INSTRUCTION MANUAL

ELECTRONIC PERSONAL SCALE

This appliance will help you turn to healthy life-
style. Read these instructions carefully and save 
them for future reference.

The “BIA” technique 

(bioelectric body impedance analysis) im-
plemented by the appliance allows to cal-
culate fat, water and muscle mass percent-
age with high accuracy taking into account 
memorized personal data (height, age, gen-
der).

WHAT IS EXCESS WIGHT?

It is well known that excess weight may affect the 
health adversely. 
Excess weight may cause fatness, heart prob-
lems, progress of atherosclerosis, osteoporo-
sis, although the lack of weight may lead to 
osteoporosis too (osteoporosis is the systemic 
skeleton disease. Its features are: bone mass 
per volume decreases, bone tissue micro archi-
tectonics impairment. It issues in bones fragility, 
the risk of fractures because of minimal trauma 
or even without one.)
The physical exercises and moderate diet help to 
get rid of excess weight. Excess weight analyzer 
is the ideal tool to control excess weight.
It is well known, that in case of small weight mus-
cles and tissues contain more water than fat. It is 
also common that water conducts electric cur-
rent better than fat does.
You can measure your body fat percentage in 
muscles by conducting weak electric current 
through the body. This helps you control your 
forms.

Recommendations

•  

Weigh yourself at the same time every day.

•  Percentage of water should be weighed in the 

evening before supper.

•  2-3 hours should pass after the last eating.
•  10-12 hours should pass after the intensive 

physical exercises.

 Attention! 
-  

The information about percentage of fat, 
water and muscles could be obtained only 
if you stand on the scales barefoot.

-   Percentage of fat depends on different factors 

and can vary during a day.

 Precautions

• 

The use of excess weight analyzer is 

ABSOLUTELY prohibited for pregnant women.

• 

The use of excess weight analyzer is 
ABSOLUTELY prohibited for persons having 
pacemakers and other medical equipment 
with accumulators built-in.

FUNCTION BUT TONS 

1. 

 - decrease the number displayed.

2. 

ENTER 

– enter and confirm the data.

3. 

 - increase the number displayed.

USAGE

-  Open the cover of the batteries compartment 

and make sure that 2 lithium CR2032 batteries 
are installed properly.

-  Remove isolating gap to connect the batter-

ies.

Selecting units

To select units use the 

KG/LB 

button situated in 

the battery compartment.
“

kg

” - 

weight will be indicated in kilograms and 

the height in centimeters.

;

“

lb

” - 

weight will be  indicated in pounds and the 

height in feet and inches

; 

SWITCH ON

-  Place the scale on the firm stable surface, 

if the floor is uneven or covered with carpet, 
precision will decrease.

 -  Switch on the unit by slight knock at the case.

Attention!

-   If  “

oL

” appears on the display, the scale is 

overloaded (the weight is more than 180 kg.). 
Immediately get off the scale to prevent dam-
aging of the unit.

 -  When  the  “

0000

” symbols are displayed 

and 

begin to disappear gradually, the percentage 
of fat water, muscle mass and bone mass is 
being measured.

-   In case of misuse of the appliance the “

Err2” 

(measurements cannot be made, you are not 
barefoot) will be displayed.

-   “

Err %

” – means an error in determination of 

fat percentage in the muscles.

-   “

ErrL

” - percentage of fat in the muscles is 

so small that measurements cannot be per-
formed.

-   “

ErrH

”

- percentage of fat in the muscles is 

so great that measurements cannot be per-
formed.
