Setting up the scale

Set up the scale on a level and solid surface. A solid surface is a prerequisite for a correct measurement.

5. Information

The measuring principle

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

measurement of physical relationships 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 calculating constants and individual parameters

such as age, height, gender and 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: only measure body fat 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 and upright during the measurement.

• Wait a few hours after unaccustomed physical activity.

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

• Remember that only long-term trends are important. Short-term changes in weight within a few days are

usually caused by a loss of fluid. Body water plays an important role towards our general wellbeing.

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 (affecting the heart and vascular system),

• 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).

6. Settings

Enter your personal information before using the scale.

On delivery, the scale is set to „cm“ and „kg“. On the rear of the scale is a switch that you can use to

change to ‘pounds/stones’.
