Tips:
• Place the scale on a hard, level floor (no carpet); a firm floor covering is required for correct measurement.
• If possible, always weigh yourself at the same time of day (preferably in the morning) under comparable condi-
tions such as after using the toilet, on an empty stomach and unclothed, in order to achieve comparable results.
• Stand still and upright during the measurement.
• Wait a few hours after physical activity.
• Wait about 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 usu-
ally caused by a loss of fluid. Body water plays an important role towards our general well-being.
Important when measuring body fat/body water/muscle percentage/bone mass:
• The measurement may only be carried out while barefoot. Dry soles or callused skin can result in unsatis-
factory results, as they have insufficient conductivity.
• Your feet, legs, calves and thighs must not touch each other, as otherwise the measurement cannot be
performed correctly.
