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".
– First press the SET button, then the user memory flashes.
– Press "SET".
– 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.
– Press "SET". All values will then be shown in turn until "0.0" is shown on the display. Weighing can now be
started again.
– The scale begins to take measurements straight away. First, the weight is displayed.
Whilst the other parameters are being measured, "_ _ _ _" appears.
The measurement is displayed shortly afterwards.
If a user has been assigned, the BMI, body fat, water, muscle, bone, AMR are shown. This is the
case if the initials are shown.
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 BW in %
– Muscle percentage MM in %
– Bone mass BM, in kg
– Active metabolic rate in kcal (AMR)
– BMI
– Now all measured values are displayed consecutively and the scale switches off.
Note: When taking a body fat measurement, the most recently selected user will always appear in the dis-
play.
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.
– Stand still during the measurement.
– Wait several hours after unusually strenuous activity.
– Wait approx. 15 minutes after getting out of bed so that the water in your body can be distributed.
– 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.
