INSTRUCTION MANUAL To input personal information. Set up personal data(gender/age/stature) before using, it can set up 8 users’ data.

1. Press “set” to enter the mode of setup, the flashing Pn (n can be 1~8)means the memory of the data.

Press & to change number, gender, stature, age, then press “SET” to confirm. The scale will back to the mode of weighing after finishing setting up.

2. Set up the gender: press UP, DOWN (can select female, male, athlete mode), then press SET to confirm.

3. Set up the stature: Press UP, DOWN, and then press SET to confirm.

4. Set up age: Press UP, DOWN, and then press SET to confirm.15

To weigh and measure

1. After setting up of the data, when LCD displays 0.0 kg, you may weigh or stand on the scale platform

directly, the weight value will be shown after a few seconds.

2. After the weight is stable, the flashing “ 0 ” means that the scale is measuring the fat, the “0” signal moves

from left to right for one times, and then shows the data.

3. Display the measurement

The LCD screen then displays weight, body masses (fat percentage, water percentage, muscle mass and bone mass), BMI and Basal Metabolic Rate data for three times.16

Automatically identify the user measurement.

1. When the user stand on the scale directly, the scale will turn on and lock the weight.

2. When the weight is stable, display moving “0” means it is measuring. If it can identify the user successfully,

it will display the measurement. If it detects many similar weight, it will display the relative user No., Use up to choose the left user No. and use down to choose the right user No. After finished choosing the user, it will display the measurement and turn off. If you don’t choose the user, it will display the user No. several seconds and turn off.

3. If it occurred error or it can’t identify the user, it will display the present weight and turn off.

REPLACE THE BATTERIES

Lo appears on the screen, when batteries are low and need to be changed. To change the batteries, open the battery cover on the back of the scale unit. Remove used battery and insert new ones. Batteries should be removed and replaced by adults only. Only use recommended batteries or those of the same or equivalent type. Do not mix old and new batteries or batteries of different types. Batteries are to be inserted with the correct polarity.17

1. What is bio-electrical body mass analysis?

Bio-electrical body mass analysis is the resistance created by the human body when an electric current passes through it. All body fat analysis bathroom scales work fundamentally on the same principle, which consists of measuring the bio-electrical impedance of the human body, and combining it with the subject’s morphometric parameters (height, weight, gender, age, etc.) so as to calculate his/her pre-supposed amount of body fat, based on clinical measurements.

2. Why is it important to monitor percentage body fat (%BF)?

Weight is a useful indicator but not sufficient to monitor your health. Weight change in itself does not indicate whether it was the weight of body fat or muscle that had changed. In weight management, it is desirable that muscle mass be maintained while body fat is lost. Thus, monitoring the percentage fat of the body is an important step toward successful weight management and body health. The optimal %BF of an individual varies according to age and gender. The table as follows may be used as a guide: Standard for Men Standard for Women PRODUCT SPECIFICATION IMPORTANT INFORMATION TO KNOW BEFORE USING YOUR BODY FAT SCALE Rating Age 20-29 30-39 40-49 50-59 60+ Low < 13 % < 14 % < 16 % < 17 % < 18 % Optimal 14-20 % 15-21 % 17-23 % 18-24 % 19-25 % Moderate 21-23 % 22-24 % 24-26 % 25-27 % 26-28 % Élevé > 23 % > 24 % > 26 % > 27 % > 28 % Rating Age 20-29 30-39 40-49 50-59 60+ Low < 19 % < 20 % < 21 % < 22 % < 23 % Optimal 20-28 % 21-29 % 22-30 % 23-31 % 24-32 % Moderate 29-31 % 30-32 % 31-33 % 32-33 % 33-35 % High > 31 % > 32 % > 33 % > 34 % > 35 %18

3. How is percentage body fat (%BF) estimated?

%BF is measured by a method called Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA). With the BIA technology, a low intensity electrical signal is sent through the body. The signal is very low and causes no bodily harm. Depending on the amount of body fat of the individual, the electrical signal will flow with a different degree of difficulty. The difficulty with which a signal flows through the body is called electrical impedance. Hence, by measuring the electrical impedance and applying to the data a proprietary algorithm, %BF can be estimated. Please be reminded that the %BF estimated with the scale represents only a good approximation of your actual body fat. There exist clinical methods of estimating body fat that can be ordered by your physician.

4. Why is it important to monitor percentage Total Body Water (%TBW) in the body?

Water is an essential component of the body and its level is one of the health-indicators. Water makes up approximately between 50-70% of the body’s weight. It is present proportionally more in lean tissue compared to fat tissue. Water is a medium for biochemical reactions that regulate body functions. Water provides form to cells; helps to maintain body temperature; provides moisture to skin and mucosa; cushions vital organs; lubricates joints and is a component of many body fluids. The amount of water in the body fluctuates with the hydration level of the body and state of health. Monitoring the level of body water can be a useful tool for one’s health maintenance. Similar to body fat estimation, the %TBW function provided in this scale is based on BIA. The estimated %TBW may vary according to your hydration level, that is, how much water you have drunk or how much you have sweated immediately prior to the measurement. For better accuracy, avoid fluctuation in hydration level prior to the measurement. The accuracy of the scale in estimating TBW will also decrease with individuals suffering from diseases that tend to accumulate water in the body. The optimal %TBW of an individual varies according to age and gender. The table as follows may be used as a guide: % Body Fat Range Optimal % total Body Water Range Men 4 à 14 % 70 à 63 % 15 à 21 % 63 à 57 % 22 à 24 % 57 à 55 % 25 % and over 55 à 37 % Women 4 à 20 % 70 à 58 % 21 à 29 % 58 à 52 % 30 à 32 % 52 à 49 % 33 % and over 49 à 37 % Please be reminded that the % TBW estimated with the scale represents only a good approximation of your TBW. There exist clinical methods of estimating body fat that can be ordered by your physician.19

5. When should I use the scale’s body fat and total body water functions?

For maximum accuracy and repeatability, it is recommended that the scale’s body fat and total body water functions be used at approximately the same time of the day, e.g. before breakfast in the morning. It is also a good practice to avoid swings in hydration level of the body prior to the measurement. Establishing your own baseline value of %BF and %TBW and track their changes is better than merely comparing your %BF and %TBW value to the population’s normal value.

6. What is the purpose of the “Basal Metabolic Rate” function?

The Basal Metabolic Rate shown on the scale represents the energy required to meet the body’s vital needs at rest. It is calculated based on age, gender and body fat. Depending on the physical activity, a coefficient must be applied in order to know the daily calorie needs. Below are the coefficients to apply: - Sedentary (no activity or very little exercise) : BMR x 1.2. - Slightly active (exercise between 1 and 3 times a week): BMR x 1.375. - Active (regular physical activity between 3 and 5 times a week): BMR x 1.55. - Very active (daily exercise or sustained sport): BMR x 1.725. - Extremely active: (great athlete or very physical work) : BMR x 1.9.

7. Why is the Athlete Mode necessary in a Body Fat Analyzer?

It has been found that body fat estimation using BIA could overestimate the percentage body fat of adult elite athletes. The physiological variation of athletes in bone density and level of hydration are two of the reasons said to account for the difference. The Athlete mode is selectable only for adults of 18 years of age or older.

8. Definition of an Athlete

The general consensus among researchers is that a quantitative dimension could be used in defining an athlete. For example, an athlete could be defined as a person who consistently trains a minimum of three times per week for two hours each time, in order to improve specific skills required in the performance of their specific sport and/or activity.
