Notes on Handling Batteries

• Keep batteries away from children. They are not a toy!

• Never throw batteries into a fire or immerse in water.

• When inserting a battery, ensure the correct polarity.

• Do not open the batteries by force.

• Avoid contact with metallic objects. (Rings, nails, screws et cetera.) There is a danger of
short-circuiting!

• As a result of a short-circuit batteries may heat up considerably or even catch fire. This
may result in burns.

• For your own safety the battery poles should be covered with adhesive strips during
transport.

• If a battery leaks do not rub the liquid into your eyes or mucous membranes. If hands
come into contact with the liquid they should be washed thoroughly and eyes rinsed out
with clear water; if symptoms persist please consult a doctor.

The following symbols are to be found on (rechargeable) batteries containing harmful sub­stances:

Pb = contains lead
Cd = contains cadmium

Hg = contains mercury

Li = contains lithium

Batteries

The batteries are two long-life lithium cells. If the letters appear in the display
this means that the batteries need replacing as follows:

Open the cover of the battery compartment on the rear side of the scales.

• Replace the batteries with two cells of type “CR 2032”. Please ensure the correct polarity
(see floor of battery compartment or printed symbol on the exterior).

Body fat is an important part of the body.

• Do not use different battery types or used and new batteries at the same time.

Note: Do not dispose of batteries in the domestic waste. Please return used batteries to the
relevant collection points or the shop where they were bought. Never throw batteries into a
fire.

Battery Compartment
(on the back of the scales)

The two batteries in the battery compartment were secured in place for transport with a
foil. This prolongs the life of the batteries.

Please remove this foil to prepare the scales for initial use.

Information for body fat measurement

People who use a heart pacemaker or another type of medical implant with electronic com­ponents are advised not to use these scales, as otherwise the performance of
the implant may be impaired or endangered.

The device functions correctly if your feet are bare and dry and if you are in standing posi­tion.

Fat plays an important role in your body ranging from the protection of joints with its re­serve of vitamins to the regulation of the body temperature. The goal is not to reduce dras­tically the quantity of fat in your body, but to reach and maintain a balanced relation be­tween the muscular mass and the fat mass.

The significance of water for our health

The human organism consists of approximately 55-60% water, with this quantity varying
according to age and sex. Water has a number of tasks to fulfill in the body:
It is a building block of our cells. This means that all cells in the body, whether these are
skin, gland, muscle, brain or other cells, can only function if they receive enough water.

It is a solvent for important substances in our organism.

It is a means of transport for nutrients, the body’s own substances and metabolic products.
Please see the table of guideline values for the reference value for your fitness profile. It
shows that there is a relation between the body fat values and your age and sex. Always
bear in mind that, as in the case of the water balance in your body, also the share of fat is
subject to great variations. Therefore, weigh yourself always at the same hour of the day to
obtain a comparable value. The results of the analysis of the body fat and body water ratio
are only reference values. They are not recommended for use for medical purposes. You
should always consult your doctor if you have any questions about medical treatment or a
diet to achieve your normal weight

The basic principle of these scales is measurement of the electrical impedance of the body.
The scales send a weak, imperceptible electrical signal through your body in order to de­termine the current values. Under normal circumstances the signal is completely harmless!
Nevertheless you should read our special safety instructions! The measurement is known as
“biometric impedance analysis“ (BIA), a factor which is associated with the body fat and
body water ratio and which is subject to other biological aspects (age, sex, height).

There are heavy people with a well-balanced relation between fat and muscular mass and
there are apparently slender people with substantially higher body fat values. Fat is a factor
that contributes to burdening the body and, in particular, the circulatory system. The checks
of both values (fat and weight) are hence a basic prerequisite for health and fitness.

Attention: Owing to great variations in the level of body fat it is difficult to obtain a refer­ence value. On average for adult men the best time for the measurement is between 6 and
8 o‘clock p.m. because the level of body fat is very constant during this period!

Putting into ser vice

Simple Weighing Function

Position the balance on a hard, flat surface (avoid carpets). Uneven floors lead to imprecise
readings.

1. With the switch next to the battery compartment you may choose between the settings
‘kg’, ‘lb.’ (pound) and ‘St:’ (lb. (Stone)).

2. Switch on the scales by pressing lightly with your foot or toes on the glass surface. You
may also push the ON button . “8888” appears in the display.

3. After a few seconds “0.0”kg (0.0 lb./ 0:0.0 St: (lb.)) appears in the display (5). Now stand
with both feet on the contact surfaces of the scales. Spread your weight out evenly and wait
while the scales
calculate your weight.

4. The indication on the display initially flashes 2x, then your exact weight will be shown.
When you step down from the scales, the device switches off automatically after 10 seconds

or you can push the ON button

Programming your personal data

Attention: Carry out the following operations one after the other and within a few seconds
or the device will automatically interrupt the programming mode!

1. To switch the scales on shortly push on the glass surface with your foot or foot tip or push
the ON switch . Wait until 0.0 kg (0.0 lb./ 0:0.0 St: (lb.)) appears in the display.
Then, push the button to change to the programming mode. ‘SEt’ appears in the display,
then ‘01’ (storage location) starts to flash, and the preset symbol for male’ and the preset
value for the height in
cm (ft.) are shown.

2. Select a storage location using the -/+ buttons.

3. Then push the button and the display changes to the next setting.

4. The symbol for ‘male’ flashes on the display. Use the -/+ buttons to select a setting
(‘male’ or ‘female).

5. Push the button again to change to the HEIGHT setting. The indication ‘170 (5´7.0“) flash­es. Use the -/+ buttons to select a value between 80 (2`7.5“) and 240 cm (7`10.5“).

6. Push the button again to change to the AGE setting. The indication ‘30’ flashes.
Push one of the buttons – or + and hold it down to run up or down through the values in
fast mode. Use the -/+ buttons to select a value between 6 and 100 years. If the age is set to
a value under 16 years, a
child’s face will be shown in the display next to the male/female symbol.

7. Push the button again – the set storage location, sex, age and height values shown in the
display flash for some seconds. If only the number of the storage location flashes, you have
the following options:
a. Push the button again to view all settings.
b. To make any changes choose the storage location with the settings to be changed (flash­ing indication) and push the button. Proceed as described in steps 4 to 6.
c. If you wait for more than 5 seconds without any action, the scales will switch
themselves off. Your personal data is now stored in the selected storage location.
There is an overall number of 16 storage locations. The remaining 15 storage locations
can be used to store also the personal data of other members of your family or other
users of these scales. Determination of the body and bone mass, and the body fat, muscle
and body water percentages First, enter your personal data in one of the
storage locations available. To switch the scales on shortly push on the glass surface
with your foot or foot tip or push the ON switch . The display will show ‘8888’. Use
the -/+ buttons to select the storage location where your personal data is stored.
Note: Measuring is only possible with bare feet. If required, wipe the contact
surfaces clean to enhance conductibility. Put each of your bare feet on 2 of the 4
contact surfaces.

- The display initially shows the stored data including the storage location (flashing),
body height, and sex, then, after some seconds, the display changes to the AGE.
Then, the display shows 0.0 kg (0,0 lb./0:0.0 St: (lb.)).
