Troubleshooting Guide; Technical Specification - Salter MAXVIEW ANALYSER Bedienungsanleitung

My friend has a Body Fat Analyser made by another manufacturer.
When I used it I found that I got a different body fat reading. Why is this?
Different Body Fat Analysers take measurements around different parts of the body and
use different mathematic algorithms to calculate the percentage of body fat.
The best advice is to not make comparisons from one device to another, but to use the
same device each time to monitor any change.
How do I interpret my body fat and water percentage readings?
Please refer to the Body Fat and Water tables included with the product. They will guide
you as to whether your body fat and water reading falls into a healthy category
(relative to your age and sex).
What should I do if my body fat reading is very 'high?
A sensible diet, fluid intake and exercise program can reduce your body fat percentage.
Professional medical guidance should always be sought before embarking on such
a program.
Why are the body fat percentage ranges for men and women so different?
Women naturally carry a higher percentage of fat than men, because the make-up of the
body is different being geared towards pregnancy, breastfeeding etc.
What should I do if my water percentage reading is 'low'?
Ensure that you are regularly taking sufficient water and work towards moving your fat
percentage into the healthy range.
Why should I avoid using the Body Analyser Scale whilst pregnant?
During pregnancy a woman's body composition changes considerably in order to
support the developing child. Under these circumstances, body fat percentage readings
could be inaccurate and misleading. Pregnant women should therefore only use the
weight function.
ADVICE FOR uSE AND CARE
• Always weigh yourself on the same scale placed on the same floor surface.
Do not compare weight readings from one scale to another as some differences will
exist due to manufacturing tolerances.
• Placing your scale on a hard, even floor will ensure the greatest accuracy and
consistency.
• It is recommended that you measure at the same time of the day, preferably early
evening before a meal for the most consistent results.
• Your scale rounds up or down to the nearest increment.
If you weigh yourself twice and get two different readings, your weight lies between
the two.
• Clean your scale with a damp cloth. Do not use chemical cleaning agents.
• Do not allow your scale to become saturated with water as this can damage the
electronics.
• Treat your scale with care - it is a precision instrument. Do not drop it or jump on it.

TROuBLESHOOTING GuIDE

• You must have bare feet when using body fat and total body water measurements.
• The condition of your skin on the bottom of your feet can affect the reading. To get
the most accurate and consistent reading, wipe your feet with a damp cloth,
leaving them slightly moist before stepping on the scale.
