Information about the Analysis Scale

Do not use the scales if you use a pacemaker or another medical implant with electronic components. The function of the implant may be impaired by the measurement. The main principle of this device is based on the measure- ment of the electric impedance within the human body. In order to determine the actual body data, the device leads a weak, unnoticeable electric signal through your body. The signal is generally safe! However, please read our special safety instructions! The method of measurement is referred to as “bioelectric impedance analysis” (BIA), a factor which is based on the re- lationship between body weight and associated body water percentages as well as on other biological data (age, gender, body weight). Information on Bluetooth Bluetooth is a technology for remote wireless connection of devices over a short distance. Devices with Bluetooth Standard transmit in the ISM-Band (Industrial, Scientific and Medical) between 2.402 and 2.480 GHz. Interference may be caused e.g. by WLAN networks, DAB radios, cordless phones, or microwave ovens that operate in the same fre- quency range. These scales offer you the possibility of sending the calculat- ed data via Bluetooth to your smartphone or tablet PC. More information can be found in the next section (Information on the App “Smart Scale”). Due to the many different device manufacturers, models, and software versions, full functionality cannot be guaranteed. Information on the App “Smart Scale” You can download the free app via the Apple Store or the Google Play Store. NOTE: Depending on the provider, there may be costs involved in downloading the app. The link to download the app can be found on our internet page: http://www.etv.de/products/de/Personal-Care/ Personenwaage/AEG-PW-5653-BT.html System requirement for use of the app

2. Press the “kg / lb / st” button on the underside of

the scales repeatedly, until the required weight unit is displayed. The unit for the height also automatically changes. Weighing Function

1. Place the scale on a hard, flat surface (avoid carpets). An

uneven floor contributes to inaccurate measurements.

2. Stand on the scales with both feet. The device switches

3. Distribute your weight equally and wait for the scale to

determine your weight.

4. The digits on the display will flash before your exact

weight will be shown.

• In order to extend the battery life, the device will auto- matically turn off 10 seconds after you have stepped off the scale.

• If there is no weight determination while “0.0” is shown, the scale will shut off automatically after 10 seconds. Saving Personal Data NOTE:

• The scale has default values that you can change, as described below.

• Carry out the following steps in sequence and within a few seconds. Otherwise, the device will automatically cancel input mode.

• Keeping one of the buttons ( / ) pressed during the setting for approx. 2 seconds sets fast mode.

1. Press the button SET. The last selected preset in the

memory (e.g. P1) flashes on the display. Confirm the set- ting by pressing SET or select another memory space by pressing the / button. Then press SET to go to the next setting.

2. The symbol for “male” or “female” will flash. Confirm

the setting by pressing SET or use the / button to choose the symbol for your gender. Then press SET to go to the next setting.

5. Then you will see the memory location, the symbol of the

gender and the weight “0.0 kg” (0.0 lb / 0: 0 st:lb) in the display. You now have the following options:

• Repeatedly press the SET button to display or change the settings again.

• You can store more presets in the memory. Proceed as described above

• You can immediately start measuring. Measurement and Analysis Record your personal data in the memory. NOTE:

• The analysis scale will only work correctly when you are standing on the contact surfaces barefoot and with slightly moistened foot soles, if possible. Completely dry foot soles can lead to unsatisfactory results as they have a conductivity that is too low.

• If necessary wipe the contact surfaces to improve results.

• Due to the signicant uctuation of body fat, it is dif- ficult to attain a standard value. Therefore, to obtain consistent data, always measure at the same time of day.

1. Press the SET button. Use the

/ button to select the stored position at which your data is saved.

2. Wait until the display comes to a standstill: memory loca-

tion, the symbol of the gender and the weight “0.0 kg” (0.0 lb / 0: 0 st:lb).

3. Stand on the contact surfaces (5) of the scales with both

4. Firstly your weight is displayed briefly. Then the analysis

starts. You’ll see a treadmill “ “ in the display during the analysis. After a few seconds, the following results are dis- played in sequence. Each time, the value is also displayed in the form of a bar.

