Scale and Crane Connect app
The scale is designed for weighing and for the diagno-
sis of individual physical data. The data measured are
transmitted to a smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth®.

14 Scale and Crane Connect app
USA
With the free Crane Connect app (hereinafter referred
to as “app”) you can save and analyse this data on your
smartphone or tablet.
The scale can record and transmit physical data for up
to eight different users. The data are only visible for the
current user and are never visible for other users.
Functions
The scale has the following functions:
• Measurement of body weight (see fig.D).
• Calculation of the body mass index “BMI” (see fig.E).
• Calculation of body fat percentage “BF” in % (see fig.F).
• Calculation of the body water percentage in %
(see fig.G).
• Calculation of muscle percentage in % (see fig.H).
• Calculation of bone mass in lb (see fig.I).
• Calculation of the basal metabolic rate “BMR” in kcal
(see fig.J).
• Calculation of the active metabolic rate “AMR” in kcal.

15Scale and Crane Connect app USA
Measurement method
NOTICE!
From a medical standpoint, the analytical
results provided by the scale are only of an
approximate nature. Only a medical special-
ist is capable of performing exact measure-
ments of the percentage of body fat, body
water, muscle or bone mass using special
medical instruments.
The scale uses very low voltage to measure your physi-
cal data. The voltage is transmitted through your body,
that is, through the different parts of your body. In the
process, the current encounters different resistances.
Water and muscle tissue have a low resistance making
them good conductors. Fat and bone are poor conduc-
tors and therefore exhibit a high resistance.
These resistances or impedances are measured and
used to calculate the percentages of water, bone and
muscle based on individual physical characteristics such
as height, age and gender. This method of measure-
ment is known as the “bioelectric impedance analysis”
(BIA).

16 Scale and Crane Connect app
USA
Compatibility
The following smartphones and tablets with Bluetooth®
Smart Ready (Bluetooth®4.0) are compatible with the
scale and app:
• Apple® iPhone® 4s and more recent versions
• Apple® iPad® 3rd generation and more recent ver-
sions
• Apple® iPad mini™ 1st generation and more recent
versions
• Apple® iPad Air™ and more recent versions
• Smartphones and tablets with Android™ 4.3 and more
recent versions
You can find a detailed list of compatible devices on the
following website:
www.cranesportsconnect.com/compatibility.
Use without app
NOTICE!
If you use the scale without the app, the
scale is only capable of correctly determin-
ing your weight. Without the app all other
measurements are performed using stan-
dard parameters and will therefore be more
or less inaccurate.
Furthermore, the measured data will not be
saved on the scale if you use the scale with-
out the app.

17Setup USA
In order to calculate your percentage of body fat, body
water, muscle mass, bone mass as well as your BMI, AMR
and BMR, the scale requires individual parameters such
as your gender, height and age. However, it is not possi-
ble to enter these parameters on the scale itself, instead
this must be done with the app or on the Crane website
(see chapter “Creating a user account”).
If these individual parameters are not entered, the re-
sulting measurements may differ considerably from the
actual individual values. Thus, weight will be displayed
without user recognition if the app is not used. We rec-
ommend using the scale in combination with the app.
Setup
Inserting batteries
1. Place the scale on a soft base with the bottom facing up.
2. Open the battery compartment 4(see fig.B).
3. Remove the protective foil from the enclosed
batteries 3.
4. Insert the batteries in the battery compartment. The
polarity is correct if the negative poles of the batteries
are lined up with the corresponding spring contacts
in the battery compartment.
5. Close the battery compartment.
6. Turn the scale over.
The reading “0.0” will appear on the display.

18 Setup
USA
7. If nothing appears on the display, remove the batter-
ies and insert them again.
Setting up the scale
In order for the measurements to be accurate, the scale
must be set up on a solid floor or on the enclosed carpet
feet:
− Use the carpet feet on carpet floors.
− Place the scale on a solid, level floor.
Affixing the carpet feet
1. Place the scale on a soft base with the bottom facing
up.
2. Stick the carpet feet 2onto the support feet 6
(see fig.A).
You can now use the scale on carpet floors.
Setting the unit of measure for weight
Scales shipped within Europe (except for Great Britain
and Ireland) are set to kilograms (kg). Scales shipped to
Great Britain, Ireland and the USA are set to pounds (lb).
You can use the app to switch the unit of measure.
Resetting the scale memory
You can reset the scale to the factory default by deleting
all data:

19Setup USA
1. Turn the scale on by briefly stepping on it. The read-
ing “0.0 lb” will then appear on the display.
2. Push and hold the Reset button 5on the back of
the scale for approx. 3 seconds (see fig.A).
3. The reading “dEL” on the display indicates that the
