Thank you for your decision to purchase this high-quality body analyser scale. Please
peruse
read this instruction manual prior to first start up and keep this user instruction
careful to
have this information on hand whenever it is needed.
1. How does the body analyser work?
Through this new revolutionary scale, you will be able to get information about your body
composition with reference to your weight, body fat %, body water %, muscle mass %
and bone mass. First of all, you have to enter once your personal data like body height,
age, and gender under your selected personal memory location. Afterwards a
measurement is as simple as on a normal bathroom scale. You have only to push your
personal memory location, step on the scale and within a few seconds, your measured
values will be indicated. The analysis is based on the measurement of the body's
electrical resistance. Alow,
safe electrical signal passes freely through fluids contained in
lean tissue, such as muscle and blood, but meets resistance passing through fat tissue.
The body analysers accurately measure the resistance and with reference to your
personal data, use it to calculate elements of body composition.
2. Conditions to use
If possible, the measurement should be done undressed and always barefoot.
By nature, abody is subject of fluctuations (for example loss of water after taking
exercise or after a sauna visit, after a meal, etc.). To enable comparable readings it is
important to take the measurements as possible always under the same conditions.
In order to ensure that the results of analysis are accurate and consistent, please keep
the measurement conditions constant always at the same daytime. In the morning,
directly after you've woken
up, your body will be dehydrated and also the majority of fluid
will be stored in the central trunk area. This means that the resistance is relatively high
because of the poor conductivity
in the body. By intensify moving during the day
progresses
the fluid becomes more evenly distributed through the limbs and increasing
the accuracy of the readings. To get arealistic result it IS important to take your readings
at
the same time and under the same conditions every day. The easiest way to stick the
rule, measure always in the morning, 15 minutes after you've got up, either before or
after you've gone
to the bathroom.
In spite of avery low electrical signal, this body analyzer is not suitable for persons
with
hea rt pacemaker or other electronic medical implants! There is no risk for
persons with none electronic implant for instance a titanium plate in the knee. However,
metal conducts the electric current extremely well and therefore the scale implicates the
body fat value "beautified" -means the actual body fat value is higher as indicated.
However, tendencies may be determined as well.
Due to menstrual cycle and hormonal changes women experience greater changes in
their hydration level. Retaining fluid may cause the weight to fluctuate day-to-day. This
will also affect the body fat percentage readings. If the hydration level is high, the body

fat percentage is slightly less - a less hydration level means the body fat percentage is
slightly higher.
There is no healthy risk for pregnancy. The body analyzer is absolutely safe for the mother
and her unborn baby. However, due to
the changes in water content in the mother's
body,
the readings should not be interpreted as completely accurate.
ADE Germany takes no responsibility for any damages or losses caused by the use of this
body analyzer
scale or for Third Party claims. This product is excluslve~ intended for
private use. This product is not designed for commercial or professional use in hospitals or
other medical facilities.

weight.
4. Programming /Enter of personal data
Before first time use your personal data like gender (female or male, sports or no sports),
body height and age must be programmed and saved under selected locations
P1 -P8
(up to 8persons). The enter keys are located below the display. To enter your personal

5. Weighing function (weight measurement only)
1. Switch on the scale by using the step-on-function. Just step on the scale. Remain
stationary on the weighing platform and do not hold you tight. After afew seconds,
your weight will
be disp",yed.
2. Step off the seale after weighing. The seale will switch off automatical~ after afew
seconds.

into the measuring mode and starts the body analysing.

6. Body Analysis
An analysis is only possible in bare feet. Your personal data must be entered first (please
see page 4).
1. The scale contains astep-an-function and an automatic user recognition. Carefully
step on the stain"ss steel points (measuring units) ofthe
seale in bare feet and remain
stational)l. User recognition:
If the scale cannot automatically recognise the user, the
display will indicate the next both most similar memol)l locations e.g. "P1 P2". Please
select your personal memol)l location (where your personal data are stored) by using
the ... or ., key and remain stational)l on the scale.
2. At first, your weight will be indicated on the display. Shortly after, while the analysis is
taking place, the signal "0" starts to move twice on the display from left to right. After
completion of
the measurement, your measured values will be shown as follows:
1. Your body fat in %
2. Your body water in %
3. Your muscle mass in %
4. Your bone mass in kg
Afterwards your measured values (weight, bocly fat, body water, muscle mass and bone
mass) will be shown
in changes successively 3times.
EXAMPLE:
1111111111
Weight Measuring process Bocly Fat Bocly Water Muscle Mass
When you once used the
sea .. ,you will be able to get the readings of your last
measurement. This function allows you to follow the changes between your
measurements.
For that press the ... or ., button and choose your personal location. Now
the display indicates in changes successively the measured values of your last
measurement.
The bocly fat content is shown as the amount of stored fat as apercentage of total body
weight.
There is no generally accepted set value as this varies significantly according to
gender
(due to the different build) and age. Bocly fat is vital for basic body functions. It's
protecting organs, cushioning joints, regulating body temperature, storing vitamins and
serves
the body as energy storage. As essential for women aminimum body fat
proportion between 10% and 13% and for men between 10% and
13% is requested .
with
the exception of competitive athletes.

Asignificant part of the human body consists of body water. This body water is
differently distributed throughout the whole body. Lean muscle tissue contains approx.
75% body water, blood approx. 83% body water, body fat approx. 25% body water and
bones have awater content of about 22%.
The average total body water percentage range for healthy men
is between 50 -65%.
The equivalent
val...., for women is approximately 45 -60% due to the higher body fat
content. About two third of the total body water
is stored in the cells and is therefore
called intra cellular.
The other third of the total body water is extra cellular body water.
