How to save my personal data?

Press SET, select a memory slot (1-12) with ▲/▼ buttons, then enter gender, height, age. Press SET to confirm.

What is BIA technology?

The scale uses bioelectrical impedance analysis: a low, harmless current passes through the body to measure tissue resistance and calculate body composition.

Why does the scale not turn on?

Check that the battery is inserted with correct polarity (+ side up) and is not drained. Replace it with a CR2032 if necessary.

What do the error codes mean?

Err: overload (>180 kg). Lo: low battery. ErrL: fat % <4%. ErrH: fat % >60%. C: measurement disturbed (instability or movement).

Can I use the scale while pregnant?

No, body analysis is not recommended for pregnant women. Use only the normal weighing function.

Can children use the scale?

Yes, from 8 years with supervision. Children must not play with it. Cleaning by a child is only allowed if 8 years or older and supervised.

How to clean the scale?

The bathroom scales is designed for the weighing of people in the home. It is not suitable for use in clinics, medical practices, etc.

Likewise, the body analysis function is designed only for private use. The scales are not suitable for use in the professional sporting sphere.

The maximum carrying capacity of 180kg must not be exceeded.

Do not use these scales if you ...

...are pregnant,
have a cardiac pacemaker,
...areadialysispatient,
... suffer from oedema,
- ... have implants, e.g. artificial limbs, metal plates, etc.

If in doubt, consult your GP.

Safety

• These scales can be used by children 8 years of age and above, as well as by persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capacities or lacking experience and knowledge, if they are supervised or have been instructed in the safe use of the scales and understand the dangers that may arise.
  Children must not play with the scales.
• Cleaning and user maintenance must not be carried out by children, unless they are 8 years of age or older and are being supervised.
• Batteries, when swallowed, can be life-threatening. For this reason, the scales and battery should be kept in a place out of reach of children. If a battery is swallowed, medical assistance must be sought immediately.

DANGER for children

• Keep children away from packaging material. Risk of choking if swallowed. Also, beware that children do not pull the packaging material over their heads.

RISK of fire/burning and/or explosion

• There is a risk of explosion if batteries are replaced incorrectly. Replace the battery using only the same or an equivalent type of battery. Pay attention to the "Technical Data".
• Batteries must not be recharged, reactivated by other means, dismantled, thrown into fire, or short-circuited.
• Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and mucosa. If you come into contact with battery acid, flush the affected site immediately with plenty of clean water and see a doctor promptly.

WARNING against risk of injury

• Do not step onto the outer edge of any one side of the scales. Risk of tipping!
• Do not step onto the scales with wet feet or when its surface is damp. Risk of slipping!
• The weighing surface is made of glass. If you fall down, there is a risk of the glass breaking and thus a risk of injury from glass splinters.

BEWARE of material damage

• Place the scales on a stable, even surface.

• Do not overload the scales. Pay attention to the "Technical Data". Place yourself on the scales exclusively for weighing purposes.

• Protect the scales from sharp jolts and vibrations.
• Remove the battery from the scales once it has been used or when you are no longer using the scales. You will thus avoid damage that may result from the leakage of battery acid.
• Pay attention to the correct polarity (+/-) when exchanging the battery.
• Do not subject the battery to any extreme conditions, by – for example – storing it on radiators or under direct sunlight. Increased risk of leakage!
• Clean the battery and device contacts, as needed, before inserting the battery.
• Do not make any modifications to the scales. Only allow repairs to be carried out at a specialist workshop. Repairs carried out incorrectly can considerably endanger the user.
• There are feet on the underside of the scales. Since floor surfaces are made from various materials and are treated with diverse care products, the possibility cannot be completely excluded that some of these substances contain constituents that attack and soften the feet of the device. If necessary, place an anti-slip underlay beneath the scales.

Symbols on the scales

Auto-on

The scales automatically switch on when you step onto the weighing surface with a little force.

WARNING: When the weighing surface is damp, there is a risk of slipping.

Start-up

Removing the iso-strips

When the scales are delivered, the battery is already inserted and fitted with iso-strips to prevent it from discharging ahead of time. In order to start up the scales, you must remove the iso-strips.

The battery compartment is located on the underside of the device.

1. With a little force, press on the arrow on the battery compartment cover and push it upwards and off.
2. Pull out the iso-strips.
3. Push the battery compartment cover back into place.

Choosing the unit of measurement

When the scales are delivered, the unit of measurement is set to "kg" as standard. However, the measurement result can also be displayed in the English units of measurement, "lb" (pound) or "st:lb" (stone:pound).

• Press the kg lb st button next to the battery compartment on the reverse side of the scales repeatedly. Pay attention to the display indicator.

Positioning the scales

• Place the scales on an even, firm, and dry surface. Do not place the scales on carpet.

This is how your body analyser scales work

Your new body analyser scales work using so-called BIA-technology (Bioelectric Impedance Analysis) This involves an undetectable, completely harmless and weak current flowing through your body.

The measurement takes place via sensors that are mounted on the weighing surface.

• The current flows relatively unhindered through the fluid contained in muscle mass.
• In fat mass, the resistance is greater. This resistance is measured.

Together with your personal data (sex, weight, age, and height), the scales calculate the following information about your body composition:

Weight
Body fat proportion in %
Body water in %
- Muscle mass %
Bone mass (kg), and your daily
Basal metabolism in Kcal (energy demand)

The scales are equipped with 12 memory cells in total.

Measurement errors

Measurement or calculation errors may arise for the following groups of people during the body analysis:

People who ....

... spend 10 hours or more per week playing sport,

... are professional athletes, body builders, and endurance athletes,

...are over 70 years old.

...are less than 10 years old.

The "normal weighing function" (see next chapter) is not affected by these considerations.

