Batteries; Operation; Weight Measurement; Setting User Data - Beurer BF 185 Gebrauchsanweisung

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: body fat can only be measured 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 during the measurement.
• Wait a few hours after unaccustomed strenuous activity.
• Wait approx. 15 minutes after getting up in the morning to allow the water in the body to distribute.
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,
• 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).

4. Batteries

If provided, pull out the battery insulating strip at the battery compartment or remove the protective film
from the battery and insert the battery with the correct polarity. If the scale fails to operate, remove the
battery completely and reinsert it.
Your scale is provided with a "Change battery" indicator. If the scale is operating with a battery which is
too weak, "Lo" appears on the display and the scale will switch off automatically. In this case, the battery
must be exchanged (4 x1.5 V, AAA).

5. Operation

5.1 Weight measurement

Step onto the scale. Stand still with your weight distributed equally on both feet. The scale begins to take
measurements straight away. After flashing twice, the weight is established.
If you step off the weighing area, the scale switches off after a few seconds.

5.2 Setting user data

To measure your body fat percentage and other physical data, you must enter your personal user parameters.
The scale has 10 memory positions in which you and other members of your family can save and recall
personal settings.
Switch on the scale by briefly stepping on the platform. Wait until the display shows "0.0".
