. Fat is a factor that contributes to burdening the body and, in particular, the circulatory system. Te checks of both values (fat and weight) are hence a basic prerequisite for health and fi tness. 6....-05-PW 2982 31 15.02.2005, 12:43:14 UhrENGLISH

Body Fat Body fat is an important part of the body. Fat plays an important role in your body ranging from the protection of joints with its reserve of vitamins to the regulation of the body temperature. The goal is not to reduce drastically the quantity of fat in your body, but to reach and maintain a balanced relation between the muscular mass and the fat mass. The signifi cance of water for our health The human organism consists of approximately 55-60% water, with this quantity varying according to age and sex. Water has a number of tasks to fulfi l in the body:

• It is a building block of our cells. This means that all cells in the body, whether these are skin, gland, muscle, brain or other cells, can only function if they receive enough water.

• It is a solvent for important substances in our orga- nism.

• It is a means of transport for nutrients, the body’s own substances and metabolic products. Please see the table of guideline values for the reference value for your fi tness profi le. It shows that there is a relation between the body fat values and your age and sex. Always bear in mind that, as in the case of the water balance in your body, also the share of fat is subject to great variations. Therefore, weigh yourself always at the same hour of the day to obtain a comparable value. The results of the analysis of the body fat and body water ratio are only reference values. They are not recommen- ded for use for medical purposes. You should always con- sult your doctor if you have any questions about medical treatment or a diet to achieve your normal weight.

Your personal values are now saved in the selected memory slot. A total of 8 memory slots are available. It is therefore possible to store not only your own personal values but also those of your family members in seven additional memory locations. Determining your Weight, Body Fat and Body Water Ratio First save your personal data in a memory slot. Note: The measurement can only be performed if you are barefoot. If necessary, wipe the contact surfaces to improve conduction of the electricity. Place each of your bare feet on 2 of the 4 contact surfaces.

• Within a few seconds the scales calculate your body fat and body water ratio automatically.

• The display then shows your body fat percentage (“BF” symbol), followed by the body water percen- tage (“BW” symbol).

• Then the LCD display alternates fi ve times between the values for the body fat and the body water percentage before switching off automati- cally. Display and Error Messages General If an error message (Err) appears in the display please wait until the scales switch off. Then switch them on again to continue using them. For a complete reset remove the battery for a moment and then reconnect it. Messages Switching

All segments light up simultaneously. This is a check that the displays are working correctly.

The scales are not positio- ned correctly or the weight to be measured is too low. Correct operation is not possible. Place the scales on a fl at and solid surface. „Err“ The scales are not positioned correctly or overloaded. Place the scales on a fl at and solid surface. Is the weight being measu- red greater than 150kg? „LO“ The battery charge is too low. „Err-h“ The calculated body fat % ratio is above the upper limit of the measurement range. „Err-l“ The calculated body fat % ratio is below the lower limit of the measurement range. Usage and care tips

• Weigh yourself without any clothes or shoes on before meals and always at the same hour of the day.

• The balance rounds off weight to the closest 100 g.

• If you weigh yourself twice and two different values are given, it means that your weight is comprised between both values.

• Do not immerse the balance in water: the electronic components can be damaged.

• Remove the batterie if the balance is not to be used for a long period of time.

• Handle the balance with care, as it is a precise measuring instrument. Do not drop it or jump on it.

• Absolutely no need for maintenance.

• Do not load the appliance with more than 150 kg to avoid damaging the device. Cleaning

• Clean the device with a slightly moist cloth. Make sure that no humidity or waters seeps into the device!

• Do not use abrasive detergents! These can damage the casing of the device!

• Use a commercially sold detergent or soap for clea- ning.

• Dry the device well after cleaning with a dry and soft cloth.
