Wall mounting
The wall mount can be attached to the wall with the double-sided adhesive
strip. The surface of the wall must be clean, dry, plane and grease-free.
• Remove the foil from the adhesive strip on the back of the wall mount
• Press the wall mount firmly against the wall.
• Make sure that the wall mount is straight.
• Note that the control panel and the scale must also be aligned to each other.

7. Information

the measuring principle
This scale operates according to the B.I.A. principle (bioelectric impedance analysis). This enables the
measurement of physical relationships within seconds by means of an undetectable, completely harmless
electric current. The body fat percentage and other physical relationships in the body can be determined
by measuring the electrical resistance (impedance) and calculating constants and individual parameters
such as age, height, gender and degree of activity.
Muscle tissue and water have good electrical conductivity, and therefore lower resistance. Bones and fat-
ty tissue, on the other hand, have low conductivity as fat cells and bones 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 accurately determine body fat, body water, muscle
percentage and bone structure using medical procedures (e.g. computed tomography).
General tips
• If possible, always weigh yourself at the same time of day (preferably in the morning), after using the toi-
let, on an empty stomach and unclothed, in order to achieve comparable results.
• Important for the measurement: only measure body fat 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 and upright during the measurement.
• Wait a few hours after unaccustomed physical activity.
• Wait approx. 15 minutes after getting up in the morning to allow the water in the body to distribute.
• 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.
Limitations
When measuring body fat and other values, deviating and implausible results may occur in:
• children under approx. 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 (affecting the heart and vascular system),
• persons taking vascular dilating or vascular constricting medication,
• persons with considerable anatomic deviations of the legs in relation to total body size (length of the legs
considerably shortened or lengthened).

8. Settings

Enter your personal information before using the scale.
On delivery, the scale is set to „cm" and „kg". At the back of the scales is a switch to change to „pounds".
Setting user data
You must enter personal user parameters in order to measure your body fat percentage and other physi-
cal data.
The scale has 10 user memory locations which allows, for example, you and your family members to save
personal settings and retrieve them later.
