General Tips; Initial Use Of The Scale With The App - Beurer BF 950 Instrucciones De Uso

can be calculated. Muscle tissue and water conduct electricity well and therefore have a lower resistance. In
contrast, bones and fat tissue have low conductivity as the fat cells and bones are barely able to conduct the
current due to very high levels of resistance.
Please note that the values calculated by the diagnostic bathroom scale only represent an approximation of
the actual medical analytical values for the body. Only a specialist doctor can precisely establish the body
fat, body water, muscle percentage and bone structure using medical methods (e.g. computer tomography).

General tips

• As far as possible, weigh yourself at the same time everyday (ideally in the morning), after having been to
the toilet, on an empty stomach and without clothing, in order to obtain results which can be compared.
• Important point regarding the measurement: the calculation of body fat may only be made when barefoot;
the soles of the feet may be lightly dampened where appropriate.
• There must be no skin contact between your feet, legs, calves or thighs. Otherwise, the measurement
cannot be taken correctly.
• Stand up straight and still during measurement.
• Wait a few hours after any physical exertion to which your body is unaccustomed.
• Wait approx. 15 minutes after getting up so that the water stored in your body can disperse.
• Remember that only the long-term trend is important. Short-term changes in weight within a few days
are normally caused by loss of fluids; however, body water plays an important role in terms of well-being.
• The total of all analytical values comes to more than 100% because body water must not be added; body
water is already included in the other analytical values (e.g. body fat, muscle percentage).
Limitations
When calculating body fat and the other values, unusual and implausible results may occur in the case of:
• Children under approx. 5 years of age
• Performance athletes and bodybuilders
• Persons with a fever, persons undergoing dialysis, persons with oedema symptoms and persons suffering
from osteoporosis
• Persons taking cardiovascular medication (affecting the heart and vascular system)
• Persons taking vasodilative or vasoconstrictive medication
• Persons with significant anatomical abnormalities in their legs compared with their overall body height (leg
length significantly shorter or longer)

5. INITIAL USE OF THE SCALE WITH THE APP

To calculate your body fat percentage and additional body values, you must save the personal user data on
the scale.
The scale has 8 user memory spaces which allows, for example, you and your family members to save per-
sonal settings.
It is also possible to activate users via other mobile end devices on which the "beurer HealthManager Pro" /
"beurer HealthManager" app has been installed or by changing the user profile in the app.
Keep the smartphone close to the scale in order to maintain an active Bluetooth
1. Activate Bluetooth
2. Insert the batteries and place the scale on a solid surface ("USE APP" will flash on the scale's LCD).
3. Download the free "beurer HealthManager Pro" / "beurer HealthManager" app from the Apple App
Store (iOS) or from Google Play (Android).
4. Start the app and follow the instructions.
