Body water percentage
The body water percentage is normally within the following ranges:
Men
Age poor
10 –100 < 50
Body fat contains relatively little water. Therefore persons with a high body fat percentage have body
water percentages below the recommended values. With endurance athletes, however, the recommended
values could be exceeded due to low fat percentages and high muscle percentage.
This scale is unsuitable for measuring body water in order to draw medical conclusions concerning age-
related water retention, for example. If necessary ask your physician. Basically, a high body water percent-
age should be the aim.
Target weight analysis
An additional feature is the ability to enter a target weight. This means that a progress check can be car-
ried out and calculated automatically by the scale with each weighing; a percentage is then shown on the
display in chart form. At each weighing, the last recorded weight is also displayed.
Results in relation to time
Remember that only long-term trends are important. Short-term fluctuations in weight over a few
days are usually the result of a loss of fluid.
The interpretation of the results reflects changes in total body weight, percentage of body fat and body
water as well as muscle density, and takes into account the length of time over which these changes take
place. Sudden changes within days must be distinguished from medium term changes (over weeks) and
long term changes (months).
A basic rule is that short term changes in weight almost exclusively represent changes in water content,
whereas medium and long term changes may also involve the fat and muscle percentages.
• If your weight reduces over the short term, but your body fat percentage increases or remains the same,
you have merely lost water – e.g. after a training session, sauna session or a diet restricted only to rapid
weight loss.
• If your weight increases over the medium term and the body fat percentage falls or stays the same, then
you could have built up valuable muscle mass.
• If your weight and body fat percentage fall simultaneously then your diet is working – you are losing fat mass.
• Ideally you should support your diet with physical activity, fitness or power training. This way you can in-
crease your muscle percentage over the medium term.
• Body fat, body water or muscle percentages should not be added (certain elements of muscle tissue also
contain body water).

10. Replacing batteries

The batteries in the scales must be replaced if the message "LO" appears in the display. If the batteries
are too flat, then the scales will switch off automatically.
Note
• When changing batteries, always use batteries of the same type, brand and capacity.
• Always replace all batteries simultaneously.
• Do not use rechargeable batteries.
• Use batteries that are free of heavy metals.

11. Storage and maintenance

The precision of the measurements and service life of the device depends on its careful handling:

Important

• The unit should be cleaned occasionally. Do not use abrasive detergents and never immerse the
unit in water.
• Make sure that no liquids come into contact with the scales. Never submerge the scales in water.
Never rinse them in running water.
