Thank you for your confidence in us and congratulations!

The PSB personal scales with body analysis functionality which you have purchased are a top quality product from MEDISANA.

This unit is intended for weighing and calculating the proportion of body fat, water content and muscle mass in people.

In order to achieve the desired effect with your MEDISANA Personal scales PSB with body analysis functionality in the long term, we recommend that you read the following information on its use and maintenance carefully.

1.1 Important

Please read the following safety information carefully before using the device and keep these instructions in a safe place for later use.

• Any treatment or diet for people who are underweight or overweight requires the qualified advice of a professional (doctor, dietician). The values determined with the scales may be source of useful support.
• This device is not suitable for pregnant women!
• These scales are not suitable for people with pacemakers or other medical implants. The body fat information may be inaccurate in people with diabetes or other medical/physical limitations. The same also applies to very highly trained athletes.

• Risk of tipping over!
  Do not place the scale on an uneven surface. Do not stand on the corners/edges of the scale.

- Risk of slipping!

Do not stand on the scale with wet feet. Do not stand on the scale wearing socks.

• Use the device only according to its intended purpose as specified in the instruction manual.
• The warranty will be invalidated if the device is used for purposes other than those for which it is intended.
• The scale has been manufactured for domestic use. It is not suitable for commercial use in hospitals or other medical institutions.

• Do not use the device if it is not working correctly, if it has been dropped or has fallen into water or has been damaged.

• The scales have a measuring range up to 180 kg, 396 lbs/19 st. Do not overload the scales.

• Do not place the scale on soft or uneven surfaces. The most accurate measurements will be obtained with the scale on a firm, level surface.
• Do not use the scale in a location where extremely high temperatures or humidity may occur.
• Keep the scale away from water.
• Handle the scale with care. The scale must not be subjected to impacts or vibration. Do not drop the scale.
• Do not attempt to dismantle the scale, otherwise the warranty will be invalidated. The scale does not contain any parts that need to be maintained by the user, with the exception of the battery.
• Do not attempt to repair the device yourself in the event of a malfunction since this will invalidate the warranty. Repairs should only be carried out by authorised service centres.
• If the scale is not going to be used for a long period, please remove the batteries.

2.2 Why is it important to know how much body fat you have?

The human body is made up amongst other things of water, fat and muscle mass. A fat proportion which is too high or too low may lead to increased health risks. The personal scales with body analysis functionality provide useful support in motivating someone to reach or maintain the best possible body weight by monitoring the proportion of body fat.

2.3 How does the scale with body analysis functionality work?

The scale measures using BIA (Bio-electrical Impedance Analysis). When you step onto the metal plates barefoot, extremely weak electrical current is passed into your body. The scale weighs the difference between these signals. The measurements are used in combination with personal data such as age, gender, height and weight to calculate the amount of body fat.

2.4 Prerequisites for correct measuring results

NOTES

Excessive drinking, eating, training, medical treatment, the female menstrual cycle etc. affect the measuring results. The body fat, water content and muscle measurements will be incorrect for women during pregnancy.

2.4

Prerequisites for correct measuring results

Reliable measurements can only be achieved under certain prerequisites:

• Always measure barefoot.
- The feet must have a good contact with the electrodes on the standing area.
- Stand upright.
- Carry out the measurement approximately 15 minutes after getting up, or after bathing or showering, with towel-dried feet.
- Please measure at the same time of day if possible.
- Do not measure after strenuous physical exercise. Wait at least an hour before measuring.
- There must not be any dirt stuck to the soles of your feet. Erroneous measuring results may occur if the soles of your feet are dry or extremely callused.

The amount of body fat, water content and muscle mass can only be reliably monitored using the measurements if they are taken consistently.

Measurements that are taken under varying conditions can return different values.

2.5

2.7 Average Muscle Mass

The average proportion of muscle mass for women between 15 and 70 years of age is max. 34% and for men 40%. Compare your value with the standard value to analyse your muscle mass.

3.1 Insert/replace batteries

Before you start up your digital scale, insert the two provided cell batteries (type CR2032) into the device. To do this, open the battery compartment ⑤ beneath the device and insert the batteries. Please note polarity (positive pole upwards as shown on the lid of the battery compartment). Close the battery compartment again. Replace the batteries if the battery change symbol "Lo" appears in the display ① or if nothing appears in the display when the device is switched on.
