INJURY! Do not step on to the scales with wet feet and do not use the scales if the platform is moist. Otherwise you may slip. Do not step onto only one outside edge of the diagnostic scales: Tipping hazard! Protect your scales from impact, moisture, dust, chemicals and sudden changes in temperature, and keep them away from sources of heat (ovens, heating radiators). Do not expose the product to - strong mechanical stresses, - direct sunlight, - strong electromagnetic fields (e.g. mobile). The product may otherwise be damaged. Check the product for damage before use. Do not use the prod- uct if damaged. Remove the batteries if the prod- uct malfunctions or is defective. Otherwise there is an increased risk of battery leaks. Never open the product housing. Doing so may result in personal injury or prod- uct damage. Always have any repairs carried out at the service centre or by an electrical equip- ment repair specialist. CAUTION! Do not store the scales in passageways. Other- wise you or others may trip over them. Dangers associated with handling batteries CAUTION! EXPLO- SION HAZARD! Never recharge disposable batteries. Do not short-circuit or open them. The battery may overheat, ignite or explode. Never throw batteries into fire or water. The batteries may explode. Safety Notes24 GB/IE ... / Inserting / Replacing ... / Setting Up the ... / Installing and ... / OperationSafety Notes / Measurement Principle Avoid extreme conditions and temperatures which may affect batteries, e.g. on radiators. Oth- erwise there is an increased risk of battery leaks. Leaked or damaged bat- teries may cause burns on contact with the skin. To avoid this, always wear suitable pro- tective gloves in these circum- stances! Be sure to insert the batteries correctly (polarity)! Batteries must not be disposed of with regular domestic waste! Every consumer is legally obliged to dispose of batteries properly! Keep batteries away from children

do not throw batteries into fire, short-circuit batteries, or take them apart. Avoid contact with the skin, eyes or mucous membranes if fluid has leaked from the batteries. In the event of contact with battery acid, thoroughly flush the affected area with clean water and seek immediate medical attention. Remove the batteries from the product if it will not be used for a long period of time. Remove drained batteries from the product immediately. There is an increased risk of leaks! Failure to observe the above instructions may result in the bat- teries discharging beyond their end voltage. This poses a risk of leaks. If the batteries have leaked inside your product, immediately remove the batteries to prevent product damage! Measurement Principle These diagnostic scales use the principle of bioel- ectrical impedance analysis (BIA). This enables body parts to be measured within a few seconds using a non-perceivable, completely harmless and safe current. By measuring the electrical resistance (impedance) and factoring in constants or individual values (age, height, gender, activity level), the body fat percent- age and other values can be determined approxi- mately. Muscle tissue and water have good electrical conductivity, hence little resistance. Bone and fatty tissue on the other hand have a low conductivity, as the fat cells and bones hardly conduct the cur- rent due to their high resistance. Please note, the values determined by the diagnostic scales are only approximate values of the body‘s medical, actual analytical values. Only a medical specialist can determine the exact body fat or wa- ter content percentages, the muscle mass or the bone structure through medical procedures (e.g. computer tomography). Please note, due to the technology used measuring tolerances may occur, as these are not calibrated diagnostic scales for professional, medical purposes.25 GB/IE ... / Inserting / Replacing ... / Setting Up the ... / Installing and ... / Operation Initial Use Verify the parts listed in the scope of delivery are complete. Remove all packaging material. Inserting / Replacing Batteries Note: The batteries must be inserted prior to initial use. Note: If the product does not respond, remove and reinsert the batteries. Open the battery cover

(see Fig. A). Insert the three included batteries (with the cor- rect polarity) in the battery compartment

Please note the marking inside the battery compartment

Close the battery cover

until you hear it engage. Setting Up the Diagnostic Scales Place the product on a level, solid surface. A solid floor covering is re- quired to ensure accurate values. Installing and Configuring the „HealthForYou“ app Download the free app „HealthForYou“ from the Apple App Store and Google Play. Activate Bluetooth

