Frequently Asked Questions - GS 280 BMI Genius BEURER

How do I calibrate the BEURER GS 280 BMI Genius scale?

To calibrate the scale, place it on a flat and stable surface. Turn it on, then press the power button. The scale will calibrate automatically. Make sure no weight is on the scale during this operation.

Why does my scale display "ERR"?

How do I change the measurement units on the scale?

To change the measurement units, press the setting button until you reach the desired unit (kg or lb).

What should I do if the scale does not turn on?

Check that the batteries are not dead and are installed correctly. If the batteries are flat, replace them with new ones.

How do I read the BMI results on the scale?

Once you have weighed yourself, the scale will automatically display your body mass index (BMI) based on your weight and height. Make sure you have entered your height correctly in the settings.

Can the scale be used on a carpet?

It is recommended to use the scale on a hard and flat surface for accurate results. Using it on a carpet may distort the measurements.

How do I clean my BEURER GS 280 BMI Genius scale?

To clean the scale, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive or chemical cleaners that could damage the surface.

Does the scale store data for multiple users?

5. Initial use

Inserting the batteries (2 x 3V CR2032)

Please remove the battery insulating strips and/or position the batteries correctly with regards to the polarity displayed in the battery compartment. If the scale fails to operate, remove the batteries completely and reinsert them.

Changing the weight unit

The scale shows the values in kg. You can set the device to measure in kilograms ('kg'), pounds ('lb') and stones ('st') using the button on the back of the device.

Setting up the scale

Set up the scale on a level and solid surface. A solid surface is a prerequisite for a correct measurement.

6. Information

The measuring principle

The BMI is calculated using the height value entered and the measured weight value.

General tips

- If possible, always weigh yourself at the same time of day (preferably in the morning), after using the toilet, on an empty stomach and unclothed, in order to achieve comparable results.

7. Weight measurement

Step onto the scale. Stand still with your weight distributed equally on both feet. The scale begins to take measurements straight away. After flashing twice, the weight is established. If you step off the weighing area, the scale switches off after a few seconds.

8. Weight and BMI display

Setting user data

The scale has 10 user memory spaces. You and, for example, the members of your family can save and later access the following personal settings in the user memory spaces:

Sequence User data Parameters
1 Memory position P-0 to P-9
2 Body height 80 to 240 cm (2'-07" to 7'-10")

• Press the "SET" button until you have reached the desired memory space (P-0 – P-9). Confirm using the "SET" button. First, the default height value will be displayed.
• Press the buttons ▽ and △ to set your height. Keep the button pressed to scroll quickly (P-0 - P-9).
• Finish entering data by pressing the "SET" button.

Please note: If you change your height setting at a later point in time, the saved measurement (weight and BMI) in your user memory will be deleted.

Weighing yourself and calculating BMI

To weigh yourself and to calculate your personal body mass index:

- Using the "SET" button, select the user memory space where your settings have been saved. Your saved height value will be displayed. The selected user memory flashes at the same time. The last measurement (weight and BMI) is then displayed.

Wait until "0.0 kg" (or 0.0 lb/0:0.0 lb st) appears. You can now use the scale. Stand still whilst weighing yourself.

One after the other, your weight and your BMI are shown with a colour interpretation.

The display changes colour depending on the BMI (see 9, Evaluation of results).

The scale switches itself off after approx. 20 seconds.

9. Evaluation of results

Body mass index (BMI)

The body mass index (BMI) is a number that is often called upon to evaluate body weight. The number is calculated from body weight and height, the formula is - body mass index = body weight : height ^2 . The measurement unit for BMI is [kg/m ^2 ]. According to the BMI, weight is classified for adults (20 years and over) using the following values (source: WHO):

Display Category	BMI
Orange Underweight	Severely underweight < 16
		Moderately underweight 16-16,9
		Slightly underweight 17-18,4
Green Normal weight	18,5-24,9
Yellow Overweight	Pre-obese	25,0-29,9
Red	Obese (overweight)	Class I obese	30-34,9
		Class II obese	35-39,9
		Class III obese	≥ 40

Results in relation to time

Remember that only long-term trends are important. Short-term fluctuations in weight over a few days are usually the result of a loss of fluid.

10. Replacing batteries

The batteries in the scale must be replaced if the message “Lo” appears in the display. If the batteries are too flat, then the scale will switch off automatically.

Note:

• When changing batteries, always use batteries of the same type, brand and capacity. Always replace all batteries simultaneously.
• Do not use rechargeable batteries.
• Use batteries that are free of heavy metals.

11. Storage and maintenance

The precision of the measurements and service life of the device depends on its careful handling:

Important:

- The unit should be cleaned occasionally. Use a slightly damp cloth to clean the device. You may also use a small quantity of cleaning agent if desired. Do not use abrasive detergents and never immerse the unit in water.

- Protect the scale from knocks, damp, dust, chemicals, drastic changes in temperature, electromagnetic fi elds and nearby sources of heat (ovens, heaters). Do not press the buttons violently or with pointed objects.

12. Disposal
