Interpreting the results
NOTE:
• Only long-term trends are important. Brief deviations in weight within a few days are normally caused by
loss of fluids.
Interpretation of these results is based on changes in total body weight, percentage of body fat, body water and
muscle content, as well as the length of time over which these changes occur. Rapid changes within the scope of
a few days are considered separately from medium-term changes (in the scope of weeks) and long-term changes
(months). As a basic rule, short-term changes in weight are almost entirely changes in water con tent, whereas
medium-term and long-term changes may relate to fat percentage and muscle percentage.
If you experience short-term weight loss but your body fat percentage increases or stays the same, you have only
lost water, such as after a training session, visit to the sauna, or a diet aimed only at fast weight loss.
On the other hand, if your weight increases in the medium term and your body fat percentage drops or stays the
same, you may have built up valuable muscle mass.
If your weight and body fat percentage both fall at the same time, then your diet is working – you are losing fat mass.
Ideally, you should support your diet with physical activity, fitness or strength training. This enables you to increase
your muscle percentage in the medium term.
Body fat, body water and muscle percentages must not be added (muscle tissue also contains compo nents
made of body water).
9. Care and Maintenance
Clean the scale periodically using a damp cloth and, if necessary, a small amount of mild detergent.
Disposal
Observe the local regulations for material disposal. Dispose of the device in accordance with local
regulations. If you have any questions, please contact the local authorities responsible for waste disposal.
10. Troubleshooting
If the scale encounters an error during measurement, 'FFFF' or 'Err' is displayed. If you step onto the scale
before it displays '0.0', incorrect values may display.
Error display
Possible causes of errors
'FFFF'
The maximum capacity of 400 lb (180 kg,
28 st) has been exceeded.
'Err'
The electrical resistance between the con-
ductors and the soles of the feet is too high
(e.g. in the case of thick calluses or too
dry soles).
'Err'
The fat percentage is outside the measur-
able range (less than 5 % or greater than
50 %).
'Err'
The water percentage is outside the mea-
surable range (less than 25 % or greater
than 75 %).
'Err'
The muscle percentage is outside the mea-
surable range (age and gender related).
'Lo'
Low Power.
No display.
Scale shows unrealistic results.
Correction of errors
Weigh only the maximum permissible weight.
Repeat the measurement barefoot.
If necessary, remove the calluses from the
soles of your feet.

If necessary, remove the calluses from the
soles of your feet.

If necessary, remove the calluses from the
soles of your feet.
Change the battery.
Battery is empty, battery was inserted
incorrectly or the scale is broken.
Wait until scale switches off automatically.
Repeat measurement.
Place the scale on level flooring (no carpet).
Don't move during weighing.
