Batteries are very dangerous if swallowed. Keep batteries and scale out of

reach of small children. If batteries are swallowed, seek medical help

immediately.

HOW DIAGNOSTIC SCALES WORK

This scale operates according to B.I.A (bioelectric impedance analysis). This enables
physical relationships to be measured within seconds by means of an undetectable,
completely harmless electric current. The body fat percentage and other physical
measurements of the body can be determined by measuring the electrical
resistance (impedance) and the inclusion of these in a calculation of constants and
individual parameters (age, height and gender).
Muscle tissue and water have good electrical conductivity, and therefore lower
resistance. Bones and fatty tissue, on the other hand, have low conductivity, as fat
cells are bone conduct hardly any current as a result of their very high resistance.
Please be aware that values obtained from the diagnostic scale represent only an
approximation of actual analytical medical data. Only a specialist physician can accu-
rately determine body fat, body waster muscle percentage and bone structure using
medical procedures. This scale should only be used for trend analysis.

HOW TO WEIGH YOURSELF CORRECTLY

If possible, always weigh yourself at the same time of day (ideally in the morning),
after going to the toilet, on an empty stomach and without clothes to achieve
comparable results. Wait approximately 15 minutes after getting up in the morning
to allow the water in the body to distribute.

GENERAL

For diagnostic measurement purposes, body fat can only be measured

when barefoot and with the soles of the feet slightly moist.

Completely dry soles can result in unsatisfactory measurements due to

inadequate conductivity.

Stand still during the measurement.

Wait a few hours after abnormal strenuous activity.

LIMITATIONS

When measuring body fat and other values, deviating and implausible

results may occur in:

•

children under approximately 10 years,

•

competitive athletes and body builders,

•

pregnant women,

•

persons with fever, undergoing dialysis treatment or with symptoms
of edema or osteoporosis,

•

persons taking cardiovascular medication,

•

persons taking vascular dilating or vascular constricting medication,

•

persons with considerable anatomic deviations of the legs in rela-
tion to total body size (length of the legs considerably shortened or
lengthened).

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

This scale has been designed to determine the weight of human beings.
The scale can measure up to 150kg. For weight measurement and bone mass
measurement, the results are shown in 100g increments. The measuring results of
the body fat, body water and muscle percentage are shown in 0.1% increments..

BATTERIES

If present, pull the battery insulating strip off the battery compartment

cover or remove the battery’s protective film and insert the batteries

according to the polarity. If the scale fails to operate, remove the batteries

completely and insert them correctly again.

Battery replacing indicator: When the batteries need replacing,

the “LO” message will appear on the display.

Please open the battery cover, remove the batteries carefully from the

battery compartment by drawing them sideways out from under the

contacts. DO NOT bend the contents back while you do this, or they may

break. Dispose of the old batteries in an environmentally friendly manner.

If you do not intend to use this scale for a long period of time, we

recommend removing the batteries before storing the scale.

MEASURING YOUR WEIGHT

Press quickly and forcefully with your foot on the platform of your scale or

press the button. (DO NOT stand on the scale). Wait for the display to

display “0,0” .The scale is now ready to measure your weight.

Wait while the scale computes your weight.

Your correct weight will then be displayed as follows:

Your scale rounds up or down to the nearest 100g. If you weigh yourself

twice and get two different readings, your weight is the average of the

two.

Only use the scale on a hard and

even surface. Weighing on a carpet

will affect the accuracy of the scale.

Stand squarely and gently on the scale distributing your weight evenly

between your feet.

DO NOT lean backwards and/or forwards.

NEVER step onto the outer edge of the scale as this could cause the scale to tip.

stainless steel electrodes.

IMPORTANT

: There may be no contact between feet, legs,

calves and thighs. If there is the measurement may not be

performed accurately.

INTERPRETING YOUR RESULTS

In order of appearance on screen after your weight is displayed:

Your weight is compared with the BMI (Body Mass Index). It is calculated

using the following formula: BMI = ( Weight in Kilograms / ( Height in

Meters x Height in Meters ) )

Note that with very muscular physiques (body builders), the BMI

interpretation will show overweight. The reason for this is that no account

is taken of well above average muscle mass in the BMI formula.

Muscle

A lower value is often found in athletes. Depending on the type of sports,

training intensity and physical constitution, values may result which are

below the recommended values stated. It should, however, be noted that

there could be a danger to health in the case of extremely low values.