in the smartphone settings. To be able to connect to Bluetooth

, be sure to keep your smartphone /tablet within the Bluetooth

range of the product. Install „HealthForYou“ from the Apple App Store / Google Play. Start the app and follow the instructions. Select the scales in the settings menu of the app. A randomly generated six-digit PIN code will be shown on the display on the scales. At the same time an entry field will appear on your smartphone, where you should enter this six- digit PIN code. You will need to enter the following information in the „HealthForYou“ app: User data Configuration Options Initials up to 3 letters or numbers (for up to 8 users) Body height 100 to 220 cm (3‘ 3.5“ to 7' 2.5“) Birthday Year, month, day Gender Male ( ),female ( ) Activity level 1 to 5 The medium- and long-term informa- tion is important when determining the activity level. Activity level Physical activity 1 None. 2 Low: Little and light exercise (e.g. walks , light gardening, gymnastic exercises). 3 Moderate: Exercising at least 2 to 4 times per week for 30 minutes at a time. 4 High: Exercising at least 4 to 6 times per week for 30 minutes at a time. 5 Very high: Intensive exercise, train- ing or hard physical labour for at least 1 hour every day. Set up the users as prompted. The first measurement must be matched with your personal user information for automatic user recognition. Follow the instructions in the app. To do so, step onto the diagnostic scales barefoot and be sure to remain still, standing on the electrodes with both legs, weight distrib- uted evenly. Operation To ensure comparable results, use the scales at the same time (preferably in the morning) after using the toilet, on an empty stomach and naked. Safety Notes / Measurement Principle26 GB/IE Operation / Evaluating ResultsOperation Allow several hours following unusual physical strain. Wait approx. 15 minutes after getting up to allow water to distribute throughout the body. Important for measurements: the body fat per- centage can only be determined if you are ba- refoot. If necessary, slightly moisten the soles of your feet. Note: Completely dry or very calloused feet may provide poor results, as the conductivity will be too low. Note: Do not allow the feet, legs, calves or thighs to touch. This will interfere with measure- ment. Note: Wearing socks will provide false results. Stand upright and still during measurement, with the weight distributed equally between both legs. Please note, only the long-term trend is impor- tant. Sudden weight changes within a few days are typically caused by loss of fluids; however, hydration is important for your well being. Note: The units of measure for the scales can be changed in the app, under device settings (kg / lb / st). Measuring Step on the diagnostic scales barefoot and be sure to stand still on the electrodes

with the weight distributed equally between both legs. The diagnostic scales will start to measure immedi- ately. They will first show the weight

. Whilst measuring other parameters the display will read „oooo“. The results will appear shortly after. If a user has been assigned (the user initials

will appear, e.g. LEE), BMI, BF, water, muscle, bone, BMR and AMR will be displayed. The following information will be displayed: - Weight

in kg with BMI (Fig. C) - Body fat

in kcal (BMR) (Fig. H) - Active metabolic rate

in kcal (AMR) (Fig. I) If a user is not recognised, only the weight will be displayed along with „- - -“. Weight Only Stand on the diagnostic scales wearing shoes. Stand still on the diagnostic scales with the weight distributed evenly between both legs. The diagnostic scales will start to measure immedi- ately. The weight will be displayed, and the LC-dis- play

will cycle through „- - - -“. If a user has been assigned (the user initials

will appear, e.g. LEE), the BMI, BMR and AMR will be displayed. If a user is not recognised, only the weight will be displayed along with „- - -“. Switching Off the Diagnostic Scales The diagnostic scales feature an auto shut-off and will automatically switch off after displaying the results. Configuring Users The weighing scales are able to save measurements from up to 8 different users. Upon starting a new measurement, the diagnostic scales will assign the measurement automatically to the created user: - in the case of a measurement of weight only (in- cluding shoes): to the user whose last saved value lies within the range of +/- 2 kg of the new measurement - in the case of measurement of a diagnosis (barefoot): to the user whose last saved value lies within the range of +/- 2 kg or +/- 2% of BF from the new measurement If more than one user falls into the same range, the measurement will be saved as an unknown user.27 GB/IE Operation / Evaluating Results Unknown Value If values cannot be matched with a user, the diag- nostic scales will save these values as unknown val- ues. The LC-display

. The diagnostic scales will save up to 20 un- known values. Note: Use the app to delete or assign unknown values to a user. Saving Assigned Values With the „HealthForYou“ app open and active Bluetooth

connection to the diagnostic scales (indicated by the Bluetooth

), newly assigned measurements will be immediately transferred to the app. In this case the values will not be saved to the diagnostic scales. If the app is not open, newly assigned values will be saved to the diagnostic scales. The diagnostic scales can save up to 30 values per user. The saved values are automatically transferred to the app af- ter opening the app within Bluetooth

range. Data can automatically be transferred with the diagnos- tics scales off, provided you are within Bluetooth

range. Deleting Scales Data To delete outdated or incorrect scales users: To completely delete all values and outdated user data from the diagnostic scales, switch on the diagnostic scales and hold the Reset button

for approx. 3 seconds. The LC-display

will read „del“ for a few seconds. This is necessary to e.g. scales users which were added incorrectly or will no longer be used. Evaluating Results Body Mass Index (BMI) The body mass index (BMI) is a number frequently used to assess body weight. The number is calcu- lated from the body weight and height: body mass index = body weight ÷ height

. The unit of meas- ure for the BMI is therefore [kg/m

]. For adults (20 years and up), the BMI is then rated as: Category BMI Underweight Very severely underweight Moderately underweight Slightly underweight <16 16-16.9 17-18.4 Normal weight 18.5-24.9 Overweight Overweight 25-29.9 Obese (over- weight) Obese class I Obese class II Obese class III 30-34.9 35-39.9 ≥ 40 Body Fat Percentage The following body fat values in % are intended as a guide. For more information, please contact your physician. Male Age low normal high very high 10–14 <11 % 11–16 % 16.1–21

