Frequently Asked Questions - BK70 BLACK & DECKER

How do I set up my personal profile on the BK70 scale?

Switch on the scale, wait for the program number to blink on the LCD, then use the adjustment buttons (up/down) to select a number (1-12). Press Set to confirm. Follow the menus to enter measurement system, gender, height, and age.

How can I change the measurement system from metric to imperial?

Before a measurement, wait for the athlete mode message to appear on the screen, then press and hold the Set button for 1 second. The measurement system will toggle between metric and imperial.

What is the athlete mode and how do I activate it?

Athlete mode is for people aged 15-50 who train intensively over 12 hours per week and have a low resting heart rate. To activate, wait for the athlete mode prompt on the screen, then press and hold the UP adjustment button for 1 second. The athlete mode symbol will appear.

How do I measure body fat and water percentage?

Remove the remote control, switch on the scale, select your user profile, then tap the center of the scale to activate. Step on barefoot when the red indicator lights up. The weight, body fat percentage, and body water percentage will be displayed sequentially.

What should I do if the scale shows an error or overload warning?

If an error occurs during measurement, the screen will display an error icon. Remove your weight and try again. If the overload warning appears because the weight exceeds 150 kg, immediately step off to prevent damage.

How do I replace the batteries in the scale and remote control?

For the scale, remove the battery cover on the bottom, insert 4 AAA batteries in the correct orientation, and replace the cover. For the remote control, slide it off the scale, remove its battery cover, insert 2 AAA batteries, and reattach the cover.

Can I use the BK70 scale if I have a pacemaker?

No. The scale uses a small electrical current for body composition analysis. It must not be used by pregnant women or persons with cardiac pacemakers or other implanted medical devices.

How do I clean the scale?

Clean the scale with a mild soap and a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive or solvent-based cleaners. Never immerse any part of the scale in water or other liquids.

What does the low battery indicator look like?

The LCD screen will show a battery icon when batteries are low. A symbol near the remote display indicates remote batteries need replacing, and one near the scale display means scale batteries are low. Replace them promptly.

How do I dispose of the BK70 scale and its batteries?

Do not dispose of the scale with household waste. Recycle it through separate collection at municipal waste sites or return it to an authorized Black & Decker repair agent. Remove batteries and recycle them at a local battery recycling station.

Measuring the body fat and water percentage (fig. C, D & E)

These measurements are an indication of your level of fitness and your physical health. Consult your physician or a qualified dietician for appropriate advice regarding further action.

The measurements are performed using the technique of BIA, a highly reliable method for analyzing the composition of the human body. BIA, short for bioelectrical impedance analysis, measures the resistance to the flow of a small, harmless low-level electrical current using the built-in electrodes. Personal data like gender, height and age, form the key factors to the analysis results processed by the software program.

When using this application, we recommend that you take regular measurements, always around the same time of day and under the same conditions.

Refer to the tables below for an indicative interpretation of the analysis results.

Note:

– The application only works if you are barefoot.
- Excessive drinking or eating, exercising, medical conditions, use of medication, the female menstrual cycle etc., have an effect on the measurement results.

- Warning! This application must not be used by pregnant women and people with a cardiac pacemaker or any other medical device implanted in their body.

◆Remove the remote control from the appliance.
◆Switch the unit on.
◆Wait for the message (10) to appear blinking on the screen (4).
