basic settings of the appliance.

3.1 General tips and information
SV
•
Wherever possible, weigh yourself at the same time every day (preferably in the
FR
morning), after going to the toilet, before you eat and without clothes. This will
allow you to compare readings.
IT
•
After getting up, wait for approx. 15 minutes before you weigh yourself so that the
water in your body can distribute itself evenly.
PT
•
Stand up straight and keep still during the weighing process. Exert even pressure
on the surface of the scales.
TR
•
Important when measuring weight: Your weight can only be measured if you are
barefoot. If necessary, you can slightly moisten the soles of your feet. If the soles of
HE
your feet are completely dry or the skin is very hard, then this can result in unsatis-
factory results because conductivity will be impaired.
•
Your long-term weight development is most important. Short-term deviations
within the space of a few days are usually caused by loss of uids.
•
Please note that these scales are not certi ed for professional, medical use and that
measurements may vary (tolerance) for technical reasons.
3.1.1 Measuring your body fat percentage
•
These scales use the B.I.A. method, bioelectrical impedance analysis. A weak, safe
electrical current is passed through your body and the level of resistance to the cur-
rent is measured. Fatty tissue will be more resistant, while the signal passes through
lean body mass more easily. In combination with your height, weight, age and gen-
der, the resistance measurement can be used to calculate body fat and body water
percentages. Please note that the body measurements obtained by the device are
only an approximation of actual analytical medical data. Exact calculation of body
fat, body water, muscle mass and other body parameters can only be carried out by
a specialist doctor using medical methods.
•
Any diet or treatment for over- or underweight must be accompanied by compe-
tent advice from corresponding specialists (e.g. a doctor).
•
Body fat calculations for children, competitive athletes or people with medical/
physical impairments (e.g. oedema symptoms; osteoporosis; on cardiovascular or
vascular-changing medication; signi cant anatomic deviations in the leg area) may
result in imprecise or improbable results.
•
If you have insu cient blood ow in your legs; venous stasis which is too high; va-
scular constriction or extensive oedemas of the leg, then calculation of your heart
frequency may result in imprecise or improbable results.
3.2 Operation of the device
3.2.1 Installation site
To avoid measurement deviations due to variations in the surface underneath the scales,
always place them on a at, hard, stable surface and in the same location.
