Frequently Asked Questions - Jennifer BA 825 ADE

How does the body composition analyzer scale work?

The scale sends a low electrical current to measure the body's resistance. Water in muscles conducts well, fat blocks. Combined with your personal data (height, age, gender), it calculates the percentage of fat mass, water mass and muscle mass.

What are the recommended usage conditions?

Measure preferably in the morning, on an empty stomach, after going to the toilet, barefoot and undressed. Avoid variations (sport, sauna, meals). Always measure at the same time for comparable results.

How to program my personal data?

Turn on the scale with the Tap-on function. Press SET, select a memory location (1-12) with ▲/▼, confirm with SET. Then enter gender, height and age in the same way.

How to perform a body analysis?

Select your memory with ▲/▼ after turning on the scale. Wait for the display of 0.0 kg, then step on barefoot and still. The results (weight, fat mass, water, muscle) are displayed alternately.

What does the error message Lo mean?

Lo means low batteries. Replace the batteries with two new CR2032 batteries respecting polarity.

What to do if the screen shows Err?

Err indicates an overload: the weight exceeds 150 kg. Remove the load immediately to avoid damaging the sensor.

Can I use this scale if I have a pacemaker?

No, people with a pacemaker or electronic implant should not use this scale due to the low electrical current emitted.

How to clean the scale?

Clean with a damp cloth. Do not use solvents, abrasive products and do not immerse the scale in water.

Why do results vary between morning and evening?

The distribution of water in the body changes during the day. In the morning, water is not yet distributed, resistance is higher, which may indicate a higher fat percentage. Always measure at the same time to follow trends.

How to change the weight unit (kg/lb/st)?

Under the scale, above the battery compartment, there is a small black push button marked kg/lb/st. Press to select the desired unit.

Thank you for your decision to purchase this high quality body analyser scale. Please read this instruction manual prior to the start up and keep this user instruction careful to have this information on hand whenever it is needed.

1. How does the body analyser work?

Through this new revolutionary scale, you will be able to get information about your body composition with reference to your weight, body fat %, body water % and muscle mass %. First of all, you have to enter once your personal data like gender, body height, and age under your selected personal memory location. Afterwards a measurement is as simple as on a normal bathroom scale. You have only to push your personal memory location, step on the scale and within a few seconds your weight, body fat, body water, and muscle mass will be indicated. The analysis is based on the measurement of the body's electrical resistance. A low, safe electrical signal passes freely through fluids contained in lean tissue, such as muscle and blood, but meets resistance passing through fat tissue. The body analyser accurately measures the resistance and with reference to your personal data use it to calculate elements of body composition.

2. Conditions to use

If possible, the measurement should be done undressed but always barefoot.

By nature, a body is subject of fluctuations (for example loss of water after taking exercise or after a sauna visit, after a meal, etc.). To enable comparable readings it is important to take the measurements as possible always under the same conditions.

In order to ensure that the results of analysis are accurate and consistent, please keep the measurement conditions constant always at the same daytime. In the morning, directly after you've woken up, your body will be dehydrated and also the majority of fluid will be stored in the central trunk area. This means that the resistance is relatively high because of the poor conductivity in the body. By intensify moving during the day progresses the fluid becomes more evenly distributed through the limbs and increasing the accuracy of the readings. To get a realistic result it is important to take your readings at the same time and under the same conditions every day. The easiest way to stick the rule, measure always in the morning, 15 minutes after you've got up, either before or after you've gone to the bathroom.

In spite of a very low electrical signal, this body analyzer is not suitable for persons with heart pacemaker or other electronic medical implants! There is no risk for persons with none electronic implant for instance a titanium plate in the knee. However, metal conducts the electric current extremely well and therefore the scale implicates the body fat value beautiful means the actual body fat value is higher as indicated. However, tendencies may be determined as well.

7. Error Messages

Lo' = Batteries are used up - Please replace the batteries with the intended type (2 x CR2032).

Err' = Overload - The weight exceeds the maximum capacity of 150 kg. Please immediately remove the critical load to avoid load cell damage.

Err Yd = Low fat indication - Under 5% body fat is not possible to indicate.

Err Yfi = High fat indication Over 75% body fat is not possible to indicate.

C = Incorrect weighing/ measuring process - For example, the scale is placed unstable or you do not remain stationary on the weighing platform.

CE-Conformity. This device features radio interference suppression in compliance with valid EC Regulation 2004/108

Note: The displayed value may be adversely affected under extreme electromagnetic influences, e.g. when using a radio unit in the immediate vicinity of the device. Once the interference has been rectified, the product can once again be used for its intended purpose. The device may have to be switched-on again.

The body fat content is shown as the amount of stored fat as a percentage of total body weight. There is no generally accepted set value as this varies significantly according to gender (due to the different build) and age. Body fat is vital for basic body functions. It's protecting organs, cushioning joints, regulating body temperature, storing vitamins and serves the body as energy storage. As essential for women a minimum body fat proportion between 10% and 13% and for men between 10% and 13% is requested with the exception of competitive athletes.

Body fat is not a clear indicator for health. Too high body weight and a too high body fat proportion are linked to the incidence of many civilization diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, etc. Lack of movement and improper nutrition are often the prime course for these diseases. There is a obvious direct relationship between overweight and lack of movement.

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

The average total body water percentage range for healthy men is between 50 - 65%. The equivalent value for women is approximately 45 - 60% due to the higher body fat content. About two third of the total body water is stored in the cells and is therefore called intra cellular. The other third of the total body water is extra cellular body water.

There are no validated standards for muscle mass.

Due to menstrual cycle and hormonal changes women experience greater changes in their hydration level. Retaining fluid may cause the weight to fluctuate day-to-day. This will also affect the body fat percentage readings. If the hydration level is high the body fat percentage is slightly less a less hydration level means the body fat percentage is slightly higher.

There is no healthy risk for pregnancy. The body analyzer is absolutely safe for the mother and her unborn baby. However, due to the changes in water content in the mother's body, the readings should not be interpreted as completely accurate.
