remove it.
Clean the scale with a soft, slightly damp cloth
–
and then wipe it dry.
BATTERY INSTALLATION AND REPLACEMENT
Remove the battery compartment lid (7) and
–
insert 2 «AAA» batteries (supplied with the unit),
strictly following the polarity.
Place the battery compartment lid (7) back to
–
its place.
Note: If there is an isolation insert in the battery
compartment, remove the battery compartment lid
(7), remove the isolation insert and install the lid
back to its place.
Battery replacement
When the battery is low, the symbol «Lo» will
–
appear on the display (3).
Open the battery compartment lid (7), replace the

the batteries from the battery compartment.
WHAT IS EXCESS WEIGHT?
It is generally known that excessive body weight can
negatively affect health. Excess weight can cause
obesity, heart problems, facilitate atherosclerosis
and osteoporosis; but deficient body weight may
also lead to osteoporosis. (Osteoporosis is a sys-
temic skeleton disease characterized by reduced
bone density and impairment of bone tissue micro-
architectonics and leading to increased bone fra-
gility and risk of fracture by minimal trauma or even
without it).
Physical exercises and a moderate diet help to lose
excess weight and this scale will help to control your
weight.
It is known that in case of low weight muscles and
body tissues contain more water than fat. Electric
current passes through water better than through
fat. Sending weak current through the body, the
scale quickly and easily calculates the percentage of
fat and water in a human body. You can control your
weight relying on the results of the calculation.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Weigh yourself at the same time of the day.
–
It is recommended to measure fat and water per-
–
centage in the evening before supper.
At least 2-3 hours should pass after the meal.
–
At least 10-12 hours should pass after intensive
–
physical exercises.
VT-1984.indd 4
Percentage of fat in the body depends on differ-
–
ent factors and can change during the day.
When calculating fat and water percentage of
–
children under 10 years of age, the results may
be inaccurate.
Professional sportsmen, people inclined to ede-
–
mas and people with nonstandard body propor-
tions can show inaccurate results of calculation.
Note: Fat, bone and muscle tissue and water
percentage can be calculated only if personal
data (sex, age, height) are entered correctly and
if you step on the scale barefoot.
SWITCHING ON
Place the scale on a flat solid surface; if the floor
–
is uneven or covered with a carpet or rug, the
weighing accuracy decreases.
The scale is switched on when a weight over 5 kg
–
is placed on the platform or by touching the «SET»
button (5).
MEASUREMENT UNITS SELECTION
Switch the scale on using one of the options
–
described above.
To select weight measurement units, press the
–
«UNIT» button (6) repeatedly.
Measurement units are shown on the display (3):
–
«kg» – weight is measured in kilograms;
«lb» – weight is measured in pounds;
«st:lb» – weight is measured in stones and
pounds.
WEIGHT MEASUREMENT
Step on the scale to switch it on.
–
Keep your feet parallel to each other and distrib-
–
ute your weight evenly.
Stay still while weighing. During weight measure-
–
ment the weight values will be flashing on the dis-
play (3), and after measurement they will glow
constantly.
Attention!
If a symbol «Err» appears on the display (3), it
–
means that the scale is overloaded. Step off
the scale immediately to avoid its damage.
The scale will be switched off automatically in
–
about 10 seconds after weight measurement.
ENTERING PERSONAL DATA (pic. 1)
Touch the «SET» button (5), one of the user num-
–
bers «P-01», «P-02».., «P-12» will be flashing on
the display.
