• Please dispose if the appliance in accordance with the Directive on Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). In case of queries, please
contact the municipal authorities responsible for waste disposal in your
area.
Keep packaging materials away from children.These are a suocation risk.
Batteries are very dangerous if swallowed. Keep batteries and scale out of
reach of small children. If batteries are swallowed, seek medical help
immediately.
HOW DIAGNOSTIC SCALES WORK
This scale operates according to B.I.A (bioelectric impedance analysis). This enables
physical relationships to be measured within seconds by means of an undetectable,
completely harmless electric current. The body fat percentage and other physical
measurements of the body can be determined by measuring the electrical
resistance (impedance) and the inclusion of these in a calculation of constants and
individual parameters (age, height and gender).
Muscle tissue and water have good electrical conductivity, and therefore lower
resistance. Bones and fatty tissue, on the other hand, have low conductivity, as fat
cells are bone conduct hardly any current as a result of their very high resistance.
Please be aware that values obtained from the diagnostic scale represent only an
approximation of actual analytical medical data. Only a specialist physician can accurately determine body fat, body waster muscle percentage and bone structure using
medical procedures. This scale should only be used for trend analysis.
HOW TO WEIGH YOURSELF CORRECTLY
If possible, always weigh yourself at the same time of day (ideally in the morning),
after going to the toilet, on an empty stomach and without clothes to achieve
comparable results. Wait approximately 15 minutes after getting up in the morning
to allow the water in the body to distribute.
GENERAL
For diagnostic measurement purposes, body fat can only be measured
when barefoot and with the soles of the feet slightly moist.
Completely dry soles can result in unsatisfactory measurements due to
inadequate conductivity.
Stand still during the measurement.
Wait a few hours after abnormal strenuous activity.
3
LIMITATIONS
When measuring body fat and other values, deviating and implausible
results may occur in:
• children under approximately 10 years,
• competitive athletes and body builders,
• pregnant women,
• persons with fever, undergoing dialysis treatment or with symptoms
of edema or osteoporosis,
• persons taking cardiovascular medication,
• persons taking vascular dilating or vascular constricting medication,
• persons with considerable anatomic deviations of the legs in rela-
tion to total body size (length of the legs considerably shortened or
lengthened).
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
This scale has been designed to determine the weight of human beings.
The scale can measure up to 150kg. For weight measurement and bone mass
measurement, the results are shown in 100g increments. The measuring results of
the body fat, body water and muscle percentage are shown in 0.1% increments..
BATTERIES
If present, pull the battery insulating strip o the battery compartment
cover or remove the battery’s protective lm and insert the batteries
according to the polarity. If the scale fails to operate, remove the batteries
completely and insert them correctly again.
Battery replacing indicator: When the batteries need replacing,
the “LO” message will appear on the display.
Please open the battery cover, remove the batteries carefully from the
battery compartment by drawing them sideways out from under the
contacts. DO NOT bend the contents back while you do this, or they may
break. Dispose of the old batteries in an environmentally friendly manner.
If you do not intend to use this scale for a long period of time, we
recommend removing the batteries before storing the scale.

MEASURING YOUR WEIGHT
Press quickly and forcefully with your foot on the platform of your scale or
press the button. (DO NOT stand on the scale). Wait for the display to
display “0,0” .The scale is now ready to measure your weight.
Wait while the scale computes your weight.
Your correct weight will then be displayed as follows:
Your scale rounds up or down to the nearest 100g. If you weigh yourself
twice and get two dierent readings, your weight is the average of the
two.
5
Only use the scale on a hard and
even surface. Weighing on a carpet
will aect the accuracy of the scale.
Stand squarely and gently on the scale distributing your weight evenly
between your feet.
DO NOT lean backwards and/or forwards.
NEVER step onto the outer edge of the scale as this could cause the scale to tip.

INTERPRETING YOUR RESULTS
In order of appearance on screen after your weight is displayed:
Your weight is compared with the BMI (Body Mass Index). It is calculated
using the following formula: BMI = ( Weight in Kilograms / ( Height in
Meters x Height in Meters ) )
Note that with very muscular physiques (body builders), the BMI
interpretation will show overweight. The reason for this is that no account
is taken of well above average muscle mass in the BMI formula.
Body fat percentage
The following body fat percentages are for guidance only (contact your
physician for further information).

