Initialisation

The scale needs to be initialised at the first time of use, each time it has been moved or after battery replacement. Press briefly and sharply with your foot in the middle of the platform. The display reads × 0.0 then the scale automatically turns off. Your scale is now is now ready for use.

If your scale has a conversion switch, you can change the measuring units from metric to imperial or vice versa (i.e KG/ST/LB) by simply pressing the conversion switch located on the under-side of the scale.

1. Display the measurement

After the measuring, if the user don't choose the user No, the scale will automatically identify the users according to the weight. And the LCD will display the weight, fat, water, muscle and bone data for three times.

Automatically identify the user measurement.

1. When the user stand on the scale directly, the scale will turn on and lock the weight.

1. When the weight is stable, display moving "0" means it is measuring. If it can identify the user successfully, it will display the measurement. If it detects many similar weight, it will display the relative user No., Use up to choose the left user No. and use down to choose the right user No. After fi nished choosing the user, it will display the measurement and turn off. If you don't choose the user, it will display the user No. several seconds and turn off.

1. If it occurred error or it can't identify the user, it will display the present weight and turn off.

REPLACE THE BATTERIES

Lo appears on the screen, when batteries are low and need to be changed.

To change the batteries, open the battery cover on the back of the scale unit. Remove used battery and insert new ones. Batteries should be removed and replaced by adults only.

Only use recommended batteries or those of the same or equivalent type.

Do not mix old and new batteries or batteries of different types. Batteries are to be inserted with the correct polarity.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION TO KNOW BEFORE USING YOUR BODY FAT SCALE

1. What is bio-electrical body mass analysis?

Bio-electrical body mass analysis is the resistance created by the human body when an electric current passes through it.

All body fat analysis bathroom scales work fundamentally on the same principle, which consists of measuring the bio-electrical impedance of the human body, and combining it with the subject's morphometric parameters (height, weight, gender, age, etc.) so as to calculate his/her pre-supposed amount of body fat, based on clinical measurements.

2. Why is it important to monitor percentage body fat (%BF)?

Weight is a useful indicator but not sufficient to monitor your health. Weight change in itself does not indicate whether it was the weight of body fat or muscle that had changed. In weight management, it is desirable that muscle mass be maintained while body fat is lost. Thus, monitoring the percentage fat of the body is an important step toward successful weight management and body health.

The optimal %BF of an individual varies according to age and gender.

The table as follows may be used as a guide:

Standard for Men

Rating Age
	20-29 30-39 40-49 50-59 60+
Low < 13 % < 14 % < 16 % < 17 % < 18 %
Optimal 14-20 % 15-21 % 17-23 % 18-24 % 19-25 %
Moderate 21-23 % 22-24 % 24-26 % 25-27 % 26-28 %
Élevé > 23 % > 24 % > 26 % > 27 % > 28 %

Standard for Women

Rating Age
	20-29 30-39	40-49 50-59	60+
Low < 19 % < 20 % < 2	1 % < 22 % < 23 %
Optimal 20-28 % 21-29	% 22-30 % 23-31	% 24-32 %
Moderate 29-31 % 30-32	% 31-33 % 34	% 33-35 %
High	>31 %	>32 %	>33 %	>34 %	>35 %

3. How is percentage body fat (%BF) estimated?

% BF is measured by a method called Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA). With the BIA technology, a low intensity electrical signal is sent through the body. The signal is very low and causes no bodily harm. Depending on the amount of body fat of the individual, the electrical signal will flow with a different degree of difficulty. The difficulty with which a signal flows through the body is called electrical impedance. Hence, by measuring the electrical impedance and applying to the data a proprietary algorithm, % BF can be estimated.

Please be reminded that the % BF estimated with the scale represents only a good approximation of your actual body fat. There exist clinical methods of estimating body fat that can be ordered by your physician.

4. Why is it important to monitor percentage Total Body Water (%TBW) in the body?

Water is an essential component of the body and its level is one of the health-indicators. Water makes up approximately between 50 - 70% of the body's weight. It is present proportionally more in lean tissue compared to fat tissue. Water is a medium for biochemical reactions that regulate body functions. Water provides form to cells; helps to maintain body temperature; provides moisture to skin and mucosa; cushions vital organs; lubricates joints and is a component of many body fluids. The amount of water in the body fluctuates with the hydration level of the body and state of health. Monitoring the level of body water can be a useful tool for one's health maintenance. Similar to body fat estimation, the % TBW function provided in this scale is based on BIA.

The estimated % TBW may vary according to your hydration level, that is, how much water you have drunk or how much you have sweated immediately prior to the measurement. For better accuracy, avoid fluctuation in hydration level prior to the measurement. The accuracy of the scale in estimating TBW will also decrease with individuals suffering from diseases that tend to accumulate water in the body.

The optimal %TBW of an individual varies according to age and gender.

The table as follows may be used as a guide:

Please be reminded that the % TBW estimated with the scale represents only a good approximation of your TBW. There exist clinical methods of estimating body fat that can be ordered by your physician.

5. When should I use the scale's body fat and total body water functions?

For maximum accuracy and repeatability, it is recommended that the scale's body fat and total body water functions be used at approximately the same time of the day, e.g. before breakfast in the morning. It is also a good practice to avoid swings in hydration level of the body prior to the measurement. Establishing your own baseline value of % BF and % TBW and track their changes is better than merely comparing your % BF and % TBW value to the population's normal value.

6. Why is the Athlete Mode necessary in a Body Fat Analyzer?

It has been found that body fat estimation using BIA could overestimate the percentage body fat of adult elite athletes. The physiological variation of athletes in bone density and level of hydration are two of the reasons said to account for the difference. The Athlete mode is selectable only for adults of 18 years of age or older.

7. Definition of an Athlete

The general consensus among researchers is that a quantitative dimension could be used in defining an athlete. For example, an athlete could be defined as a person who consistently trains a minimum of three times per week for two hours each time, in order to improve specific skills required in the performance of their specific sport and/or activity.
