SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

• People with pacemakers or other types of electronic implants should not use this product because the measuring method of the resistance might interfere with its good functioning.
  • This product is suitable for adults and children of age 10 or older.

If you have any doubt about the use of this product, please consult your physician.

• The scale uses the Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) method to measure the body fat, the total body water, the bone mass and the muscular mass.
• BIA = the scale has electrodes measuring the body electric resistance (muscles offer less resistance than fat, and that can be correlated with the body weight).
• The integrated computer calculates the body fat and other data percentages based on age, sex and height.
• This method is quick, sure and accurate and gives a result within 30 seconds.
• The scale has a memory for 10 persons at most, which allows the whole family to use it without having to re-enter all data at every use.

Why is measuring the body fat (bf) so important?

For years, obesity has been defined as the presence of superfluous body fat. It is not a matter of sheer body weight. Some people have a strong proportion of fat balanced with muscular mass, and some slim people experience a large increase of body fat. The body fat is an important part of the human body and it deals with a certain number of essential tasks: protecting our joints, storing vitamins, regulating our body temperature. However, fat may contribute to a lot of stress for the human body (particularly for the cardiovascular system) and may also lead to diabetes. The goal is not only to reduce fat as much as possible, but rather to reach and maintain a good rate between muscular mass and body fat. Therefore, the control of these two levels, weight and fat, is a fundamental requirement for a good physical condition and a good health.

Why is water content such an important measure?

After oxygen, water is the most important of the nutritive elements which the body requires to work efficiently. Water plays an essential role in almost all bodily functions and contributes notably to regulate the body temperature, carry nutrients, moisturize and purify the skin, improve the digestive system, lubricate joints. Every process in our body is dependent on water and most people do not drink enough water. By keeping your body liquid level under control, you can react quickly to regulate fluids when necessary.

MEASURING METHOD

The measuring method accepted by scientists worldwide is called "Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis". With this method, a weak and imperceptible electric current travels through the body (this current is totally harmless for the human body*). The current, which has the capacity to circulate more easily through liquid in our muscles than through fat, goes through the legs and allows measuring the body electric resistance. This resistance depends on the quantity of water in the body (our muscles contain about 73% of water).

After measuring the electric resistance, this value can be used to calculate directly the muscular mass of our lower limbs. Our gender and our height are taken into account to determine muscular mass as a whole.

On the contrary, body fat acts as an insulating substance (it reduces the capacity of the current to go through) and thus cannot be calculated directly. It is more about determining the measured weight indirectly using the formula Fat mass = Body weight - Muscular mass.

This method allows us to take the whole-body fat into account. The water content of the body is measured by the calculation of the 73% of the muscular mass.

BEFORE THE FIRST USE

This appliance works with 2 AAA-type batteries (2 x 1.5V, included).

Open the lid of the battery housing, on the rear part of the scale. Place the batteries, respecting the polarity indicated, and then close the lid. You can now use your scale.

Your scale allows you to use the metric measurement system (kilograms) OR the imperial system (pounds) OR the British system (stone). Choose the measurement system by pressing the “UNIT” switch. LCD screen will display “kg...lb...St” depending on the measurement system you wish to use. This switch is situated on the rear side of the appliance.

Note: if Ib. is selected, then the height setup of the body analyzer will be in ft. and in.. If kg is selected, the height will be entered in cm.

Remember which user uses which memory.

- Select your gender (the icon "Man" or "Woman" is blinking – see LCD display -), and choose "normal mode" or "athlete mode", by pushing the "▲" or "▼" button and confirm your choice by pushing on the "SET" button.

PO 170 cm

- Select your height by pushing the "▲" or "▼" button and confirm your choice by pushing on the "SET" button. The scale has a range going from 3 ft. 3in. – 7 ft. 10 in. (100 to 240 centimeters) with a one inch graduation (one-centimeter graduation if metric system is selected).

P1 170 cm

- Select your age by pushing on the "▲" or "▼" button and confirm your choice by pushing on the "SET" button. The range goes from 10 to 80 years old and the graduation is 1 year.

age P I 30

• Data capture is now finished.
- Data can be modified and/or you can add members of the family repeating the process described here above.
- It is recommended to proceed with a weighing immediately after entering the personal data to activate the user recognition feature (see: Automatic user identification).

Weighing and analyzing the body data:

• Take off your shoes and socks.

- Step on the scale (stand right in order to distribute the weight evenly), making sure your both feet touch the metallic electrodes on each side of the scale.

Note: if your user memory is not selected automatically when stepping on the scale, then first press “SET” and press the ▲ button to choose your own memory (0-9) and press “SET” 4 times to enter or confirm the data (the screen displays the memory number, the gender, the height, the age with each time you press on “SET”.

- Your weight is displayed on the screen (stay on the scales during the whole process).

P I 70.0 kg

- The following screen displays "☐ ☐ ☐ ☐" for a couple of seconds, then the squares will disappear, and the following will be displayed on the screen alternatively (twice) with their symbol:

• The body fat percentage (BF),
• The water percentage (TBW),
• The B.M.I. * (Body Mass Index)
• The muscular mass (MM)
• The bone mass (BM) in kg or lb.
• The recommended calorie count
• And then the weight again ...

- After displaying the body data analysis twice, the scale will display the weight again, and lets the user confirm the information again. After this, the scale will turn off automatically.

Automatic user identification

• If you correctly measured the body data the first time (or last time you used the scale), the scale will memorize the user's weight. When doing the next measurement, the scale will automatically "recognize" the user and you will not have to enter your personal data again. This automatic user identification function requires though that 2 different users have more than 2kg / 4.4 lb. difference in mass.
• Stand directly on the scale, wait for the weight to stabilize.
• Let the scale display the weight and body analysis measurements, and display the correct user profile (P0-P9)
• If the weight is similar for 2 users (or more), use the "▲" or "▼" button to choose your correct profile.

UP DOWN PIPE

Weighing only

The scale has a step-on function that will only display the weight in case no user information was entered, or if the weight is too different than any already-set user's weight. If you step down after the weight is displayed, the scale will turn off after a few seconds.

Remark: If the quantity of body fat is very high or very low, check if the right measurement system was chosen (male or female), if your feet are dry and clean and if they are placed correctly on the electrodes. Wet feet might alter the body fat measurement. If this should happen, step off the scales and repeat the instructions.

Body fat proportion is an individual characteristic. The figures hereafter can be used as a rough guide for your fitness profile.

The following charts shows how body data differs from one person to another and how it depends on gender and age. The figures below are to be considered as a rough estimate, if you have any doubt, please consult your physician or dietetics specialist.

ERROR INDICATION

• If the display shows symbols randomly or if the scale doesn't turn off automatically, it means that your scale has a problem (wrong initialization or weighing error).
• Step off the scale and wait for it to turn off.
• You can start again.
• If the problem goes on, remove the batteries for 10 seconds, and then put them back in place.

OVERLOADING INDICATOR

If the symbol appears on the LCD screen, it means that the maximum weight or measurement range accepted by your scale is exceeded, please step off in order not to damage your scale.

LOW BATTERY INDICATOR

If the symbol is displayed on the LCD screen, it means that the batteries of your scale should be replaced (see paragraph "Before the first use").

BATTERY

If your appliance does not work properly, it is probably because the batteries are discharged. In that case, replace them by new ones of the same type (see paragraph “Before the first use”). Please dispose of the old batteries in an environmentally friendly way.