Muscle
A lower value is often found in athletes. Depending on the type of sports,
training intensity and physical constitution, values may result which are
below the recommended values stated. It should, however, be noted that
there could be a danger to health in the case of extremely low values.
Body water
The body water percentage is normally within the following ranges:
Body fat contains relatively little water. Therefore persons with a high body
fat percentage have body water percentages below the recommended
values. With endurance athletes, however, the recommended values could
be exceeded due to low fat percentages and high muscle percentage.
Body water measurement with this scale is not suitable for drawing
medical conclusions, for example concerning age related water retention.
If necessary ask your physician.
High body water percentage should be the aim.
Muscle percentage
The normal percentage of muscle is in the following ranges:
Age Poor Good Very Good
10-90 <50% 50-65% >65%

Bone mass
Like the rest of our body, our bones are subject to natural development,
degeneration and the ageing process. Bone mass increases rapidly in
childhood and reaches its maximum between 30 and 40 years of age.
Bone mass reduces slightly with increasing age. You can reduce this
degeneration somewhat with healthy nutrition (particularly calcium and
vitamin D) and regular exercise. With appropriate muscle building, you can
also strengthen your bone structure.
Note that this scale will not show you the calcium content of your bones,
but will measure the weight of all bone constituents (organic substances,
inorganic substances and water).
ATTENTION: Please do not confuse bone mass with bone
density. Bone density can be determined only by means of a
medical examination. It is therefore not possible to draw
conclusions concerning changes to the bones and bone
hardness (e.g. osteoporosis) using this scale.
Little inuence can be exerted on bone mass, but it will vary
slightly within the inuencing factors (weight, height, age,
gender).
Results in relation to time
Note that it is only the long-term trend which counts. Short period
uctuations in weight over a few days are mostly the result of a loss of
uid.
The interpretation of the results will depend on changes in your overall
weight and body fat, body water and muscle percentages, as well as on
the period during which these changes take place. Rapid changes within
days must be distinguished from medium term changes (over weeks)
and long term changes (months). A basic rule is that short term changes in
weight almost exclusively represent changes in water content, whereas
medium and long term changes may also involve the fat and muscle
percentages.
• If your weight reduces over the short term, but your body fat
percentage increases or remains the same, you have merely lost water
– e.g. after a training session, sauna session or a diet restricted only to
rapid weight loss.
• If your weight increases over the short term, but your body fat
percentage falls or stays the same, then you could have built up
valuable muscle mass.
• If your weight and body fat percentage fall simultaneously then your
diet is working – you are losing fat mass. Ideally you should support
your diet with physical activity. By these means, you can increase your
muscle percentage over the medium term.

AUTOMATIC SWITCH OFF
When you step o the scale, it will automatically switch o.
(If no weighing takes place while the zero is being displayed, the scale
switches o automatically after approximately 10 seconds).
OVERLOAD INDICATOR
When the scale is overloaded (weight exceeds 150kg), this
error message will appear on the screen.
INCORRECT MEASUREMENT
If the scale detects an error during measurement, this is indicated with
11
Possible cause of error Remedy
The scale was not activated before you stood
on it. If you stand on the scale before “0.0”
appears on the display, the scale will not
function properly.
Activate the scale correctly and repeat the
measurement.
The maximum capacity of 150kg was
exceeded
Weigh only the maximum permissible
weight.
The electrical resistance between the
electrodes and the soles of the feet is too
high (e.g. in the case of thick calluses).
Repeat the measurement barefoot.
If necessary, moisten the soles of your feet
slightly. If necessary, remove the calluses
form the soles of your feet.
You are standing unsteadily on the scale. Keep still while standing on the scale.
The fat percentage is outside the measurable
range (less than 5% or greater than 50%)
Repeat the measurement barefoot or, if
necessary, moisten the soles of your feet
slightly.
Be careful not to use the scale with wet feet.
The water percentage is outside the
measurable range (less than 36% or greater
than 70%)
Repeat the measurement barefoot or, if
necessary, moisten the soles of your feet
slightly.
Be careful not to use the scale with wet feet.
The muscle and bone percentages are
outside the measurable range (age and
gender related)
Repeat the measurement barefoot or, if
necessary, moisten the soles of your feet
slightly.
Be careful not to use the scale with wet feet.
