Summary
Please read this manual carefully before you use your new device so that you do not injure
yourself or others, or cause damage to your new device through improper use.
The Acv8rlives Body Analyser Bluetooth 4.0 smart scales determines your weight and
your visceral fat index. In addion to calculang your Body Mass Index (BMI) and Basal
Metabolic Rate (BMR), it calculates your percentage of muscle, fat and water, so that you
can see whether your exercise or weight loss programme is removing fat (good) or losing
muscle (bad), allowing you to monitor and adjust your regime.
It sends informaon to your private personal Acv8rlives account via your Bluetooth 4.0
enabled Smartphone or Tablet (not included) so that you can see how well you are doing
and keep track of your health and wellbeing. You can stay commied to your goals by
forming groups with other members of your family, club, school or by joining our online
communies. By working together in groups, we are more successful in achieving our
health goals. Acv8rlives is designed to help you achieve this.
The Acv8rlives Body Analyser Bluetooth 4.0 helps you understand how your body compo-
sion can change throughout the week, during periods of ill health or as you change your
food intake and acvity levels.
When used with the Acv8rlives website, this device will help you to work out how close to
your target values you are at any given me. This Instrucon Manual shows you how to
quickly set-up your Acv8rlives Body Analyser — it will take just 5 minutes if you follow
this guide through.
Included is the FREE Acv8rlives Smartphone App and website, which also tracks your food
intake via our photo-based Food Diary and these images are sent directly to your Free
Acv8rlives account. Your acvity, body composion and food intake can then all be
viewed on a single page. Talk about cause and eect—very powerful.

 Take precauons when handling all baery types and dispose of baeries properly.
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.
Only use the baery type recommended in this manual. Do not touch the exposed
electronic circuits, as there is a danger of electric shock.
 When disposing of this product, ensure that it is collected separately for special
treatment and not as normal household waste.

DISPLAY (LCD)
FILM—place feet on these surfaces

Adding the Baeries
Your Acv8rlives Body Analyser Bluetooth 4.0
uses four AA baeries, which are supplied.
These are non-rechargeable baeries and no
aempt should be made to recharge these.
Remove the back cover and add the
4 x AA baeries in the direcon indicated.
Replace the cover. The Display should light up
now when you press on the glass surface of
the scales.
If not used, it will power o aer about 10
seconds. 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 AA) in the
right direcon when the baery sign on the
Display is shown as low.
Note: Do not tamper or aempt to open the unit in which the baery is
housed, your warranty will be invalidated. Substances contained within the
baery may damage the environment or human health if handled and
there may be a risk of electrical shock or burns. When disposing of this
product, ensure that it is collected separately for special treatment and not
as normal household waste.

How does the Acv8rlives Body Analyser
Bluetooth 4.0 work?
The Acv8rlives Body Analyser Bluetooth 4.0 uses a measurement principle known as
Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA). A very small 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 mA—this is a minuscule current and you
will not feel it. However, the Acv8rlives Body Analyser Bluetooth 4.0 should NOT be
used by those ed with a pace maker or if you have any other electrically-operated
medical device ed.
The 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 measurement 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 is going to distort the values
generated.
Never aempt to take readings when you are wet, aer a shower or vigorous
exercise.
Make sure that your Acv8rlives Body Analyser Bluetooth 4.0 is placed on a level,
hard surface.
DO NOT aempt to use the Acv8rlives Body Analyser Bluetooth 4.0 on a carpeted
surface—erroneous values will be generated.

Reading the Data from
the Body Analyser
As the Acv8rlives Body Analyser Bluetooth
4.0 Smart Scales use Bioelectrical Impedance
Analysis (BIA), a very small current is sent
through your body, through your feet and
legs. Therefore, you must remove socks and
foot are prior to stepping on to the Smart
Scales.
The scales will detect if you are wearing
socks or when your feet are too dry to make
a connecon and the Acv8rlives App will
show this symbol
If you have very dry feet and in parcular dry
and cracked heels, the Body Analyser may
also not be able to take a reading. Try
moistening your feet with a damp ssue or
cloth or exfoliang and take another
reading.
Never aempt to take readings when you
are wet aer a shower/bath or sauna/steam
room or aer vigorous exercise.
A summary of your data is then displayed on
the App screen, and the Display of the smart
scales.
Easy! No buons, no programming and you
can use this for all the members of the
family who can each have their own
Acv8rlives account.
