What does Your Acv8rlives Body Analyser Measure?
Weight
Your weight is calculated and stored in the Cloud server. For a single view of your weight, it will fall either in the
Red, Amber or Green zones of the charts used in the Acv8rlives4 Health+Wellness App to indicate if you are
within a healthy range for your height and weight.
Body Fat %
This value can serve as a guide to whether you need to adjust your diet, tness programme or uid intake to
help you to achieve a healthy weight and balance of body composion.
Our bodies comprise of bone, fat and muscle. Fat is vital for a healthy, funconing body - it protects vital organs,
cushions joints, helps regulate body temperature, stores vitamins and helps the body sustain itself when food is
in short supply. But too much or too lile body fat can be damaging to our health. This is why it is useful to
measure and monitor our body fat percentage using the Acv8rlives Body Analyser.
Body fat percentage gives us a good measure of wellness when used in conjuncon with weight – if we are
aiming to lose weight, our weight loss may be caused by the lose of muscle mass rather than fat - we can sll
have a high percentage of fat even when a scale indicates ‘normal weight’.
For guidance for the Body Fat ranges for men and women, tables are supplied on Page 8.
Muscle Mass %
Knowing our muscle mass percentage is useful if we are undergoing any changes in our exercise regime or
undertaking a programme of weight loss. Lean muscle mass may decrease by nearly 50% between the ages of 20
and 90. We can replace this loss with fat if we don't maintain our exercise levels. We can also lose muscle rather
than fat if we undergo starvaon-type diets, which are not recommended. At rest, the body burns
approximately 110 addional calories for each kilo of muscle gained. So if we come o a starvaon-type diet, we
actually put on more weight as fat. Ideally we want to maintain our muscle mass % while reducing fat %,
especially visceral fat.
Visceral Fat
Visceral fat is located in our abdominal cavity (stomach area) and surrounds our vital organs. The more visceral
fat you have the greater the chance of developing insulin resistance (leading to type 2 diabetes), heart disease
and high blood pressure.
The Acv8rlives Body Analyser gives a visceral fat rang between 0 – 29.
Rang between 1 – 12: Indicates that we have a healthy level of visceral fat.
Rang between 13 – 29: Indicates that we could have excess visceral fat and we may wish to consider modifying
our diet or increasing our exercise levels.

11
What does Your Acv8rlives Body Analyser Measure?
Bone Mass %
Similar to Muscle Mass percentage, understanding changes in our Bone Mass % can be useful, especially during
weight reducon programme.
Body Mass Index (BMI)
BMI is an index of weight-for-height that is rounely used to classify underweight, overweight and obesity in adults.
The Acv8rlives Body Analyser Smart Scales calculates our BMI value for us. The BMI categories shown in the chart
on Page 10 are recognized by the WHO (World Health Organizaon) and can be used to interpret our BMI value.
The Body Analyser is not calibrated to determine the BMI for children, pregnant women or professional athletes.
Basal metabolic rate (BMR)
BMR is the amount of energy expended while at rest in a neutrally temperate environment, in the post-absorpve
state (meaning that the digesve system is inacve, which requires about twelve hours of fasng).
The release of energy in this state is sucient only for the funconing of the vital organs, such as the heart, lungs,
brain and the rest of the nervous system, liver, kidneys, sex organs, muscles and skin. BMR decreases with age and
with the loss of lean body mass. Increasing muscle mass increases BMR.
Water or Hydraon
Total Body Water (TBW) as a percentage gives us an understanding of our hydraon level. Water is a vital element
in the majority of the body’s funcons and can be found in every cell, ssue, and organ.
A healthy TBW% needs to be maintained to ensure that we are operang at maximum eciency. Hydraon levels
uctuate throughout the day, so use this measurement as a guide and not your absolute. Note that eang large
meals, drinking alcohol, menstruaon, illness, exercising and bathing may cause variaons in your hydraon level.
When starng a diet or exercise programme, it is important to stay hydrated to maximise the posive eects.
Opmal hydraon levels based on populaon data are:
Female 45-60% Male 50-65%

12
Adding the Baeries
Your Acv8rlives Body Analyser Smart Scales uses four AA 1.5V alkaline baeries, which are supplied. These are
non-rechargeable baeries and no aempt should be made to recharge these.
Open the baery compartment on the rear side of the device and insert 4 x AA baeries in the direcon indicated.
Replace the cover and the Display will illuminate. The device will go into sleep economy mode within 30 seconds if
not being used. If it is overloaded, it will also power o. Also a faulty operaon would make it power o.
Remove the baeries if you are planning to store the device for a long period of me. We hope you use your device
for many years of course, but long periods of storage with the baeries in place may damage the device and will
cause the baeries to discharge.
Replace the set of baeries (4 x 1.5V AA) in the right
direcon when the baeries are exhausted, indicated by
“LO” on the Display. No data is stored on the device in
memory, so exchange of baeries will not aect data
storage.
Cleaning and Disinfecon
It is recommended that you use a so, microber cloth for cleaning. Don’t use harsh cleaning products as these
will cause damage to your Acv8rlives Body Analyser. Don’t allow sharp objects to scratch the screen of the
LCD display or the Film as this may damage it.
Never immerse the Acv8rlives Body Analyser Smart Scales central unit in water or disinfecng soluon.
Do not use or store in places which are damp or have a high humidity (e.g. steamy bathrooms).

13
Note: Do not tamper or aempt to open the unit in which the electronics are housed,
your warranty will be invalidated. Substances contained within the baery may damage
the environment or human health if handled and there is a risk of electrical shock or
burns. When disposing of this product and its baeries, ensure that it is disposed
correctly for special treatment and not as normal household waste.
How Does the Acv8rlives Body Analyser Work?
The Acv8rlives Body Analyser Smart Scales uses a measurement principle known as Bioelectrical Impedance
Analysis (BIA). A very small electrical current is sent through your body, through your feet and legs. The current
ows with lile electrical resistance through lean muscular ssue, which is full of uid. By contrast, body fat has a
high electrical resistance—it acts as an electrical insulator. By measuring your body’s resistance to the current (its
impendence), the proporon of muscle can be calculated. From this, the quanty of fat and water can then be
esmated.
The size of the current used is only about 1 mAmp—this is a minuscule current and you will not feel it.
However, the Acv8rlives Body Analyser Smart Scales should NOT be used by those ed with a pace maker
or if you have any other electrically-operated medical device ed.
Best Time to Measure Your Body Composion
Our water content can vary at dierent mes during the day and since body fat percentage is calculated by
measuring the water content, our body fat reading can also vary throughout the day. There is no right or wrong
me of the day to take a reading, but we nd it most consistent to measure our body weight and water content
rst thing in the morning before eang or drinking and aer using the toilet. It is about making the measurement
consistent.
Taking measurements aer having a bath or sauna, or following intensive exercise, or within 1-2 hours of drinking
in quanty or eang a meal as the water content will distort the values generated.
Never aempt to take readings when you are wet, aer a shower or vigorous exercise, because of the risk of
slipping. Also the accuracy of the measurement will be distorted as the water content of the body would have
changed.
