3.3 General notes

• The capacity of the scale is 330 lb (150 kg, 24 st).
• For weight measurement and bone mass, the results are shown in 0.2 lb increments (100 g, 0.01 st).
• The measuring results of the body fat, body water and muscle percentage are shown in 0.1 % increments.
• The caloric requirements is specified in steps of 1 Kcal.
• Ages 10 to 100 and height settings from 2'08 – 7'02 (80 to 220 cm) can be preset.
• On delivery, the scale is set to "inch" and "lb". You can switch to "kilogram" (kg) and "stones" (st:lb) by switch-
ing on the scale and immediately pressing the "down" button
shown on the display.

4. The measuring principle

This scale operates according to the B.I.A. principle (bioelectric impedance analysis). This enables the measure-
ment of physical relationships within seconds by means of an unnoticeable and harmless signal from the con-
ductors in the scale. The body fat percentage and other physical relationships in the body can be determined
by measuring the electrical resistance (impedance) and calculating constants and individual parameters such
as age, height, gender, weight and degree of physical activity.
Muscle tissue and water have good electrical conductivity, and therefore lower resistance. Fatty tissue, on the
other hand, has low conductivity as fat cells hold a lower water content than muscles.

5. Batteries

WARNING:
• Swallowing batteries and/or battery fluid can be extremely dangerous. Keep the battery and scale out of
the reach of children. Should a child, or any other person swallow a battery and/or battery fluid, please
call 911 immediately.
• Should battery fluid leak and come into contact with your eyes or skin, immediately rinse with plenty of
clean water. Please call 911 immediately.
• Batteries should not be charged or reactivated by any other means.
• Batteries should not be taken apart, thrown in the fire or short circuited.
