PERSONAL SCALE VT-1984 VT

The scale is intended for measuring body weight
and percentage of fat, water and muscle and
bone tissue in a human body.

This scale uses bioelectric body impedance
analysis «BIA» method that allows to pre­cisely calculate the percentage of fat, muscle
and bone tissue, and water. The calculation
is based on personal data (height, age, sex)
entered into the unit’s memory.

BEFORE THE FIRST USE

After unit transportation or storage at low
temperature, it is necessary to keep it for
at least 3 hours at room temperature before
switching on.

– If there is a protective film on the scale sur-

face, remove it.

– Clean the scale with a soft, slightly damp cloth

and then wipe it dry.

BATTERY INSTALLATION AND
REPLACEMENT

– Remove the battery compartment lid (7) and

insert 2 «AAA» batteries (supplied with the
unit), strictly following the polarity.

– Place the battery compartment lid (7) back to

its place.

Note: The unit can be supplied with the batteries
installed in the battery compartment. In this case
an isolation insert is inserted preventing dis­charge. If there is an isolation insert in the battery
compartment, remove the battery compartment
lid (7), remove the isolation insert and install the
lid back to its place.

Battery replacement

– When the battery is low, the symbol «Lo» will

appear on the display (3).

– Open the battery compartment lid (7), replace

the «AAA» batteries with new ones, strictly fol­lowing the polarity, and close the lid (7).

– If you do not use the scale for a long time,

remove the batteries from the battery com­partment.

WHAT IS EXCESS WEIGHT?

It is generally known that excessive body weight can
negatively affect health. Excess weight can cause
obesity, heart problems, facilitate atherosclerosis
and osteoporosis; but deficient body weight may
also lead to osteoporosis. (Osteoporosis is a sys­temic skeleton disease characterized by reduced
bone density and impairment of bone tissue micro­architectonics and leading to increased bone fra­gility and risk of fracture by minimal trauma or even
without it).
Physical exercises and a moderate diet help to
lose excess weight and this scale will help to con­trol your weight.
It is known that in case of low weight muscles and
body tissues contain more water than fat. Electric
current passes through water better than through
fat. Sending weak current through the body, the

scale quickly and easily calculates the percentage
of fat and water in a human body. You can control
your weight relying on the results of the calculation.

RECOMMENDATIONS

– Weigh yourself at the same time of the day.
– It is recommended to measure fat and water

percentage in the evening before supper.

– At least 2-3 hours should pass after the meal.
– At least 10-12 hours should pass after inten-

sive physical exercises.

– Percentage of fat in the body depends on dif-

ferent factors and can change during the day.

– When calculating fat and water percentage of

children under 10 years of age, the results may
be inaccurate.

– Professional sportsmen, people inclined to

edemas and people with nonstandard body
proportions can show inaccurate results of
calculation.

Note: Fat, bone and muscle tissue and water
percentage can be calculated only if personal
data (sex, age, height) are entered correctly
and if you step on the scale barefoot.

SWITCHING ON

– Place the scale on a flat solid surface; if the

floor is uneven or covered with a carpet or rug,
the weighing accuracy decreases.

– The scale is switched on when a weight over

5 kg is placed on the platform or by touching
the «SET» button (5).

MEASUREMENT UNITS SELECTION

– Switch the scale on using one of the options

described above.

– To select weight measurement units, press the

«kg/lb/st» button (6) repeatedly.

– Measurement units are shown on the display (3):

«kg» – weight is measured in kilograms;
«lb» – weight is measured in pounds;
«st/lb» – weight is measured in stones and

pounds.

WEIGHT MEASUREMENT

– Step on the scale to switch it on.
– Keep your feet parallel to each other and dis-

tribute your weight evenly.

– Stay still while weighing. During weight mea-

surement the weight values will be flashing on
the display (3), and after measurement they
will glow constantly.

Confirm your selection with the «SET» button (5).

– Then the flashing symbol of the sex will be

shown on display. Use the buttons (4) «▲/▼»
to select the

symbol for women or the

symbol for men. Confirm your selection by
the «SET» button (5).

– Then the height values in centimeters will be

flashing on the display. Set the height in the
range from 100 to 220 cm using the buttons (4)
«▲/▼», press the «SET» button (5) to confirm
your settings.

– The age values (age) will be flashing on the

display. Set the age in the range from 10 to
80 years using the buttons (4) «▲/▼». Touch
the «SET» button (5) to save the age data.

– Then the zero weight value «0.0» will be shown

on the display, it means that the scale is ready
to calculate your parameters.

CALCULATION OF FAT, BONE AND MUSCLE
TIISUE AND WATER PERCENTAGE IN A
HUMAN BODY

– Touch the «SET» button (5).
– Select a user number with the buttons (4)

«▲/▼». User data entered earlier (sex, height,
age) will be shown on the display.

