tested products for applications in the areas of heat, weight, blood pressure, body tempera-
ture, pulse, gentle therapy, massage and air.
Please read these instructions for use carefully and keep them for later use, be sure to
make them accessible to other users and observe the information they contain.
This diagnostic scale is designed to make a significant contribution to your health. The sca-
le offers the following functions for use by a maximum of 10 persons:
xMeasuring and monitoring weight.
xCalculating body fat, body water and muscle percentages, bone mass, basal metabolic
rate and active metabolic rate.
xThe diagnostic scale has an innovative display that shows the required measured value
at the press of a button.
Your scale has four basic functions:
Function Description
Weight only Weight measurement only
Complete analysis Complete measurement with automatic sequential display of all measured values
Target analysis Complete measurement, display of weight and selected measured values
Memory Retrieve stored measurements (max. 10)
With kind regards
Your Beurer team

4 Notes
Safety notes
xThe scales must not be used by persons with medical implants (e.g. heart pacemakers)
Otherwise their function could be impaired.
xDo not use during pregnancy. Measurements may be inaccurate due to amniotic fluid.
xDo not stand on the outer edge to one side of the scale otherwise it may tip!
xKeep children away from packaging materials (risk of suffocation).
Notes on handling batteries
xSwallowing batteries can be extremely dangerous. Keep the batteries and scale out of
the reach of small children. Should a child swallow a battery, seek medical assistance
immediately.
xReplace weak batteries before they discharge completely.
xBatteries must not be recharged, taken apart, thrown into an open fire or short circuited.
xAlways replace all batteries at the same time and use batteries of the same type.
xLeaking batteries may damage the device. If you do not intend to use the scale for lon-
ger periods, remove the batteries from the battery compartment.
xIf a battery has leaked, put on protective gloves and clean the battery compartment with
a dry cloth.
xBatteries can contain toxins that are harmful to health and the environment. Always
dispose of batteries in accordance with applicable legal regulations. Do not dispose of
batteries with the normal household waste.
General notes
xThe unit is for personal use only and is not intended for medical or commercial applica-
tions.
xPlease note that technically related measuring tolerances are possible, as the scale is
not calibrated for professional medical applications.
xThe capacity of the scale is 150 kg (330 lb, 24 St). For weight measurement and bone
mass measurement, the results are shown in 100 g increments (0.2 lb, 1/4 St).
xThe measuring results of the body fat, body water and muscle percentage are shown in
0.1% increments.
xOn delivery, the scale is set to "cm" and "kg". At the back of the scales is a switch to
change between "inches", "pounds" and "stones".
xPlace the scale on a firm level floor; a firm floor covering is required for correct meas-
urement.
xThe scale should be cleaned occasionally. Dirt and dust has a tendency to collect on
the rubber electrodes. Always stand on the scale barefoot or wearing socks as the rub-
ber surfaces will quickly become dirty if you wear shoes. Use a damp cloth to clean the
scale. Do not use abrasive detergents and never immerse the scale in water.
xProtect the scale against hard knocks, moisture, dust, chemicals, major temperature fluctua-
tions and heat sources which are too close (stoves, heating radiators).
xRepairs may only be carried out by Beurer customer service or authorised dealers. Be-
fore submitting any complaint, first check the batteries and replace them if necessary.
xShould you have any questions concerning the use of our scale, please contact your
dealer or customer service.
xAll scales comply with EC Directive 2004/108/EC. Should you have any questions con-
cerning the use of our scale, please contact your dealer or customer service.

5 Information
The measuring principle
This scale operates according to the B.I.A. principle (bioelectric impedance analysis). This
enables the measurement of physical relationships within seconds by means of an unde-
tectable, completely harmless electric current. The body fat percentage and other physical
relationships in the body can be determined by measuring the electrical resistance (imped-
ance) and calculating constants and individual parameters such as age, height, gender and
degree of activity.
Muscle tissue and water have good electrical conductivity, and therefore lower resistance.
Bones and fatty tissue, on the other hand, have low conductivity as fat cells and bones
conduct hardly any current as a result of their very high resistance.
Please be aware that values obtained from the diagnostic scale represent only an ap-
proximation of actual analytical medical data. Only a specialist physician can accurately
determine body fat, body water, muscle percentage and bone structure using medical pro-
cedures (e.g. computed tomography).
General tips
xIf possible, always weigh yourself at the same time of day (preferably in the morning),
after using the toilet, on an empty stomach and unclothed, in order to achieve compara-
ble results.
xImportant for the measurement: only measure body fat when barefoot and with the soles
of the feet slightly moist. Completely dry soles can result in unsatisfactory measure-
ments due to inadequate conductivity.
xStand still and upright during the measurement.
xWait a few hours after unaccustomed physical activity.
xWait approx. 15 minutes after getting up in the morning to allow the water in the body to
distribute.
xRemember that only long-term trends are important. Short-term changes in weight
within a few days are usually caused by a loss of fluid. Body water plays an important
role towards our general wellbeing.
Limitations
When measuring body fat and other values, deviating and implausible results may occur in:
xchildren under approx. 10 years,
xcompetitive athletes and body builders,
xpregnant women,
xpersons with fever, undergoing dialysis treatment or with symptoms of edema or osteo-
porosis,
xpersons taking cardiovascular medication (affecting the heart and vascular system),
xpersons taking vascular dilating or vascular constricting medication,
xpersons with considerable anatomic deviations of the legs in relation to total body size
(length of the legs considerably shortened or lengthened).
