9. Evaluation of results

Body mass index (BMI)

The body mass index (BMI) is a number that is often called upon to evaluate body weight. The

number is calculated from body weight and height, the formula is – body mass index = body

weight : height². The measurement unit for BMI is [kg/m²]. According to the BMI, weight is 

classified for adults (20 years and over) using the following values (source: WHO):

Results in relation to time

 Remember that only long-term trends are important. Short-term fluctuations in 

weight over a few days are usually the result of a loss of fluid.

10. Replacing batteries

The batteries in the scale must be replaced if the message “Lo” appears in the display. If the

batteries are too flat, then the scale will switch off automatically.

Note:

• When changing batteries, always use batteries of the same type, brand and capacity.

  Always replace all batteries simultaneously.

• Do not use rechargeable batteries.

• Use batteries that are free of heavy metals.

11. Storage and maintenance

The precision of the measurements and service life of the device depends on its careful handling:

 Important:

• The unit should be cleaned occasionally. Use a slightly damp cloth to clean the device. You 

  may also use a small quantity of cleaning agent if desired. Do not use abrasive detergents 

  and never immerse the unit in water.