Measuring your weight

For normal weighing - without body analysis - you do not have to input any data.

1. With a little force, step once briefly onto the weighing surface.

"0.0" and the set unit of measurement, e.g. "kg", will be shown on the display.

1. Position yourself on the scales. Remain standing still and do not hold on to anything.

The measured weight will be displayed shortly thereafter.

A few seconds after you step off the weighing surface, the scales will switch off automatically.

1. Press SET.

On the display, a flashing memory cell number (1-12) will be shown.

1. Using the or the button, select the desired memory cell.
2. Press SET.

Using the or the button, choose your sex: for male, or for female.

1. Press SET.

On the display, the preset value for height (e.g. "165" for cm) will flash.

1. Using the or the button, enter your height.
2. Press SET.

On the display, the preset value for age (preset: 25) will flash.

1. Using the or the button, enter your age.
2. Finally, press SET. You have thus entered the required data.

On the display, a memory cell number will flash again and you can proceed, as previously described, and enter the data of another person.

Or wait a few seconds until "0.0" is shown on the display and you can undertake your body analysis.

If you do nothing else, the scales will automatically switch off after a few seconds.

• If you hold down the or the button, the forward and backward flow of the displayed data will occur more quickly.
• Entered data can only be overwritten by making a new entry.

Body analysis

• Body analysis is only possible if your data has been entered (see previous chapter).
  See the chapter "Weighing Tips".

• Briefly press SET, in order to switch the scales on.

• Using the or the button, select the memory cell in which you have recorded your personal body data.

The data is briefly displayed, then "0.0" and the selected unit of measurement, e.g. "kg".

1. Position yourself barefoot on the scales. Remain standing still and do not hold on to anything.

2. In doing so, ensure each foot is placed on a sensor.

3. There must be no contact between your feet, your legs, your calves, or your thighs. Otherwise, the measurement will be imprecise.

The measured weight will be displayed shortly thereafter. The indicator "o" then runs across the display; the body analysis is being carried out. Remain standing still.

Your measured values will then be shown to you repeatedly on the display:

Symbol Meaning

1. Your body weight in the set unit of measurement
2. Your body fat proportion in % with simultaneous evaluation indicator:

$$ \begin{array}{l} = \text {t o o l i t l e b o d y f a t} \ \mathbf {i} = \text {s l e n d e r} \ \mathbf {i} = \text {n o r m a l} \ \mathbf {I l l i} = \text {t o o m u c h b o d y f a t} \ \text {I I I} = \text {o b e s e} \ \end{array} $$

1. Your body water in %
2. Your muscle mass in %
3. Your bone mass in kg
4. Your basal metabolism in kcal

Calling up stored values

After an analysis has been performed, you can display the values of your last measurements at any time.

1. Press SET and select your memory cell.
   The memory cell indicator stops flashing after a few seconds and the indicator "0.0" appears on the display, as well as the unit of measurement, e.g. "kg".
2. By pressing or once, select the automatic display or, by repeatedly pressing select the manual display of the last set of measurements.
3. Press SET in order to switch the scales back into analysis mode.

Weighing tips

• Weighing for the body analysis can only be carried out barefoot. In doing so, your feet should only be lightly moistened. Completely dry feet can lead to false results, since the electrical conductivity will then poor.

• During the measuring process, stand still and do not hold onto anything.

• Do not weigh yourself directly after unusual physical exertion.

• Do not weigh yourself immediately after standing up. Wait approximately fifteen minutes. In this time, the water is able to distribute through your body.

• Always attempt to weigh yourself at the same time, in order to obtain comparable values.

Notes on the ascertained values

The proportion of body fat gives the amount of fat as a percentage of the total weight of the body. A blanket recommendation for this value does not exist, since this depends significantly on sex (because of different physiques) and age.

Body fat is vital for day-to-day body function. It protects organs, cushions joints, regulates body temperature, stores vitamins, and serves the body as an energy store.

For women, a body fat proportion between 10% and 13% is essential; for men, between 2% and 5% with the exception of competitive sportsmen.

The proportion of body fat is not an unambiguous indicator of health. Excessive body weight and a too-high proportion of body fat are being linked with the appearance of many diseases of affluence such as diabetes, cardiovascular illnesses, etc.

Physical inactivity and poor diet are often triggers for these diseases. There is a clear causal connection between excess weight and physical inactivity.

A considerable part of the human body consists of water. This body water is variably distributed throughout the whole body. Lean muscle tissue contains about 75% water, blood around 83% water, body fat approx. 25% water and bones have a water proportion of about 22% .

In men approx. 60% of body mass consists of water.
- In women, that value lies around 55% (determined by a higher proportion of body fat).

Of this total body water approx. two thirds is stored in the cells and is therefore called intracellular water. The other third is extracellular water.

10-16 < 18% 18-28%	29-35% >35%	57-67%

56-85< 14% 14-22% 23-27% >27% 42-56%

For muscle mass there are no universal standard values.

Changing the battery

A battery change is necessary when "Lo" or nothing at all is shown on the display.

When changing the battery, bear the following in mind:

• The data that has been ascertained and entered up to that point remains stored on the scales.
• Only use the type of battery that is specified in the "Technical Data".
• Pay attention to the correct polarity (+/-) when inserting the battery. The plus pole (+) must point upwards.
• Dispose of the old battery in an environmentally responsible way (see "Disposal").

Cleaning

NOTE on material damage

• Do not immerse the scales in water or other liquids.

• Do not under any circumstances use harsh, scraping, or abrasive cleaning agents or the like to clean the scales. If you do, the surface could be scratched.

• Wipe down the scales as needed using a lightly dampened, soft cloth.

• Disinfect the weighing surface and the sensors from time to time using a suitable disinfecting agent (available at specialist retailers and pharmacies).
