After all parameters have been entered, you can now measure your weight, body fat and the other data.

2.4 Taking measurements

Switch on the scale (briefly step on the standing surface or press “SET”). Wait until “

0.0

” appears in the display.

– Press the SET button; the last selected user memory then flashes.

– All user values will then be shown in turn until “

0.0

” is shown on the display.

– Step onto the scale with bare feet and ensure that you are standing still with equal weight distribution and with 

both legs on the stainless steel electrodes.

 – The measurements are displayed shortly afterwards.

   Note: 

Your feet, legs, calves and thighs must not touch each other. Otherwise the measurement cannot be 

performed correctly.The scale immediately begins to measure your weight.

The following data are displayed:

–  Body weight in kg

–  Body fat percentage 

BF,

 in %

–  Water percentage 

,

 in %

–  Muscle percentage 

,

 in %

–  Bone mass 

, in kg

– Body mass index 

BMI

–  Basal metabolic rate 

kcal

, in kcal (

BMR

)

–  Now all measured values are displayed consecutively and the scale switches off.

2.5 Tips for using the scale
Important when measuring body fat/body water/muscle percentage/bone content:

–  If possible, always weigh yourself at the same time of day (preferably in the morning), after using the toilet, on an 

empty stomach and unclothed, in order to achieve comparable results.

–  The measurement may only be carried out while barefoot and it is helpful if the soles of your feet are slightly 

damp. Completely dry soles can result in unsatisfactory results, as they have insufficient conductivity.

–  Stand still during the measurement.

–  Wait several hours after unusually strenuous activity.

–  Wait approx. 15 minutes after getting out of bed so that the water in your body can be distributed.

–  Remember that only long-term trends are important. Short-term changes in weight within a few days are usually 

caused by a loss of fluid. Body water plays an important role towards our general wellbeing.

The measurement is not reliable for:

– Children under 10 years old

–  Competitive athletes, Bodybuilders

–  Pregnant women

–  Persons with fever, undergoing dialysis, with symptoms of edema or osteoporosis

–  Persons taking cardiovascular medication

–  Persons taking vascodialating or vascoconstricting medications

–  Persons with substantial anatomical deviations in the legs relative to their total height (leg length considerably 

shorter or longer than usual)