>33.1 % The values will often be lower in athletes. Depend- ing on the sport, training intensity and the physical condition the values may even be lower than the guidelines specified. Please note, extremely low values may indicate health hazards. Water Percentage The amount of water in the body in % is typically inside the following ranges: Male Age poor good excellent 10–100 <50 % 50–65 % >65 % Female Age poor good excellent 10 –100 <45 % 45–60 % >60 % Body fat holds relatively little water. The water per- centage in persons with a high body fat percentage may therefore be below these guidelines. In endur- ance athletes, on the other hand, the values may be higher due to the low body fat percentage and the high muscle mass. The water percentage determined using these diagnostic scales is not suitable for drawing medi- cal conclusions on e.g. age-related water retention. If necessary, consult your physician. The general objective is a high water percentage. Muscle Mass The muscle mass in % is normally within the follow- ing ranges: Male Age low normal high 10–14 <44 % 44–57 % >57 % 15–19 <43 % 43–56 % >56 % 20–29 <42 % 42-54 % >54 % 30–39 <41 % 41–52 % >52 % 40–49 <40 % 40–50 % >50 % 50–59 <39 % 39–48 % >48 % 60–69 <38 % 38–47 % >47 % 70–100 <37 % 37–46 % >46 % Female Age low normal high 10–14 <36 % 36–43 % >43 % 15–19 <35 % 35–41 % >41 % 20–29 <34 % 34–39 % >39 % 30–39 <33 % 33–38 % >38 % 40–49 <31 % 31–36 % >36 % 50–59 <29 % 29–34 % >34 % 60–69 <28 % 28–33 % >33 % 70–100 <27 % 27–32 % >32 % Bone Mass Like the rest of our body, bone in the body is subject to a natural process of building, loss and ageing. In childhood the bone mass increases rapidly, reaching its maximum at 30 to 40 years of age. With increasing age the bone mass then decreases again. A healthy diet (particularly calcium and vitamin D) and regular exercise can prevent this to some extent. By building muscle you can further improve the health of your skeleton. Note: These diagnostic scales do not show the calcium content of the bones but determines the29 GB/IE Evaluating Results weight of all elements of the bones (organic sub- stances, inorganic substances and water). Although the bone mass can only be influenced minimally, it does fluctuate slightly within factors (weight, height, age, gender). There are no recog- nised guidelines or recommendations. Note: Do not confuse bone mass with bone density. The bone density can only be determined with medical tests (e.g. computer tomography, ultra- sound). These diagnostic scales therefore cannot be used to draw conclusions on changes in the bones and bone strength (e.g. osteoporosis). BMR The basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the amount of energy the body requires at rest to maintain its ba- sic functions (e.g. 24 hours of bed rest). This value is substantially influenced by weight, height and age. The diagnostic scales shows the unit of measure kcal /day calculated based on the scientifically recognised Harris-Benedict equation. This amount of energy is absolutely required by your body and must be taken in through the diet. Consuming less energy for extended periods may be harmful to your health. AMR The active metabolic rate (AMR) is the amount of energy the body burns each day through activity. A person‘s energy requirement increases with activity and is determined by the diagnostic scales using the activity level specified (1– 5). To maintain your current weight you will need to consume the amount of energy burnt through food and beverages. When consuming less energy than burnt over an extended period the body will essentially take the difference from fat stores, resulting in weight loss. On the other hand, when consuming more energy than the calculated active metabolic rate (AMR) over an extended period the body will not be able to burn the excess energy and store it as fat, result- ing in weight gain. How Time Affects Results Please note, only the long-term trend is important. Sudden weight changes within a few days are typically caused by loss of fluid. The results are interpreted based on changes in the total weight and the body fat and water percentage and the muscle mass along with the amount of time over which these occurred. Sudden changes within days are must be distinguished from medium term changes (within weeks) and long-term changes (months). As a general rule, sudden weight changes are almost exclusively caused by changes in the water percentage, whilst medium- and long-term changes may also be due to changes in the percentage of fat and muscle. - If the weight suddenly changes but the body fat percentage increases or remains steady, you have merely lost water – e.g. after exer- cising, using the sauna or a diet aimed at rapid weight loss. - If the weight increases in the medium term and the body fat percentage decreases or remains steady, on the other hand, you may have built important muscle mass. - If the weight and body fat percentage de- crease at the same time, your diet is working – you are losing fat. - Your diet will ideally be accompanied with physical activity, fitness or weight training. You can then increase your muscle mass in the medium term. - However, do not add body fat and water per- centages or muscle mass (muscle tissue also contains water).