– Wait until the symbols «0.0» are shown on the

display.

– Step with your bare feet on the scale so that both

feet are on the contact areas (2) at the same

time. Stay still during the weight measurement
and wait till the weight indications appear.

– Keep standing on the scale. After calculation the

following data will be shown on the display (3):

– the user’s weight in selected weight units;
– fat percentage (BF),
– water percentage (BW),
– bone weight percentage (BON).
– muscle weight percentage (MUS).

– recommended level of daily calorie intake

(KCAL).

– The weight and results of calculation will be

shown several times more, then the unit will be
switched off automatically.

Note:
IT IS NECESSARY to enter personal data into
the unit memory before measuring fat, water
percentage, etc.
Wait till the fat percentage is shown before
you step off the scale.
If a symbol «Err» appears on the display (3), it
means that the scale is overloaded. Step off
the scale immediately to avoid its damage.
Maximum weight capacity of the scale is 180 kg.
The symbol «Err2» shows that an error
occurred during calculation. Step off the
scale, make sure that the data is entered cor­rectly and repeat weighting.

Change of fat percentage in a human body
during the day

The indications of fat percentage in a human body
are affected by such factors as lifestyle, physical
activity, health condition, and also water percent­age in the body.
You should take into account the following factors:

– the fat percentage indications may be less if

measured after taking a bath or a shower,

– the fat percentage indications may be higher if

measured after having meal or drinking,

– percentage of liquid in a human body may

decrease and thus change the fat percentage
indications during and after illness and after
physical exercises.

ENGLISH

Water percentage in a human body (BW)

Water percentage in a human body (BW) is the
percentage ratio of liquid in the human body and
the total weight. Water is of primary importance
for functioning of human tissues and organs,
since 50-65% of our body consist of water, with
this scale you can control the percentage of water
in your body and correct this important charac­teristic.

What is muscle bulk (MUS)?

The muscle bulk (MUS) value shows the weight
of locomotor system muscles, smooth muscles
(heart and digestive system) and water in these
muscles.
Control of muscle bulk is especially important for
people with excessive weight. Weight loss may
lead to decrease of fat tissues, but only if you gain
muscle bulk at the same time.

What is bone mass (BON)?

Bone tissues are the base of human skeleton; they
are solid and resistant to external stress, protect­ing internal organs, and together with the mus­cle tissue the bone tissues provide the ability of a
human to move.
Bone mass measurement is based on calculating
the minerals mass in a human body (calcium or
other matters). Research has showed that devel­opment of muscle tissues makes the skeleton
stronger. This fact should be taken into account
when making up a diet and calculating physical
activity to maintain the bones strong and healthy.
Bone mass (BON) practically doesn’t change;
however, some decrease is possible due to many
factors (weight, height, age, sex). That’s why this
manual does not contain standard values and rec­ommendations concerning the bone mass.

Recommended level of daily calorie
intake (KCAL)

The level of daily calorie intake (KCAL) is the
amount of energy required by a human body at
rest to maintain its vital functions (for instance, if

you merely stay in bed for 24 hours). The required
amount of calories significantly depends on the
weight, height and age of a person. This amount
of calories is required by the human body and
it should be regained by means of food. If you
receive less calories for a long time, it may harm
your health.

Analysis of weighing results

As a rule, short-term changes of weight within
several days are the result of minor loss of liquid
in your body tissues. Analyze the results of regu­lar weight measurements taken throughout a long
time. Evaluation of the results is based on changes
of total weight and tissue percentage and depends
on the duration of the period within which the mea­surements have been taken.
Short-term indication changes during a day
can be significantly different from the indication
changes within a week or a month.
As a rule, short-term indication changes are
connected with percentage of liquid in body tis­sues, and medium- and long-term changes are
caused by changes in the amount of fat and
muscle bulk.

– For instance, short-term weight loss and

simultaneous growth or constant amount of fat
in body tissues may be caused by decreased
amount of liquid as a result of physical exer­cises, visiting sauna or may happen at quick
weight loss.

– Medium-term increase of weight, decrease

of fat amount or constant fat amount in body
tissues may be caused by increase of mus­cle bulk.

– If you notice simultaneous decrease of total

weight and fat percentage, it means that your
diet works.

– The best results are achieved if you

combine diet with various physical exercises,
in this case you can observe the medium-term
increase of muscle mass in body tissues.

CLEANING AND CARE

– Clean the scale with a soft, slightly damp cloth

and then wipe it dry.

– Never use abrasives or solvents.
– Do not immerse the scale into water or any

other liquids, do not wash it in a dishwashing
machine.

– Keep the scale away from children in a dry

cool place.
