After all parameters have been entered, you can now measure your weight, body fat and the other data.

2.4 Taking measurements

Switch on the scale (tap the standing surface). Wait until the display shows "0.0".
– Press the "SET" button and select the memory space where you would like to save your basic personal data by
pressing the "up" or "down" button the appropriate number of times. These are displayed in sequence until "0.0"
and the selected gender appear.
– Step onto the scale with bare feet and make sure that you are standing still with equal weight distribution. Stand
on the stainless steel electrodes with both feet.
– Remain on the scale and avoid moving; it is now performing your body fat and body water analysis. This may
take a few seconds.
Note: Your feet, legs, calves and thighs must not touch each other. Otherwise the measurement cannot be
performed correctly.The scale immediately begins to measure your weight.
The following data are displayed:
– Body weight in kg
– Body fat percentage BF in %
– Water percentage BW in %
– Muscle percentage MM in %
– BMI
– Now all measured values are displayed consecutively and the scale switches off.

2.5 Tips for using the scale

Important when measuring body fat/body water/muscle percentage/bone content:
– If possible, always weigh yourself at the same time of day (preferably in the morning), after using the toilet, on an
empty stomach and unclothed, in order to achieve comparable results.
– The measurement may only be carried out while barefoot and it is helpful if the soles of your feet are slightly
damp. Completely dry soles can result in unsatisfactory results, as they have insufficient conductivity.
– Stand still during the measurement.
– Wait several hours after unusually strenuous activity.
– Wait approx. 15 minutes after getting out of bed so that the water in your body can be distributed.
– Remember that only long-term trends are important. Short-term changes in weight within a few days are usually
caused by a loss of fluid. Body water plays an important role towards our general wellbeing.
The measurement is not reliable for:
– Children under approx. 10 years of age.
– Competitive athletes, bodybuilders.
– Pregnant women.
– Persons with fever, undergoing dialysis, with symptoms of edema or osteoporosis.
– Persons taking cardiovascular medication.
– Persons taking vascodialating or vascoconstricting medications.
– Persons with substantial anatomical deviations in the legs relative to their total height (leg length considerably
shorter or longer than usual).
Physical activity
None.
Low: A small amount of light physical effort (e.g. short walks, light garden work,
gymnastic exercises).
Medium: Physical effort for 30 minutes at least 2 to 4 times a week.
High: Physical effort for 30 minutes at least 4 to 6 times a week.
Very high: Intensive physical effort, intensive training or hard physical work for at least
one hour daily.
