Inserting the batteries
Please remove the plastic insulating strip and/or position the batteries the correct way round. If the scale
fails to operate, remove the batteries completely and reinsert them.
Changing the weight unit
The scale shows the values in kg. On the back of the device, there is a button that you can use to switch
the units between kilograms (kg), pounds (lb) and stone (st:lb), by pressing it several times.
Setting up the scale
Set up the scale on a level and solid surface. A solid surface is a prerequisite for a correct measurement.

6. Information

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 con-
ductivity.
• 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,
• 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).
