Before use

Before you use the scale for the first time, read the instruction manual carefully and keep it for future use.

Body fat percentage – what does that mean?

Your body consists of fat mass (fat cells) and a total mass of muscles (blood, muscles, skeleton etc.). A certain amount of fat is vital for the functioning of the body and helps protect the body against illnesses and cold etc., but overweight is unhealthy.

In order to avoid a number of complications, overweight (in the form of fat) should be prevented, given the fact that a high fat percentage increases the risk of heart diseases, diabetes, hypertension etc. For most people regular exercise and healthy food help increasing/preserve the muscle mass and reduce the fat mass.

OBH Nordica Fitness Body composition scale

A normal scale registers the total weight. This scale makes it possible to see your weight and to estimate your body fat, bone and muscular fat percentage. For the estimation, the scale makes use of a technique called bioelectrical impedance analysis. A weak and completely harmless bioelectrical impulse is sent through your body and since this impulse passes through all muscles and fat mass at high speed, the micro processor of the scale can analyse the speed of the signal. At the same time, the user's height, age, gender, and target weight and the real weight are taken into account when calculating and, by means of such information the scale can estimate the body composition.

Analysis of body fat in % intervals: 5\~60%

The following table shows weight levels at various ages.

Age Woman Man
	Under-weight (I)	Slight under-weight (II)	Normal weight (III)	Over-weight (IV)	Heavy over-weight (V)	Under-weight (I)	Slight under-weight (II)	Normal weight (III)	Over-weight (IV)	Heavy over-weight (V)
10~12	<9 9~17 17	~22 22~30	>30 <6	6~11 11~18	18~24 >24
13~18	<11 11~19	19~25 25	-33 >33 <6	6~11 11~18	18 18~24	>24

31~40	<18 18~26	26~31 31	-38 >38 <3	8~14 14~20	20 20~26	>26
Age Woman
	Under-weight (I)	Slight under-weight (II)	Normal weight (III)	Over-weight (IV)	Heavy over-weight (V)	Under-weight (I)	Slight under-weight (II)	Normal weight (III)	Over-weight (IV)	Heavy over-weight (V)
41~50	<20 20~28	28~33 33	-40 >40	9~16 16	22 22~28	>28
51~60	<21 21~30	30~35 35	-42 >42	11 11~19	9~24 24~30	>30
60+	<22 22~30	30~37 37~	47 >47	13 13~21	21~25 26~34	>34

NOTE! Depending on the build slightly higher or lower weights can also be acceptable.

The above table is to be understood as guidelines. If you want to have a more precise calculation of the body fat percentage, you should see a physician.

If the fat percentage is below or above the values of the table, you should either increase or decrease your weight. Please note that the fat percentage does not change as fast as the weight; on the contrary it remains the same for a long period of time. So do not expect important changes from one weighing to another.

If you practice some kind of exercise more often than usually, may-be you do not lose as much weight as you would like to, because muscles weigh more than fat. The relationship between fat and muscles changes slowly when exercising. It is very important to keep you body in a good shape throughout your life, as the muscle mass slowly changes to fat mass over the years, if you do not exercise your muscles.

Levels of body fluids in % intervals 20\~80%

Age	Woman	Man
	Normal	Normal
10~12	>60	>64
13~18	>58,5	>63,5
19~30	>56	>62,5
31~40	>53	>61
41~50	>52	>60
51~60	>51	>59
60+	>50	>58

For a person with a high fat percentage, the body fluid percentage will often be lower than the above values.

It should also be noted that a part of the muscles consists of fluids and this amount will be included both when estimating the muscle percentage and the fluid percentage.

Muscle mass (%) intervals: 0\~70%

Age	Woman Man
	Normal Normal
10~99 >$4 >40

Bone mass of the body (kg) intervals: 0\~10 kg

Bone mass 1,8 kg 2,2 kg 2,5 kg 2,5 kg 2,9 kg 3,2 kg

Activity levels

It is important to do some kind of physical activity. The present scale is designed in order to reflect the current activity level of an individual.

Activity level 1 (ALC1):

Very little activity. Sedentary activity (reading, studies, conversations etc.), max 2 hours standing or walking activity.

Activity level 2 (ALC2):

Low activity. Moderate standing or sitting activities.

Activity level 3 (ALC3):

Medium activity. Domestic work, lifting, mainly walking, but sometimes sitting.

This is the point to choose when you want to start training and/or going on a diet plan. After about 6-10 weeks you can proceed to the next level.

Activity level 4 (ALC4):

High activity. Intensive training with much mobility.

(20 min. of physical activity two to five times a week, such as e.g. jogging, cycling, tennis etc.). This level should be used, as soon as you note a general improvement of the user's well-being/fitness level.

