Safety instructions
WARNING!
Risk of injury!
Failure to use the scale properly poses a sub-
stantial risk of injury.
− Do not use the scale if you rely on med-
ical implants (e.g. a pacemaker). The
voltage used for measurements in the
bioelectric impedance analysis of the
scale may interfere with the functions of
such implants.
− Do not use the scale if you are pregnant.
− Do not stand on the outer edge of one
side of the scale.

Safety
9
− Do not stand on the scale if your feet are
wet or if you have applied cream to them.
− Dry off the surface of the scale before
you use it.
− Discontinue using the scale if it exhibits
visible damages.
WARNING!
Risks associated with using batteries!
The scale is battery-operated. Improper
handling of the batteries may result in injury
and damage to property.
− Store the batteries in an area that is not
accessible for children. If you suspect
that a child has swallowed a battery,
immediately contact a physician.
− Never expose the batteries to exces-
sive heat such as direct sunlight, open
flames or similar.
− Do not charge the batteries or reactivate
them with other means.
− Do not short circuit the batteries.
− Do not open the batteries.
− To prevent the batteries from leaking, only
insert batteries of the same type in the scale.

Safety
10
− Promptly remove empty batteries from
the scale.
− Do not allow battery acid to come into
contact with skin, eyes or mucus mem-
branes. In the event of contact with bat-
tery acid, immediately flush the applica-
ble areas with plenty of clean water and
consult a physician if necessary.
− If batteries in the scale leak, use gloves
to remove them. Afterwards, clean the
battery compartment with a cloth with-
out water or any cleaners.
− If you do not use the scale for a pro-
longed period, remove the batteries
from the battery compartment.
NOTICE!
Risk of damage!
Improper use of the scale may result in
damage.
− Do not expose the scale to strong mag-
netic fields (e.g. transformers). Oth-
erwise this could cause errors in data
transmission or damage to the scale.

Checking the scale and pack contents
NOTICE!
Risk of damage!
If you are not cautious when opening the
packaging with a sharp knife or other pointed
objects, you may quickly damage the scale.
− You should therefore be very careful
when opening it.
1. Take the scale and its accessories out of the packaging.
2. Remove the packaging material.
3. Check to make sure that the delivery is complete (see fig. A).
4. Check whether the scale or the individual parts exhibit
damage. If this is the case, do not use the scale. Contact
the manufacturer at the service address specified on the
warranty card.

Scale and Crane Connect app
12
Scale and Crane Connect app
The scale is designed for weighing and for the diagnosis of
individual physical data. The data measured are transmitted
to a smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth®. 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 kg (see fig.I).
• Calculation of the basal metabolic rate “BMR” in kcal (see fig.J).
• Calculation of the active metabolic rate “AMR” in kcal.
Measurement method
From a medical standpoint, the analytical results
provided by the scale are only of an approximate
nature. Only a medical specialist is capable of per-
forming exact measurements of the percentage of
body fat, body water, muscle or bone mass using
special medical instruments.

Scale and Crane Connect app
13
The scale uses very low voltage to measure your physical 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 conductors 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 measurement is known as the “bioel-
ectric impedance analysis” (BIA).
Compatibility
The following smartphones and tablets with Bluetooth®
(Bluetooth®4.0 and higher) are compatible with the scale and
the app:
• Apple® iPhone® 4s and more recent versions
• Apple® iPad® 3rd generation and more recent versions
• Apple® iPad mini™ of the 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

Setup
14
Use without app
If you use the scale without the app, the scale
is only capable of correctly determining your
weight. Without the app all other measurements
are performed using standard 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 without the app.
In order to calculate your percentage of body fat, body water, mus-
cle 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 possible 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 resulting
measurements may differ considerably from the actual indi-
vidual values. Thus, weight will be displayed without user rec-
ognition if the app is not used. We recommend 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 polar-
ity is correct if the negative poles of the batteries are lined
up with the corresponding spring contacts in the battery
compartment.

Setup
15
5. Close the battery compartment.
6. Turn the scale over.
The reading “0.0” will appear on the display 1.
7. If nothing appears on the display, remove the batteries
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 2on carpet floors.
− Place the scale on a solid, level floor.
Affixing the carpet feet
− Place the scale on a soft base with the bottom facing up.
− 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). Scales shipped to Australia are set to
kilograms (kg). 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:
− Turn the scale on by briefly stepping on it. The display 1
will illuminate in blue and display “0.0 kg”.
− Push and hold the Reset button 5on the back of the
scale for approx. 3 seconds (see fig.A).
The reading “dEL” on the display indicates that the data is
being deleted.

Performing a measurement
For ideal, comparable measurement results,
follow the basic rules below when performing a
measurement.
− Weigh yourself when undressed, on an empty stomach
and if possible, always at the same time of day. The best
time to weigh yourself is in the morning after you have
used the toilet.
− The body fat percentage can only be measured if you are
barefoot. Ideally, your feet should be damp, but no cream
should have been applied.
Completely dry or heavily callused foot soles are not suffi-
ciently conductive and may affect the accuracy of results.
− Your feet, legs, calves and thighs must not touch during
measurement.
− When you weigh yourself after getting up, give your body
approx. 15 minutes to enable proper distribution of the
body water percentage in your body.
Proceed as follows to perform a measurement:
1. Make sure that the scale is on a solid, level floor.
2. Stand on the scale so that the soles of both feet are touch-
ing both the front and back measuring electrode 7
(see fig.C).
3. Shift your weight so that it is evenly distributed on each
foot.
4. Stand still and in an upright position during the
measurement.
Your body weight will be displayed in the preset unit of
measurement on the bottom right of the display (see fig.D).
