• Please carefully read, follow and retain the operating instructions!

• This appliance is intended for domestic use only and not for industrial or medical applications.

• Pregnant women and persons with implanted medical devices such as pacemakers may use the weighing function only.

• To prevent danger, the appliance may be repaired by our customer service only.

• Place the scales on a at, hard and dry surface. Try not to place it on carpets or rugs, nor let it come into contact with walls or other objects.

• Clean the scales with a damp cloth. Do not let water or any other liquid get inside the appliance.

• To prevent slipping, do not get onto the scales with wet feet.

• Do not drop anything onto the scales.

• If you do not plan on using the scales for prolonged periods then remove the batteries.

• The scales are used to determine the weight of people.

• The measurements are only an indication of long-term changes. You are not replacing medical observation or consultant.

• For more detailed information on the meaning of the body fat content, body water content as well as muscle mass and the values ideal for you, please consult with your GP.

• To obtain comparable measurements, weigh yourself everyday at the same time and under the same conditions (recommended three hours after eating or sport).

• The measurement results are not reliable for children under 10 years of age.

• Important! Do not move the scales during or after calibration to ensure that the subsequent measurements are implemented exactly. If the scales are moved to a different location, repeat the process.

SWITCHING ON THE APPLIANCE

The scales use one CR 2032 lithium battery, supplied with the appliance. Open the battery compartment on the base and remove the plastic strip that protects it (Fig. 2). Placethescalesonaat,hardanddrysurface. USE Two functions can be selected with these scales: - Weighing function - Analysis function WEIGHING FUNCTION (Fig. 3)

• Toswitchonthescales,tapbrieyandaudibly on the surface of the scales with the heel of your foot. The vibration sensor activates the scales, the completedisplaylightsupbriey.

• Wait until is indicated on the display.

• Step onto the scales and stand still for as long asthedisplayickers.Distributeyourweight evenly on both legs. The measurement can now be read off. The scales display your weight in 100 g steps. The scales automatically switch off after the measuring process. ANALYSIS FUNCTION To measure the percentage of body fat, body water,musclemassandtocalculateBMI,rst input your personal data. The scales have 10 memory locations in which personal data, such as height, age and sex, is inputted.

The scales automatically switch off after a couple of seconds. NOTE: the Navigation buttons ▲▼ are held down for longer time, the numerical sequence is accelerated. To assign other memory locations, repeat the Inputting personal data process. NOTE: Memory locations which are already occupied can be reprogrammed at any time. STARTING THE ANALYSIS (Fig. 5) Measurement of weight as well as BMI, the percentage of body fat, body water and muscle mass. Switch on the scales and wait until is indicated. Using the USER button, select the programmed personal memory location, e.g. 3. The input personal data is displayed for 2 seconds. NOTE: the Navigation buttons ▲▼ are held down for longer time, the numerical sequence cannot be accelerated. As soon as the scales display , step on the scales and stand still for as long as the display ickers.Distribute your weightevenly onboth legs. NOTE: Stand on the scales with bare feet only. NOTE: User number you selected appears always, when the analysis function is working. The analysis function now requires a few seconds to perform the measurement and calculation. Successive displays on display: - Weight in kg - The Body Mass Index BMI - The body fat percentage FAT - The body water percentage - The muscle mass as % For approx. 3 seconds each. These displays are automatically repeated 2 times in succession. IMPORTANT: Stand with feet, calves and tights apart, otherwise the measurement will be incorrect. The scales automatically switch off a couple of seconds after the end of the measuring process. WHAT DOES BMI MEAN? The Body Mass Index (BMI) is a measured value for evaluating the weight of a person. The value can be used to determine whether the person is normal weight, overweight or underweight. The Body Mass Index (BMI) is the quotient of your weight (kg) and the square of your height (m). The unit of the BMI is kg/m

TO WHO) BMI Value Meaning under 19 underweight 19 to 25 normal weight 25 to 30 overweight 30 to 35 obesity degree 1 35 to 40 obesity degree 2 over 40 obesity degree 3 The Body Mass Index is a very approximate value only.

MEASUREMENT FUNCTION? The Body fat is measured according to the BIA principle (bioelectrical impedance analysis). The appliance transmits a weak, harmless electrical signal through the body. The resistance (impedance), i.e. the signal which the body resists, is measured. The resistance is affected by the composition of the human body. Muscles and organs contain water and are therefore good conductors. Fat resists the signal and is therefore a poor conductor. The body fat percentage is calculated from this measured resistance taking into account the data (height, age, sex) which was input into the scales. The body fat content varies greatly from person to person. Therefore, only approximate values are indicated in the following table.

WATER MEASURED VALUES

The body fat and water measurements are inuencedbytheamountofwaterinthebody. The amount of water varies, e.g. according to the time of day, demands on the body, baths or showers, menstruation, eating and drinking. Evenillnessesormedicationmayinuencethe result. The following guide values, according to WHO, apply to persons who are normal weight: - Women 50-55% - Men 60-65% WHAT IS MUSCLE MASS? This function indicates the calculated mass of skeletal muscles (approximate value) in your body. A human being has over 600 muscles. Muscles play an important role (movement, posture) and use energy. With increasing muscle mass (increase in activity and sport), more energy and calories are used and the body fat content is reduced. Average skeletal muscle mass (International Commission on Radiological Protection, 1975): - Women who weigh 58 kg: 30% - Men who weigh 70 kg: 40%

CLEANING THE APPLIANCE

Never immerse the scales into water. Do not use a steam cleaner. Wipe the scales with a damp cloth, do not use scouring agents. Clean the glass surface with a standard glass cleaner. ERROR MESSAGES

• is indicated on the display: - The calibration was defective. -> Remove and re-insert the battery. Then tap briey and audibly on the surface of the scales with the heel of your foot. - The weighing process was not conducted with the person standing still or for long enough. -> You must stand still on the scales for at leastveseconds. - The weight to be weighed is too heavy (max. 180 kg). - The contact between the soles of the feet and the measuring contacts is too low. -> Place feet on the measuring contacts. - Your feet have contacted with measuring contacts and metal frame around display. -> Place feet only on the measuring contacts. NOTE: Very dry skin and/or very hard skin may distort the result. The measurement results will be more accurate if the soles of the feet have good blood circulation or are damp. However, to avoid the risk of slipping, please ensure that the soles of the feet are not wet. - The percentage of body fat is outside the range of 5-50%. -> Repeat the measuring process. - The percentage of body water content is outside the range of 43-75%. -> Repeat the measuring process. - The percentage of muscle mass is outside the range of 25-80%. -> Repeat the measuring process.

• is displayed: - The battery is discharged or too weak. -> Change the battery. Then calibrate the scales, tap briey and audibly on the surface of the scales with the heel of your foot. Do not use rechargeable batteries. Use the same type of batteries only.

CHANGING THE BATTERY

Whenever a battery needs changing, open the compartment and remove the dead battery by gently prizing it out as shown in (Fig. 6). Fit the new battery and press it down gently so that it locks into position. Make sure that the widest part is facing up, so that the «
