1. IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES

WARNING

• Intended use: the device is only intended for weighing humans and for recording your personal fitness data. The device is only intended for private use and not for medical or commercial purposes. The device must only be used for the purpose for which it was designed and in the manner specified in these instructions for use.
• The device may not be used by people with medical implants (e.g. pacemakers), as this may affect their functionality.
• Do not use the device during pregnancy.
• Danger of tipping! Never place the scale on an uneven surface (see Figure A). Never step onto the outer edge of the scale on just one side (see Figure B).
• Danger of slipping! Do not step onto the scale with wet feet (see Figure B). 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 tomography).
• 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 anatomical 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

• Always insert the batteries correctly, taking into account the polarity (+ / -). Keep batteries clean and dry and away from water. Always select the correct battery type.
• Never short-circuit batteries and battery compartment contacts.
• Never charge, forcibly discharge, heat, disassemble, deform, encapsulate or modify batteries.
• Never weld or solder on batteries.
• Never mix batteries of different manufacturers, capacities (new and used), size and type within a device.
• Risk of explosion! Failure to comply with the points mentioned above can result in personal injury, overheating, leakage, venting, breakage, explosion or fire.
• If a battery has leaked, put on protective gloves and clean the battery compartment with a dry cloth.
• If your skin or eyes come into contact with battery fluid, rinse the affected areas with water and seek medical assistance.
• Choking hazard! Keep batteries out of the reach of children. Seek medical attention immediately if swallowed.
• Never allow children to replace batteries without adult supervision.
• Store batteries away from metal objects in a well-ventilated, dry and cool place.
• Never expose batteries to direct sunlight or rain.

4. USAGE

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 5 on the scale.
• 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 measured values and to display additional values (body water content, bone mineral mass, BMR/AMR, metabolic age).

The scale has 8 memory spaces for different 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:

1. 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

1. Start the app and follow the instructions.
2. Select BF 880 in the app and press the SET button 3.
3. Select WIFI network (SSID) and enter password (network key) to enable data transfer to scale via WIFI. If successful, the cloud 12 and WIFI 13 icons will appear on the display.
4. Set up scale user: if the display 1 shows the scale user (e.g. "U: 1") and "0.0", carry out the initial measurement (for subsequent automatic personal recognition if within +/- 3 kg of the last measurement of this scale user).

4.3 Weighing yourself

1. Step onto the scale barefoot. Stand still on the electrodes 5 with both legs, making sure to distribute your weight evenly. The scale switches on automatically.
2. Your body weight appears on the display 1 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 3 kg apart, use the ^ button 4 to select the correct scale user and wait 3 seconds.
3. The following values will then appear one after the other.

BMI	Body mass index (a healthy value is 18.5 – 25)
BF	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

1. If a Bluetooth ^® 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 indicated by the measurement data transfer symbol ^[11] . 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 4 repeatedly until your scale user is displayed, and wait 3 seconds. Then take the diagnostic measurement.

Note: To display your most recent diagnostic measurement, briefly press the scale with your foot, press the ^ button 4 repeatedly until your scale user is displayed, and wait 3 seconds. Then press the √ button 2 to display the most recent diagnostic measurement. To display further measurements, press the √ button 2 again. Up to 30 measurements can be shown on the display 1.

Note: If the measurement is carried out with shoes or socks on, then only the weight is displayed (when the scale user is recognised, the weight and BMI are displayed and saved).
