before the first use
• Take the appliance and accessories out the box. Remove the
stickers, protective foil or plastic from the device.
• The device can only function correctly if you stand on the contact
surface with bare, dry feet!
• The main principle of this device is based on the measurement of the
electric impedance within the human body. In order to determine the
actual body data, the device leads a weak, unnoticeable electric signal
through your body.
• This signal is generally safe! However, please read our special safety
instructions!
• The method of measurement is referred to as "bioelectric impedance
analysis" (BIA), a factor which is based on the relationship between
body weight and associated body water percentages as well as on other
biological data(age, gender, body weight).
• There are heavy persons with a well-balanced percentage between fat
and muscle mass, and there are seemingly slim persons with significantly
high body fat values, fat is a factor that puts serious strain on the body, in
particular the cardio-vascular system. Therefore, controlling both values
(fat and weight) is a prerequisite for health and fitness.
use
• The scales are factory set with the units"kg" and "cm". To change the
settings to "lb" or "kg" and 'Ft:in",proceed as follows: On the back side of
the scale beside the battery compartment a switch can be found, push
the below switch, choose between the measuring units kg/lb/st.
weighing func tion
• Place the scale on a hard, flat surface (avoid carpets). An uneven floor
contributes to inaccurate measurements.
• Stand on the scales with both feet. The device switches on automatically.
• Distribute your weight equally and wait for the scale to determine your weight.
• The digits on the display will flash before your exact weight will be shown.
• In order to extend the battery life, the device will automatically turn off
10 seconds after you have stepped off the scale.
saving personal date
• The scale has default values that you can change, as described below.
• Carry out the following steps in sequence and within a few seconds,
otherwise the device will automatically cancel the input mode.
• Press the button SET. The memory space will flash on the display (P0).
Confirm the setting by pressing SET or select another memory space by
pressing the UP/DOWN button and then SET to go to the next setting.
• The symbol for"male" or "female" will flash. Confirm the setting by
pressing SET or use the UP/DOWN button to choose the symbol for your
gender and then press to go the next setting.
• The height setting will flash. Select your height by pressing the UP or
DOWN button. Holding down one of the buttons will accelerate the
process. Confirm your entry by pressing SET.
• The setting AGE will flash. Select your age by pressing the UP or DOWN
button. Holding down one of the buttons will accelerate the process.
Confirm your entry by pressing SET.
• The device can only function correctly if you stand on the device with
bare,dry feet. If necessary wipe the contact surface to improve the
results.
• Due to the significant fluctuation of body fat the optimal testing time is
between 6 p.m. And 8 p.m, since the body fat remains very consistent
during this period of time.
