– Step on the scale barefoot, stay still during the
weight measurement and wait till the weight indica-
tions appear.
– Keep standing on the scale. After calculation the fol-
lowing data will be shown on the display (3): water,
fat, muscle, bone percentage and recommended
level of daily calorie intake (pic. 1). Calculation re-
sults will be shown on the display twice and then the
unit will be switched off automatically.
Notes:
–
It is NECESSARY to enter personal data into the
unit memory before measuring fat, water percent-
age, etc.
–
If during the data saving no actions are taken, the
scale will be switched off automatically in 15 sec-
onds.
– 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. Maximal
capacity of the scale - 180 kg.
–
Symbol «Err» may also indicate absence of contact
between the feet and the platform (1). Step on the
scale BAREFOOT.
–
Symbol «Err2» shows that an error occurred during
calculation. Step off the scale and repeat weighing.
–
Symbol «FATL» indicates that fat percentage in the
body is less than 5%, symbol «FATH» indicates that
fat percentage exceeds 50%.
Change of fat percentage in a human body during
the day
The indications of fat percentage in a human body are
affected by such factors as lifestyle, physical load,
health condition, and also water percentage in the
body.
You should take into account the following factors:
Normal percentage of water in the body is 45-60% for women and 50-65% for men.

– the fat percentage indications may be less if mea-
sured after taking a bath or a shower,
– the fat percentage indications may be higher if mea-
sured after having meal or drinking,
– percentage of liquid in a human body may decrease
and thus change the fat percentage indications dur-
ing and after illness and after physical exercises.
Water percentage in a human body
Water percentage in a human body is the percentage of
liquid in the human body to total weight. Water has pri-
mary importance for human tissues and organs, since
50-65% of our body consist of water. With this scale you
can control the percentage of water in your body and
correct this important characteristic.
What is muscle bulk?
Muscle bulk value shows the weight of locomotive
system muscles, plain muscles (heart and digestive
system) and water in these muscles.
Control of muscle bulk is especially important for people
with excessive weight. Weight loss may lead to decrease
of fat tissues, but only if you gain muscle bulk at the
same time.
What is bone mass?
Bone tissues are the base of human skeleton; they are
solid and resistant to external actions, protecting the in-
ternal organs, and together with muscle tissue providing
human ability to move.
Bone mass measurement is based on calculating the
minerals mass in a human body (calcium or other mat-
ters). The research showed that development of muscle
tissues makes skeleton stronger. This fact should be
taken into account when making up diet and calculating
physical activity for strong and healthy bones.
