2.5 Tips for using the scale

Important when measuring body fat/body water/muscle percentage/bone content:
– The measurement may only be carried out while barefoot and it is helpful if the soles of your feet are slightly
damp. Completely dry soles can result in unsatisfactory results, as they have insufficient conductivity.
– Your feet, legs, calves and thighs must not touch each other, as otherwise the measurement cannot be per-
formed correctly.
– Stand still during the measurement.
– Wait several hours after unusually strenuous activity.
– Wait approx. 15 minutes after getting out of bed so that the water in your body can be distributed.
The measurement is not reliable for:
– Children under approx. 10 years of age.
– Persons with fever, undergoing dialysis, with symptoms of edema or osteoporosis.
– Persons taking cardiovascular medication. Persons taking vascodialating or vascoconstricting medications.
– Persons with substantial anatomical deviations in the legs relative to their total height (leg length considerably
shorter or longer than usual).
