Removing iso-strips
When the scales are delivered, the battery is already inserted and fitted with iso-strips
to prevent it from discharging ahead of time. In order to start up the scales, you must
remove the iso-strips.
The battery compartment is located on the underside of the device.
1. Press down firmly on the arrow of the battery compartment cover and slide it off in
the direction of the arrow.
2. Pull out the iso-strips.
3. Slide the battery compartment cover against the direction of the arrow until it
stops.
Choosing the unit of measurement
When the scales are delivered, the unit of measurement is set to "kg" as standard.
However, the measurement result can also be displayed in the English units "lb"
(pound).
− To select the desired unit of measurement, press repeatedly the UNIT button on
the back of the scale. Note the display.
Positioning the scales
− Place the scales on an even, firm, and dry surface. Do not place the scales on
carpet.
This is how your body analyser scales work
Your new body analyser scales work using so-called BIA-technology (Bioelectric
Impedance Analysis). This involves an undetectable, completely harmless and weak
current flowing through your body.
The measurement takes place via sensors that are mounted on the weighing surface.
The current flows relatively unhindered through the fluid contained in muscle
mass.
In fat mass, the resistance is greater. This resistance is measured.
