•

  The scale's maximum capacity is 180 kg (396 lb/28 st). The results for weight and bone mass are 

displayed in 100 g increments (0.2 lb).

•

  Measurements of body fat, body water and muscle content are displayed in increments of 0.1%.

•

  Calorie requirement is indicated in increments of 1 kcal.

•

  When supplied to the customer, the scale is set to weigh and measure in “kg” and “cm”.  

You can change the unit settings during initial use of the app.

•

  Place the scale on an even, hard surface; a hard surface is crucial for achieving accurate 

measurements.

•

  Repairs may only be carried out by Beurer Customer Services or authorised retailers.  

Before submitting a complaint, please check the batteries first and replace them if necessary.

Storage and maintenance

The accuracy of the measurements and service life of the device depend on its careful handling:

  IMPORTaNT

•

  Do not place any objects on the scale when not in use.

•

  Protect the device from knocks, damp, dust, chemicals, marked temperature fluctuations and 

nearby sources of heat (ovens, heaters).

•

  Do not press the buttons violently or with pointed objects.

•

  Do not expose the scale to high temperatures or strong electromagnetic fields.

4. Information

The measurement principle

This scale works on the principle of B.I.A. (bioelectrical impedance analysis). This involves the calculation 

of body content in a matter seconds, using a current that cannot be felt, is completely harmless and does 

not pose any risk. 

When this measurement of the electrical resistance (impedance) is considered alongside constants 

and/or individual values (age, height, gender, activity level), the body fat percentage and other variables in 

the body can be calculated. Muscle tissue and water conduct electricity well and therefore have a lower 

resistance. In contrast, bones and fat tissue have low conductivity as the fat cells and bones are barely 

able to conduct the current due to very high levels of resistance.
Please note that the values calculated by the diagnostic bathroom scale only represent an approxima-

tion of the actual medical analytical values for the body. Only a specialist doctor can precisely establish 

the body fat, body water, muscle percentage and bone structure using medical methods (e.g. computer 

tomography).

General tips

•

  As far as possible, weigh yourself at the same time everyday (ideally in the morning), after having been 

to the toilet, on an empty stomach and without clothing, in order to obtain results which can be com-

pared.

•

  Important point regarding the measurement: the calculation of body fat may only be made when bare-

foot; the soles of the feet may be lightly dampened where appropriate. 

•

  There must be no skin contact between your feet, legs, calves or thighs. Otherwise, the measurement 

cannot be taken correctly.

•

  Stand up straight and still during measurement.

•

  Wait a few hours after any physical exertion to which your body is unaccustomed.

•

  Wait approx. 15 minutes after getting up so that the water stored in your body can disperse.

•

  Remember that only the long-term trend is important. Short-term changes in weight within a few 

days are normally caused by loss of fluids; however, body water plays an important role in terms of 

well-being.

•

 The total of all analytical values comes to more than 100% because body water must not be added; 

body water is already included in the other analytical values (e.g. body fat, muscle percentage).
