Measuring your weight
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.
Together with your personal data (sex, weight, age, and height), the scales calculate the
following information about your body composition:
Weight
Body fat proportion in %
Body water in %
Muscle mass %
Bone mass (kg), and your daily
Basal metabolism in Kcal (energy demand)
The scales are equipped with 12 memory cells in total.
Measurement errors
Measurement or calculation errors may arise for the following groups of people during
the body analysis:
People who ....
... spend 10 hours or more per week playing sport,
... are professional athletes, body builders, and endurance athletes,
... are over 70 years old.
... are less than 10 years old.
The "normal weighing function" (see next chapter) is not affected by these
considerations.
Measuring your weight
For normal weighing – without body analysis – you do not have to input
any data.
1. With a little force, step once briefly onto the weighing surface.
"0.0" and the set unit of measurement, e.g. "kg", will be shown on the display.
2. Position yourself on the scales. Remain standing still and do not hold on to
anything.
The measured weight will be displayed shortly thereafter.
A few seconds after you step off the weighing surface, the scales will switch off
automatically.
