SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

People with pacemakers or other types of electronic implants should not use this product because the measuring method of the resistance might interfere with its good functioning. This product is suitable for adults and children of age 10 or older.

If you have any doubt about the use of this product, please consult your physician.

The scale uses the Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) method to measure the body fat, the total body water, the bone mass and the muscular mass. BIA = the scale has electrodes measuring the body electric resistance (muscles offer less resistance than fat, and that can be correlated with the body weight).

The integrated computer calculates the body fat and other data percentages based on age, sex and height. This method is quick, sure and accurate and gives a result within 30 seconds.

WHY IS MEASURING THE BODY FAT (BF) SO IMPORTANT?

For years, obesity has been defined as the presence of superfluous « body fat ». It is not a matter of sheer body weight. Some people have a strong proportion of fat balanced with muscular mass, and some slim people experience a large increase of body fat.

The « body fat » is an important part of the human body and it deals with a certain number of essential tasks: protecting our joints, storing vitamins, regulating our body temperature... However, fat may contribute to a lot of stress for the human body (particularly for the cardiovascular system) and may also lead to diabetes. The goal is not only to reduce fat as much as possible, but rather to reach and maintain a good rate between muscular mass and body fat. Therefore,

the control of these two levels, weight and fat, is a fundamental requirement for a good physical condition and a good health.

WHY IS WATER CONTENT SUCH AN IMPORTANT MEASURE?

After oxygen, water is the most important of the nutritive elements which the body requires to work efficiently. Water plays an essential role in almost all bodily functions and helps regulate the body temperature, carry nutrients, moisturize and purify the skin, improve the digestive system and lubricate joints.

Every process in our body is dependent on water and most people do not drink enough water. By keeping your body liquid level under control, you can react quickly to regulate fluids when necessary.

MEASURING METHOD

The measuring method accepted by scientists worldwide is called "Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis". With this method, a weak and imperceptible electric current travels through the body (this current is totally harmless for the human body*). The current, which has the capacity to circulate more easily through liquid in our muscles than through fat, goes through the legs and allows measuring the body electric resistance. This resistance depends on the quantity of water in the body (our muscles contain about 73% of water). After measuring the electric resistance, this value can be used to calculate directly the muscular mass of our lower limbs. Our gender and our height are taken into account to determine muscular mass as a whole.

On the contrary, body fat acts as an insulating substance (it reduces the capacity of the current to go through) and thus cannot be calculated directly. It is more about determining the measured weight indirectly using the formula Fat mass = Body weight - Muscular mass.

This method allows us to take the whole body fat into account.

The water content of the body is measured by the calculation of the 73% of the muscular mass.

BEFORE THE FIRST USE

Please note: The app Fitdays is required to be able to utilize all the functions of the scale. You can download this app for free from the App Store or scan the QR code below to start downloading the app. Only the conventional weighing mode can be used without the app.

This appliance works with 2 AAA-type batteries (2 x 1.5V, included). Open the lid of the battery housing, on the rear part of the scale. Place the batteries, respecting the polarity indicated, and then close the lid. You can now use your scale.

CONVENTIONAL WEIGHING

1. Place the scale on a dry, even and firm base (avoid carpets and uneven floors, as it could produce inaccurate measurement results).
2. Tap your foot on the scale to activate the display.
3. Wait until the display shows "0.0" (kg / lb. / st). Note: Before you stand on the scale, you can choose whether the weight should be displayed in kilograms (kg), pounds (lb.) or stone (st). Simply press the circular button on the back of the scale, as shown below, to cycle through the unit settings.

1. Stand on the scale. The body weight will be calculated.
2. Once the body weight has been established, the number on the display begins to flash. You can now get off the scale.
3. The scale switches off automatically after a few moments.

CALCULATING BODY FAT AND WATER CONTENT, BONE, MUSCLE MASS, BMI AND CALORIE DEMAND

The measurement results calculated with this scale and app are only reference values and act as a guideline. We advise against using the results as the basis for any form of medical treatment or diet. Please

consult your doctor if you have any questions about your weight, a medical treatment or a diet.

1. Place the scale on a dry, even and firm base.
2. Make sure the Fitdays app has been downloaded and installed.
3. Switch on Bluetooth® on your smartphone.
4. Open the app "Fitdays". The app automatically attempts to connect to the scale. Note: Only connect one smartphone to the scale at the same time.
5. Tap your foot on the scale to activate the display.
6. Wait until the display shows '0.0' (kg / lb. / st).
7. Stand with bare feet on the scale. Make sure that your feet are placed correctly on the contact areas. The body weight will be calculated.
8. Once the body weight has been established, the number on the display begins to flash. The other values are calculated immediately after this.
9. Remain still on the scale until they automatically switch off or all the data is displayed in the app.

ERROR MESSAGES

The following error messages can appear on the display:

Display	Meaning
Lo	The batteries in the scale are too weak. Insert new batteries (see the "Replacing the Batteries" chapter).
Err	More than 180 kg are on the scale. The scale is overloaded.
C	An error has occurred during measurement. Step off the scale and step on it again to repeat the measuring process.

INCORRECT SPECIFICATIONS

Specification	Possible meaning
Non-plausible values for	Body fat includes relatively little water. This means that the body's water content may be below the guideline
body fat and water content	figures in people who have a high body fat content. In the case of endurance or performance athletes, by contrast, the guideline figures may be exceeded due to the lower fat contents and the high proportion of muscle.
Incorrect weight measurement	The scale is positioned on an uneven surface (e.g. a carpet). The measured values may be distorted if the surface underneath is uneven. Place the scale on a flat and firm surface.
No analytical values are displayed	No values for the body fat and water content can be calculated. Correct the position of your feet. The feet must be bare and dry and be positioned correctly on the contact areas on the scale.

REPLACING THE BATTERIES

If "Lo" appears on the display, the batteries are too weak and need to be replaced.

You require 2x 1.5 V batteries, AAA type.

1. Open the battery compartment on the bottom of the scale.
2. Remove the used batteries from the battery compartment.
3. Insert two new 1.5 V batteries, AAA type. Pay attention to the correct polarity.
4. Close the battery compartment again. The battery compartment cover must be heard to engage in place.
