Explanation of the 5 levels of activity:
– Fitness 1: No physical activity while overweight
– Fitness 2: Little physical activity while overweight
– Fitness 3: No or little physical activity
(Less than 20 min of physical exercise twice a week, e.g. going for a walk, light
gardening, gymnastic exercises)
This mode should also be selected before the start of a training or dietary program.
After approx. 6–10 weeks you can switch to the next level of activity.
– Fitness 4: Moderate physical activity
(20 minutes of physical exercise 2 to 5 times a week, e.g. jogging, cycling, tennis
etc.)
This mode should be selected as soon as you notice a general improvement in your
well-being/fitness in the course of a training/dietary program. After 8–12 weeks of
continuous training/diet, you can change to the next level of activity.
– Fitness 5: Intensive physical activity
(Daily intensive training or physical work, e.g. intensive running, construction work
etc.) For this mode you should have an overall high level of mobility, endurance
and power and maintain this level over a longer period of time.
The scale has 10 memory presets for basic data with which the users, e.g. each
member of the family, can store and call up their personal settings at any time.
– First briefly step onto the scale.
– Select the memory preset where your basic personal data are stored by pressing
the "User" button repeatedly. The data are displayed consecutively until "0.0" (Fig.
2) appears.
– Step onto the scale barefoot and make sure you're standing on both electrodes.
First your body weight is determined and displayed.
– Remain standing on the scale; now the body fat and body water analysis is per-
formed. This can take a few seconds.
Important: Your feet, legs, calves and thighs must not touch each other, as
otherwise the measurement cannot be performed correctly.
– "bf%" appears in the display for 2 seconds (Fig. 10), then your body fat percent-
age is shown for 3 seconds (Fig. 11). An arrow pointing up, down or an open circle
in the left-hand half of the display indicates whether your percentage of body fat
is too high, too low or normal.
