the following symbol:
Note
1. At 80 MHz and 900 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.

propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects
and people.
a Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio
(cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM
and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted
theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment
due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be
considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the
ACCUNIQ BC720 is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level
above, the ACCUNIQ BC720 should be observed to verify normal
operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may
be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the ACCUNIQ BC720.
b Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less
than 3 V/m.

Recommended separation distances between portable and mobile RF communications
equipment and the ACCUNIQ BC720
The ACCUNIQ BC720 is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated
RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the ACCUNIQ BC720 can help
prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and
mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the ACCUNIQ BC720 as
recommended below, according to the maximum output power of the communications
equipment.

ABOUT BODY
C
OMPOSI
TION
1. Body Composition
Human body consists of body fat and lean body. Lean body means non-fat constituents of
human body like body water, muscles, mineral, etc.
Body water is divided into intra- and extra-cellular water and the ratio between them is
controlled and maintained within a certain range. Body fat is piled beneath the skin and
between abdominal organs. Body fat is hydrolyzed to make energy needed to normal
physiological function when energy supply through food intake is not sufficient, but excessive
fat in the body itself is a kind of disease and causes lifestyle diseases.
Healthy people maintain the balance of body composition in a steady proportion but
unhealthy people persons fail to keep this balance. When the balance in body composition is
broken, diseases like obesity, malnutrition, osteoporosis, etc. can be caused.
2. Obesity
Various methods can be used to assess obesity but the key factor in obesity assessment is
the amount of fat accumulated in the body.
In general, obesity is defined as the state of not only excessive weight compared with height
(visible obese) but also excessive body fat compared with weight (invisible or visible obese).
Strictly speaking obesity is the state that body fat occupies considerably high ratio to weight.
3. Necessity of Body Composition Analysis
Body Composition Analysis is a good indicator in finding possible health problems. Body
composition analysis enables professionals to find obesity or imbalance in body composition
at an early stage and helps subjects keep their body healthy.
4. Waist to hip ratio
Waist to hip ratio (W.H.R.) shows the distribution of fat stored in one’s abdomen and hip. It is
simple but useful to assess body fat distribution. Body fat is stored in two distinct ways. They
are often categorized into and called 'apple' and 'pear' type. Apple type shows bigger girth of
waist than hip and pear type has bigger girth of hip than waist. If body fat in abdomen
increases more, the risk to cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, etc. becomes higher.
5. Abdominal Fatness
Body fat is divided into subcutaneous fat and visceral fat. Visceral obesity is considered to be
a critical risk factor along with Percentage of body fat.
Lipoprotein lipase can be easily activated in visceral fat, and it causes visceral fat to be
dissolved easily. Dissolved visceral fat goes into liver through the blood vessel and causes
fatty liver or increases lipid in the blood. It also elevates the risk of hyperinsulinemia,

19
hypertension, and cardiovascular disease.
Visceral fat generally occupies 10 ~ 20 % of body fat and visceral obesity is assessed based
on the indicators below.
- the cross sectional fat area between L4 ~ L5 is 100 cm2 and over
- the visceral fat to subcutaneous fat ratio is 0.4 and over
- the waist to hip ratio (W.H.R.) is over 0.9 (male) / 0.85 (female)
- the circumference of waist is over 102 cm/45 inches (male) _ 88 cm / 35 inches (female)
Visceral fat increases after 30s in men and after Menopause in women. It is more common in
men than women and the old than the young. Visceral fat tends to increase with aging.
Because the combustion rate per minute of visceral fat is higher than that of subcutaneous
fat, visceral fat can be easily reduced by exercise or dietary control in case of abdominal
obesity. W.H.R. is the ratio of waist to hip circumference and has relation to one’s figure.
6. Segmental Analysis
This device analyzes soft lean mass, body fat mass, total body water and E.C.W./T.B.W. of
five body parts; trunk, right arm, left arm, right leg, and left leg. This function can be used as
an assessment tool to evaluate the result of exercise or rehabilitation treatment.
7. Age Matched of Body
It is the estimated physical age of the subject considering body composition analysis result,
gender, and biological age. This is calculated by comparing the optimal body composition
based on the gender and biological age of the subject with the actual analyzed body
composition. It can be used to evaluate the subject’s health and body development.
8. Study
It is the provided impedance.
Impedance indicates the segmental impedance of five body parts (left and right arms, left and
right legs, and trunk) corresponding to each frequency (1~ 1000 kHz).
