). Do not step onto the scale when the surface is wet. Do not step onto the scale wearing socks.

• Please note that measuring tolerances are possible for technical reasons as this scale is not calibrated for use in a professional medical context.

• This scale works on the principle of B.I.A. (bioelectrical impedance analysis). When this measurement of the electrical resistance (impedance) is considered alongside constants and/or individual values (age, height, gender, activity level), the body fat percentage and other variables in the body can be calculated. Please note that the values calculated by the diagnostic bathroom scale only represent an approximation of the actual medical analytical values for the body. Only a specialist doctor can precisely establish the body fat, body water, muscle percentage and bone structure using medical methods (e.g. computer to

• Obtain professional advice from appropriately qualified personnel (e.g. a doctor) when undertaking any treatment or diet to address being overweight or underweight. The health values determined using the scale can assist the qualified personnel in their diagnoses.

• Inaccurate or implausible results may occur when determining body fat in children, performance athletes or people with medical/physical limitations (e.g. oedema symptoms, osteoporosis, people who are taking cardiovascular medication or medication which changes the vascular system, people with major anatom

ical abnormalities on the legs).

• Repairs may only be carried out by Beurer Customer Services or authorised retailers. Never open the scale yourself. Safety notes on handling batteries

4.1 Prerequisites for taking measurements correctly

• Place the scale on a flat and stable surface.

• Wherever possible, weigh yourself at the same time every day (ideally in the morning), after having been to the toilet, on an empty stomach and without clothing.

• To determine your body fat, always stand barefoot on the electrodes

• Stand up straight and still during measurement. Ensure that your weight is evenly distributed.

4.2 Creating scale users in the “beurer HealthManager Pro” app

The “beurer HealthManager Pro” app makes it easier for you to create user data, is required to transfer meas- ured values and to display additional values (body water content, bone mineral mass, BMR/AMR, metabolic age). The scale has 8 memory spaces for dierent scale users, enabling you to save the various members of your family, for example. You can use the “beurer HealthManager Pro” app to conveniently set up the individual app users and their corresponding scale user via your smartphone. To do so, proceed as follows:

Download the free “beurer HealthManager Pro” app from the Apple App Store (iOS) or from Google Play (Android™). This way to the “beurer HealthManager Pro” app

2. Start the app and follow the instructions.

3. Select BF 880 in the app and press the SET button

4.3 Weighing yourself

1. Step onto the scale barefoot. Stand still on the electrodes

with both legs, making sure to distribute your weight evenly. The scale switches on automatically.

2. Your body weight appears on the display

. The scale user detected (e.g. “U: 1” for scale user 1) should then appear automatically. If the scale has detected several possible scale users or the last weight is more than 3kg apart, use the button

to select the correct scale user and wait 3 seconds.

3. The following values will then appear one after the other.

Body mass index (a healthy value is 18.5 – 25) Body fat percentage (a healthy value is 16 – 28% for women and 11 – 23% for men) Muscle percentage (a healthy value is 27 – 43% for women and 37 – 57% for men) Note: For more details of the values, please see the app or the FAQs at: www.beurer.com

or WIFI connection has been established and the user measurements have been successfully taken (e.g. for U: 1), the values will be transferred to the “beurer HealthManager Pro” app. This is indicat- ed by the measurement data transfer symbol

. If the data cannot be transferred, up to 30 values will be stored per user. As soon as a connection is established, they are transferred with the next measurements. Note: If the automatic scale user detection function is not working, briefly press the scale with your foot, press the button

repeatedly until your scale user is displayed, and wait 3 seconds. Then take the diagnostic measurement.17 Note: To display your most recent diagnostic measurement, briefly press the scale with your foot, press the button