1. The weight in the previously selected unit

2. The body fat proportion in % (symbol

4. The bone weight in kg (lb / st:lb) (symbol

5. The visceral fat (symbol

6. The proportion of muscle mass in % (symbol

7. The basal metabolic rate of the daily energy require-

ment in KCAL (symbol

Afterwards the determined data will be shown repeatedly. Then the scale will automatically turn off. Assessment of the Results There are heavy persons with a well-balanced percentage between fat and muscle mass, and there are seemingly slim persons with significantly high body fat values. Fat is a factor that puts serious strain on the body, in particular the cardio- vascular system. Therefore, controlling both values (fat and weight) is a prerequisite for health and fitness.English

Body Fat Body fat is an important component of the body. From protecting the joints as a vitamin repository to regulating the body temperature, fat plays a vital role in the body. Thus the goal is not to radically reduce the proportion of body fat, but rather to achieve and maintain a healthy balance between muscle and fat. The Importance of Water for our Health Approximately fifty-five to sixty percent of the human body consist of water, depending on age and gender in varying amounts. Water has to fulfill several tasks within the body:

• It is the building block of our cells. That means that all the cells in our body, whether skin cells, gland cells, muscle cells, brain cells or others, are functional only if they con- tain enough water.

• It is a solvent for important substances in our body.

• It is a means of conveyance for nutrients, the body’s own substances and metabolic products. Reference values for your fitness profile can be seen in the benchmark table. It shows the dependency of body fat data on age and gender. Always pay attention to your body’s water balance, which, as well as the fat level, undergoes strong fluctuations throughout the day. Therefore, to obtain consistent data, always measure at the same time of day. The calculated results of the body fat and water level should only be considered as reference values. They are not recom- mended to be used for medical purposes. Please always con- sult a doctor if you have questions about a medical treatment or a diet in order to achieve a normal body weight.

To a certain degree, it can be attributed to abdominal fat. It is not directly visible, but comprises a part of the abdominal volume. This fat acts as a reserve during food shortages.English

BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate / Energy expenditure) The Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) characterizes the energy expenditure. The energy expenditure is used to describe the amount of energy in KCAL that the body requires per day during complete rest, at an indifference temperature (28-30 °C) and on an empty stomach for the maintenance of its function (e.g. while sleeping). Reference values of the daily intake of kilocalories with- out physical activities Age (Years) Women Men Weight (kg) KCAL Weight (kg) KCAL 10-17 50 1265 60 1620 18-30 55 1298 65 1560 31-40 60 1302 70 1561 41-60 60 1242 70 1505 61-99 50 1035 65 1398 BMI (Body Mass Index) The Body Mass Index (BMI) refers the body weight to the square of the body height. BMI = Weight in kg: (body height in m x body height in m) Example: A woman weighs 55 kg and is 1.68 m tall. Her BMI is calcu- lated as follows: 55 kg : (1.68 m x 1.68 m) ≈ 19,5 kg/m² Normal weight The value “square of the body height” is in no relation to the body surface. The BMI is merely a rough reference value, as it neither considers the build and gender, nor the individual composition of the body mass from the fat and muscle tissue of a human. Reference values for the BMI BMI Under- weight Normal Over- weight Obese < 18.5 18.5 - 25 25 - 30 > 30 Please note that the interpretation of the BMI indicates excess weight with very muscular bodies (bodybuilder). The reason for this is that the far above-average muscle mass is not considered in the BMI formula. Display Error Messages NOTE: If an error message appears on the display, wait until the device is turned off. Turn it on again to restart the opera- tion. If the error display has not disappeared, take the batteries out of the battery compartment for 10 seconds. Display Indications Meaning Self test (after inserting the batteries) for perfect functioning of the display Battery is low . The scales then switch off. The weight lies above the allowed maximum weight. The percentage of body fat content lies above or below the limits of the measuring scale. The entered user details do not match the measurement. Enter the correct user details. Cleaning CAUTION:
