• The scale should be cleaned occasionally with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive detergents and never

immerse the scale in water.

• Protect the scale against hard knocks, moisture, dust, chemicals, major temperature fluctuations and

heat sources which are too close (stove, heating radiators).

• Repairs may only be carried out by Beurer customer service or authorized dealers. Before submitting

any complaint, first check the batteries and replace them if necessary.

3. Information on the diagnostic scale

The measuring principle of the diagnostic scale

This scale operates according to the B.I.A. principle (bioelectric impedance analysis). This enables physi-

cal relationships to be measured within seconds by means of an undetectable, completely harmless

electric current. The body fat percentage and other physical relationships in the body can be determined

by measuring the electrical resistance (impedance), and the inclusion in a calculation of constants and in-

dividual parameters (age, height, gender, degree of activity).

Muscle tissue and water have good electrical conductivity, and therefore lower resistance.

Bones and fatty tissue, on the other hand, have low conductivity, as fat cells and bones conduct hardly

any current as a result of their very high resistance.

Please be aware that values obtained from the diagnostic scale represent only an approximation of actual

analytical medical data. Only a specialist physician can accurately determine body fat, body water, muscle

percentage and bone structure using medical procedures (e.g. computed tomography).

General tips

– If possible, always weigh yourself at the same time of day (preferably in the morning), after using the toi-

let, on an empty stomach and unclothed, in order to achieve comparable results.

– Important for the measurement: body fat can only be measured when barefoot and with the soles of the

feet slightly moist. Completely dry soles can result in unsatisfactory measurements due to inadequate

conductivity.

– Stand still during the measurement.

– Wait a few hours after unaccustomed strenuous activity.

– Wait approx. 15 minutes after getting up in the morning to allow the water in the body to distribute.

Limitations

When measuring body fat and other values, deviating and implausible results may occur in:

– children under approx. 10 years,

– competitive athletes and body builders,

– pregnant women,

– persons with fever, undergoing dialysis treatment or with symptoms of edema or osteoporosis,

– persons taking cardiovascular medication,

– persons taking vascular dilating or vascular constricting medication,

– persons with considerable anatomic deviations of the legs in relation to total body size (length of the legs

considerably shortened or lengthened).

4. Batteries

If provided, pull out the battery insulating strip at the battery compartment or remove the protective film

from the battery and insert the battery with the correct polarity. If the scale fails to operate, remove the

battery completely and reinsert it.

Your scale is provided with a “Change battery” indicator. If the scale is operating with a battery which is

too weak, “Lo” appears on the display and the scale will switch off automatically. In this case, the battery

must be exchanged (2x1,5V AAA battery).

5. Operation

5.1 Weight measurement

Step onto the scale. Stand still with your weight distributed equally on both feet. The scale begins to take

measurements straight away. If the display appears continuously, the measurement has finished.

If you step off the weighing area, the scale switches off after a few seconds.
