WHAT IS EXCESS WEIGHT?
It is generally known that excessive body weight can
negatively affect the health. Excess weight can cause
obesity, heart problems, atherosclerosis, and osteopo-
rosis; short weight may also lead to osteoporosis. (Os-
teoporosis is a systemic skeleton disease characterized
by reduction of bone mass per unit volume and impair-
ment of bone tissue micro-architectonics and leading to
increased bone fragility 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 helps to control your
weight.
It is known that in case of low weight muscles and body
tissues contain more water than fat, and that 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
basing on the results of fat and water percentage cal-
culation.
RECOMMENDATIONS
– Weigh yourself at one and the same time of the day.
– We recommend to measure the percentage of fat
and water in the evening before evening meal.
– 2-3 hours should pass after last meal.
– 10-12 hours should pass after intensive physical
exercises.
– Percentage of fat in the body depends on different
factors and can change during the day.
– When calculating percentage of fat and water of
children younger than 10 years the results may be
inaccurate.
– Professional sportsmen, people inclined to edemas
and people with nonstandard body proportions can
show inaccurate results of calculation.
Note: Percentage of fat, bone, muscles, and water 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 weigh-
ing accuracy decreases.
– Switch the scale on by slightly touching the body.
MEASUREMENT UNITS SELECTION
– To select weight measurement units press the
«UNIT» button (4) consequently.
– Measurement units are shown on the display (3):
«kg» - weight is measured in kilograms, height is
measured in centimeters;
«lb» - weight in pounds, height in feet and inches;