After about 8-12 weeks of continuous training/diet you can change to the next level.

Activity level 5 (ALC5):

Intensive activity. Daily intensive training or physical work such as e.g. jogging, manual work etc.). At this level the user shall have a generally high level of mobility, staying power and strength and be able to sustain same for a long period of time.

Most people fit activity level 3. If you increase your effort by more exercise and a healthier life style you can, after a couple of months' effort, change to a higher level. Going from level 3 to level 4 should be possible after several months of persistent efforts and about 5 hours' intensive training a week.

Please note the following in connection with the settings:

• Be honest!
• Never skip a setting.
• Do not proceed to a higher level until the activity level has been on for at least a couple of months.
• The important thing is not the setting used, but to follow the same setting and see the development at that level.

Limitations

Note that the electronics of the scale are based on a series of complicated recordings and preset data representing the normal and the medium group of persons and thus makes the scale usable for the major part of the population- The scale can be used for normal weighing, but by calculation of the fat percentage, the exactitude of the result may vary for individual groups of persons and be misleading:

• Medicated persons
  • Highly overweight or underweight persons (anorexia)
• Persons over the age of 69 or under the age of 18.
• Pregnant women, since you cannot isolate the weight of the child. So, pregnant women can use the scale without any risk, since the bioelectrical impulse is absolutely harmless – even for the unborn child. However, the fat percentage will be absolutely misleading because of the weight of the child.
• If your legs swell or you have much water in your body, the result may be misleading. The same is the case if you are feverish or suffer from diabetes. Much hard skin on the feet could also cause misleading measurements.
• Professional sportsmen and bodybuilders having very big muscles could cause misleading results, as such persons do not represent the normal data of the composition of muscular structure, fluids and salt balance etc. They can, however, use the scale as a reference and consequently see the development of the fat percentage.

NOTE! Do not use the scale, if you have a cardiac pacemaker.

Worth knowing about weighing

Please note that all electronic equipment and consequently also electronic scales are sensitive and can be affected by e.g. temperature changes if the scale is moved. Misleading may occur if the scale is cold. The scale works best in room temperature. Consequently, it is very important to let the scale acclimatize for 24 hours before being used for the first time. Disturbance from other appliances such as mobile phones, transmitters and microwave ovens may influence the measuring. If the scale is moved, put on its end etc., it is important to let it adapt before use.

OBH Nordica's electronic scale has a tolerance level of about 1%, which means that it can register a given weight with an accuracy of ± 1% (e.g. if your weight is 70 kg, the weight will be shown from 69.3 to 70.7 kg). Furthermore, it should be noted that a scale having a 100 g interval, can "only" show the weight within an interval of 100 gr. This means that if your weight is 70.75 kg the weight will show either 70.7 or 70.8 kg (with a tolerance of ±1%).

If you want to know your weight with a 100% certitude (e.g. in relation to an illness) you should use a professional scale.

If you want to check the values over a long period, weighing should be done under the same conditions every day. We recommend that you weigh yourself in the morning, not sooner than 1/2 hours after getting up. If you have eaten, drunk, or exercised prior to weighing, this might cause a misleading result, as the amount of fluid in the body could also be decisive for the estimation of weight as well as of fat percentage.

IMPORTANT: The scale is not for professional use.

Changing of batteries

The scale takes 2 x CR2032 batteries. Insert the batteries in the battery compartment by removing the cover on the underside of the scale and insert the batteries. Make sure that the batteries are positioned correctly. Check that the batteries are positioned correctly, see fig. Remount the cover. When it is time to change the batteries, "Lo" will be displayed.

Setting of personal data (unity kg selected)

The scale can memorize 10 permanent users. The data of these 10 persons should be entered if you want to use the scale for estimation of fat, fluid, and muscle percentage. The data are memorized until they are amended manually.

1. The scale can be set at the following units: kg, st: lb or lb – and these can be changed by pressing the UNIT button on the underside of the scale until the scale displays the wanted unity.
2. Position the scale on an even, hard surface.
3. The display of the scale features 3 indicators: SET, an up and a down arrow. Press the indicators slightly with just one finger.
4. Start by pressing the SET button. You can now set the user number.
5. Choose the wanted user number by pressing the up or the down arrow. The user number will be flashing at the left side of the display. Confirm by "SET".
6. A male gender icon will be displayed. Change the gender to female if you want to by pressing either one of the arrows. Confirm by the SET button.
7. Enter the activity level depending on the actual physical state. Press the arrows to choose between: ALC1, ALC2, ALC3, ALC4 and ALC5. See more information about the various levels in the section "Activity levels". Confirm by pressing the SET button.
8. Cm and the figures "165" will be flashing in the display. Enter your height by means of the up and down arrows. Confirm by pressing the SET button.
9. Press the arrows to enter your age. Confirm by pressing the SET button.
10. Enter your target weight by means of the arrows. Confirm by pressing the SET button.
11. The scale is now ready for use.

