2-4. ABOUT MUSCLE MASS

The muscles play an important role because they act like the engine of your body by consuming
energy (calories). The muscle mass is calculated from the weight of the muscles of your body
(skeletal muscle, smooth muscle and water contained in the muscles).

2-5. ABOUT BONE MASS

The bone mass represents the part of the body weight made up by the bones of the skeleton. It
represents approximately 15% of the total weight. This percentage decreases progressively from
50 years of age. In case of accelerated bone loss, we advise you to consult your doctor.

2-7. ABOUT DAILY CALORIE NEEDS

TAll food provides calories and all calories provide energy. The human body uses this energy
to live, breathe and perform all daily activities. A man consumes more energy than a woman.
Usually, his energy needs are from 5 to 10% higher than those of a woman - with the excep-
tion of a pregnant or lactating woman, whose daily calorie needs ensure the good health of the
mother and the baby. Depending on your age, size and type, the BewellConnect® scales tell you
the number of calories to absorb each day to reach a standard weight.

3-1. PRECAUTIONS BEFORE USE

- This device is not suitable for children under 10 years for the calculation of body fat, water mass
and bone mass. Do not leave children unsupervised when using the appliance.
- This device is not suitable for persons over 100 years for the calculation of body fat, water mass
and bone mass.
- This device is not suitable for professional athletes or bodybuilders. The displayed results might
be inaccurate, due to variations of physiological muscle density and level of hydration of ath-
letes. If in doubt, consult your doctor.
- Place the scales on a sturdy, level and non-slip surface (avoid installing them on a rug, for
example).

false.
- The weight and fat mass vary during the day. We advise you to weigh yourself before meals to
obtain comparable results. It is recommended that you should measure your weight and body
fat mass at the same time each day, preferably on an empty stomach.
