Safety Notes / Measurement Principle
Never throw batteries into fire or
water. The batteries may explode.
Avoid extreme conditions and
temperatures which may affect
batteries, e.g. on radiators. Oth-
erwise there is an increased risk
of battery leaks.
Leaked or damaged bat-
teries may cause burns
on contact with the skin. To avoid
this, always wear suitable pro-
tective gloves in these circum-
stances!
Be sure to insert the batteries
correctly (polarity)!
Batteries must not be disposed
of with regular domestic waste!
Every consumer is legally
obliged to dispose of batteries
properly!
Keep batteries away from children;
do not throw batteries into fire,
short-circuit batteries, or take
them apart.
Avoid contact with the skin, eyes
or mucous membranes if fluid
has leaked from the batteries. In
the event of contact with battery
acid, thoroughly flush the affected
area with clean water and seek
immediate medical attention.
Remove the batteries from the
product if it will not be used for
a long period of time.
54 GB/MT
Remove drained batteries from
the product immediately. There
is an increased risk of leaks!
Failure to observe the above
instructions may result in the bat-
teries discharging beyond their
end voltage. This poses a risk of
leaks. If the batteries have leaked
inside your product, immediately
remove the batteries to prevent
product damage!

Measurement Principle

These diagnostic scales use the principle of bioel-
ectrical impedance analysis (BIA). This enables
body parts to be measured within a few seconds
using a non-perceivable, completely harmless and
safe current.
By measuring the electrical resistance (impedance)
and factoring in constants or individual values (age,
height, gender, activity level), the body fat percent-
age and other values can be determined approxi-
mately. Muscle tissue and water have good electrical
conductivity, hence little resistance. Bone and fatty
tissue on the other hand have a low conductivity,
as the fat cells and bones hardly conduct the cur-
rent due to their high resistance.
Please note, the values determined by the diagnostic
scales are only approximate values of the body's
medical, actual analytical values. Only a medical
specialist can determine the exact body fat or wa-
ter content percentages, the muscle mass or the
bone structure through medical procedures (e.g.
computer tomography).
Please note, due to the technology used measuring
tolerances may occur, as these are not calibrated
diagnostic scales for professional, medical purposes.
