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 (tap the standing surface). Wait until the display shows "0.0".
– Press the "USER" button and select the memory space where you would like to save your basic personal data by
pressing the "up" or "down" button the appropriate number of times to select the memory space in which your
basic personal data is saved and confirm by pressing "USER". Your saved settings will be displayed in sequence
until "0.0" and the selected gender appear.
– Step onto the scale with bare feet and make sure that you are standing still with equal weight distribution. Stand
on the stainless steel electrodes with both feet.
– Remain on the scale and avoid moving; it is now performing your body fat and body water analysis. This may
take a few seconds.
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
– Muscle percentage
– BMI
– Bonemass in kg
– Active metabolic rate AMR, in kcal
– Basal metabolic rate BMR, in kcal
The scale switches itself off automati-
cally after approx. 15 seconds.

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.