Body water

The body water percentage is normally within the following ranges:

Body fat contains relatively little water. Therefore persons with a high body

fat percentage have body water percentages below the recommended

values. With endurance athletes, however, the recommended values could

be exceeded due to low fat percentages and high muscle percentage.

Body water measurement with this scale is not suitable for drawing

medical conclusions, for example concerning age related water retention.

If necessary ask your physician.

High body water percentage should be the aim.

Bone mass

Like the rest of our body, our bones are subject to natural development,

degeneration and the ageing process. Bone mass increases rapidly in

childhood and reaches its maximum between 30 and 40 years of age.

Bone mass reduces slightly with increasing age. You can reduce this

degeneration somewhat with healthy nutrition (particularly calcium and

vitamin D) and regular exercise. With appropriate muscle building, you can

also strengthen your bone structure.

Note that this scale will not show you the calcium content of your bones,

but will measure the weight of all bone constituents (organic substances,

inorganic substances and water).

ATTENTION

: Please do not confuse bone mass with bone

density. Bone density can be determined only by means of a

medical examination. It is therefore not possible to draw

conclusions concerning changes to the bones and bone

hardness (e.g. osteoporosis) using this scale.

Little influence can be exerted on bone mass, but it will vary

slightly within the influencing factors (weight, height, age,

gender).

Results in relation to time

Note that it is only the long-term trend which counts. Short period

fluctuations in weight over a few days are mostly the result of a loss of

fluid.

The interpretation of the results will depend on changes in your overall

weight and body fat, body water and muscle percentages, as well as on

the period during which these changes take place. Rapid changes within

days must be distinguished from medium term changes (over weeks)

and long term changes (months). A basic rule is that short term changes in

weight almost exclusively represent changes in water content, whereas

medium and long term changes may also involve the fat and muscle

percentages.

•

If your weight reduces over the short term, but your body fat
percentage increases or remains the same, you have merely lost water
– e.g. after a training session, sauna session or a diet restricted only to
rapid weight loss.

•

If your weight increases over the short term, but your body fat
percentage falls or stays the same, then you could have built up
valuable muscle mass.

•

If your weight and body fat percentage fall simultaneously then your
diet is working – you are losing fat mass. Ideally you should support
your diet with physical activity. By these means, you can increase your
muscle percentage over the medium term.

AUTOMATIC SWITCH OFF

When you step off the scale, it will automatically switch off.

(If no weighing takes place while the zero is being displayed, the scale

switches off automatically after approximately 10 seconds).

OVERLOAD INDICATOR

When the scale is overloaded (weight exceeds 150kg), this

error message will appear on the screen.

INCORRECT MEASUREMENT

If the scale detects an error during measurement, this is indicated with

Possible cause of error

Remedy

The scale was not activated before you stood

on it. If you stand on the scale before “0.0”

appears on the display, the scale will not

function properly.

Activate the scale correctly and repeat the

measurement.

The maximum capacity of 150kg was

exceeded

Weigh only the maximum permissible

weight.

The electrical resistance between the

electrodes and the soles of the feet is too

high (e.g. in the case of thick calluses).

Repeat the measurement barefoot.

If necessary, moisten the soles of your feet

slightly. If necessary, remove the calluses

form the soles of your feet.

You are standing unsteadily on the scale.

Keep still while standing on the scale.

The fat percentage is outside the measurable

range (less than 5% or greater than 50%)

Repeat the measurement barefoot or, if

necessary, moisten the soles of your feet

slightly.

Be careful not to use the scale with wet feet.

The water percentage is outside the

measurable range (less than 36% or greater

than 70%)

Repeat the measurement barefoot or, if

necessary, moisten the soles of your feet

slightly.

Be careful not to use the scale with wet feet.

The muscle and bone percentages are

outside the measurable range (age and

gender related)

Repeat the measurement barefoot or, if

necessary, moisten the soles of your feet

slightly.

Be careful not to use the scale with wet feet.

Never immerse the scale in water or

rinse it under running water.

CARE

DO NOT store the scale in an upright position when not in use

– this will drain the batteries.

Treat your scale with care – it is a precision instrument. DO NOT drop it or

jump on it.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Your new body fate scale allows you to measure weight, body fat percentage, water
percentage, muscle percentage and bone weight simultaneously and easily, simply
by stepping on the scale.
