Preparing To Measure Your Weight - Hartmann Veroval Instrucciones De Uso

If the weight drops in the short term but the body fat percentage increases or remains the same, you have only lost water – for example, after training,
taking a sauna or being on a diet intended to cause rapid weight loss. If your weight increases over the medium term while the body fat percentage
decreases or remains the same, you may have gained valuable muscle mass. If your weight and body fat percentage both decrease, your diet is working
– you are losing body fat.
Ideally, you should boost your diet with physical activity, fitness or strength training. This helps you to increase your muscle percentage in the medium
term. The body fat, body water or muscle percentages should not be summed (muscle tissue also includes part of the body water).
Body Mass Index
The body mass index (BMI) is a figure that is often used to assess weight. The number is calculated from the values for the weight and height using the fol-
lowing formula:
Body Mass Index = weight ÷ height
lowing values:
Classification
Underweight
Normal weight
Overweight
Obese (overweight)

Information about the ideal weight
The ideal weight is very individual. A guideline for the ideal weight is to use the mean of the BMI for normal weight (21.75) relative to the person's
height: 21.75 × height in m 2 (example: 21.75 kg/m
Limitations
When determining the body fat and other values, deviating and implausible results may be given for:
Children younger than 10 years of age
Athletes and body builders
Pregnant women
People with a fever, undergoing dialysis, with symptoms of oedema (water retention) or osteoporosis
People who are taking cardiovascular medication (medicines that affect the heart and blood circulation)
People who are taking medications that expand or contract blood vessels
People with considerable anatomical deviations in the legs relative the total height (leg length considerably shorter or longer).

Inserting / changing the batteries
Open the battery cover on the back of the scale. Insert three 1.5V AAA batteries (see Chapter 12 'Technical data'). Ensure correct polarity ('+' and '–')
when inserting batteries. Replace the battery cover.
Open the battery cover on the back of the control unit. Insert two 3V CR2032 button batteries (see Chapter 12 'Technical data'). Ensure correct polari-
ty ('+' and '–') when inserting batteries. Replace the battery cover. Set date and time as described below.

When changing the batteries the measured value memory is not deleted.