All data are now programmed in the memory of the scale. If more users should be programmed, you just press "SET" and the scale will be ready for further programming. If no further users are to be programmed, the scale turns off automatically after a few seconds.

Please note that if the scale has not been activated for at least 20 seconds, it will turn off automatically.

Measuring (manual selection of user)

1. Position the scale on an even, hard surface.
2. Press the SET button and the latest user will be displayed. Press the up or the down arrow to choose your user number.
3. Wait until the scale displays 0.0.

4. Stand barefooted on the scale and be sure to position the sole of your feet on the steel circles and that there is no contact between your feet, legs and thighs. This is in order to avoid any misleading results.

5. Stand still and wait until the weight is displayed.

6. The measuring starts when a circulating "0" is displayed.
7. After weighing, the results will be displayed in two cycles:

W – The difference between the real weight and the target weight in kg (indicated by an arrow up/down).

fat – body fat in %. At the same time weight level I, II, III, IV or V is displayed (see "Weight levels of the scale").

TBW – fluid level in %

MUS – muscle mass in %

BONE – bone mass in %

BMR – energy consumption in kcal

kg – real weight in kg

1. Subsequently, the scale displays your programmed data, after which it turns off automatically.

Various weight levels of the scale

I = Underweight

II = Slight underweight

III = Normal weight

IV = Overweight

V = Heavy overweight

Measuring (automatic user identification)

Before you use this method, at least one measurement should have been made with manual selection of user; if not, this method will not work.

1. Stand barefooted on the scale and be sure to position the sole of your feet on the steel circles and that there is no contact between your feet, legs and thighs. This is in order to avoid any misleading result.
2. Stand still and wait until the display locks the weight.
3. The measuring starts when a circulating "0" is displayed.
4. The scale identifies the two latest users for which the latest weighing result deviates by +-2 kg from the actual weight. If there is only one user, skip this step (4).

If two users are found, the display shows "1:3", press any of the arrow buttons to choose the user. Next, press the up arrow "P1" and the down arrow to choose "P3".

If there are more than two users, they will be displayed alternately. E.g. in case of 4 users the display will alternately show: "1:3" and "4:8".

Press the up arrow for the left-side user and the down arrow for the right-side user. Having chosen the user the result will appear twice in cycles:

ΔW – The difference between real weight and the target weight in kg (shown by arrow up/down).

fat – body fat in %. At the same time weight level I, II, III, IV or V is displayed (see "Weight levels of the scale").

TBW – fluid level in %

MUS – muscle mass in %

BONE – bone mass in %

BMR – energy consumption in kcal

kg – real weight in kg

1. Next, the scale will display your programmed data and will subsequently be turned off automatically.

Note that the scale turns off automatically again if there is no activation within 20 seconds.

Study of the latest measurement (a user)

1. Make sure that the display is off.
2. Press the SET button to switch on the scale.

3. Choose the user by means of the up or the down arrow. Wait until "0:0" is displayed.

4. Press any of the arrows and the results will now appear in two cycles:

kg – real weight in kg

ΔW – The difference between the real weight and the target weight (shown by arrow up/down).

fat – body fat in %. At the same time weight level I, II, III, IV or V is displayed (see "Weight levels of the scale").

TBW –fluid level in %

MUS – muscle mass in %

BONE – bone mass in %

BMR – energy consumption in kcal

1. Next, the scale turns off automatically.

How to use the scale only for weight measuring

It is not necessary to enter all personal data if the scale is only to be used for weight measuring.

Position the scale on an even, hard surface. Stand barefooted on the scale and be sure to position the sole of your feet on the steel circles and that there is no contact between the feet, legs and thighs. This is in order to avoid any misleading result. The weight can be read after a few seconds. When you step down from the scale it turns off automatically.

For weighing, stand still on the scale, as even the slightest movement may cause a misleading result in relation to the real weight. During a day your weight could vary by some kilos depending on whether you are dressed and wear shoes, whether you have eaten etc. The important thing is the development of the weight over a period of e.g. 14 days or a month, and not tiny variations during one day or from one day to the next.

If you want to check your weight over a long period of time, we recommend that you weigh yourself at about the same time every day, preferably undressed and without moving the scale from one weighing to another.

Body fat measurement

If the scale registers an error during the weighing, "Err" will be displayed.

Possible causes Remedy

Max capacity of 150 kg exceeded the max weight. The scale must not be used over

The electric resistance between the electrodes Do a new weighing, but and the sole of the feet is too big barefooted.

(e.g. too much hard skin on the feet). Soften the sole of the feet a little.

Cleaning and maintenance
