INSTRUCTION MANUAL
ELECTRONIC PERSONAL SCALE
This appliance will help you turn to healthy life-
style. Read these instructions carefully and save
them for future reference. The "BIA" technique
(bioelectric body impedance analysis) im-
plemented by the appliance allows to cal-
culate fat, water and muscle mass percent-
age with high accuracy taking into account
memorized personal data (height, age, gen-
der).
WHAT IS EXCESS WIGHT?
It is well known that excess weight may affect the
health adversely.
Excess weight may cause fatness, heart prob-
lems, progress of atherosclerosis, osteoporo-
sis, although the lack of weight may lead to
osteoporosis too (osteoporosis is the systemic
skeleton disease. Its features are: bone mass
per volume decreases, bone tissue micro archi-
tectonics impairment. It issues in bones fragility,
the risk of fractures because of minimal trauma
or even without one.)
The physical exercises and moderate diet help to
get rid of excess weight. Excess weight analyzer
is the ideal tool to control excess weight.
It is well known, that in case of small weight mus-
cles and tissues contain more water than fat. It is
also common that water conducts electric cur-
rent better than fat does.
You can measure your body fat percentage in
muscles by conducting weak electric current
through the body. This helps you control your
forms.
Recommendations
• Weigh yourself at the same time every day.
• Percentage of water should be weighed in the
evening before supper.
• 2-3 hours should pass after the last eating.
• 10-12 hours should pass after the intensive
physical exercises.
Attention!
- The information about percentage of fat,
water and muscles could be obtained only
if you stand on the scales barefoot.
- Percentage of fat depends on different factors
and can vary during a day.
Precautions
• The use of excess weight analyzer is

ABSOLUTELY prohibited for pregnant women.
• The use of excess weight analyzer is
ABSOLUTELY prohibited for persons having
pacemakers and other medical equipment
with accumulators built-in.

FUNCTION BUTTONS

1. - decrease the number displayed.
2. ENTER – enter and confirm the data.
3. - increase the number displayed.
USAGE
- Open the cover of the batteries compartment
and make sure that 2 lithium CR2032 batteries
are installed properly.
- Remove isolating gap to connect the batter-
ies.
Selecting units
To select units use the KG/LB button situated in
the battery compartment.
"kg" - weight will be indicated in kilograms and
the height in centimeters.;
"lb" - weight will be indicated in pounds and the
height in feet and inches;
SWITCH ON
- Place the scale on the firm stable surface,
if the floor is uneven or covered with carpet,
precision will decrease.
- Switch on the unit by slight knock at the case.
Attention!
- If "oL" appears on the display, the scale is
overloaded (the weight is more than 180 kg.).
Immediately get off the scale to prevent dam-
aging of the unit.
- When the "0000" symbols are displayed
begin to disappear gradually, the percentage
of fat water, muscle mass and bone mass is
being measured.
- In case of misuse of the appliance the "Err2"
(measurements cannot be made, you are not
barefoot) will be displayed.
- "Err %" – means an error in determination of
fat percentage in the muscles.
- "ErrL" - percentage of fat in the muscles is
so small that measurements cannot be per-
formed.
- "ErrH" - percentage of fat in the muscles is
so great that measurements cannot be per-
formed.
