Should you have any questions concerning the use of this scale, please contact customer service at
1-800-536-0366.
4. The measuring principle
This scale operates according to the B.I.A. principle (bioelectric impedance analysis). This enables the mea-
surement of physical relationships within seconds by means of an unnoticeable and harmless signal from
the conductors in the scale. The body fat percentage and other physical relationships in the body can be
determined by measuring the electrical resistance (impedance) and calculating constants and individual
parameters such as age, height, gender, weight and degree of physical activity.
Muscle tissue and water have good electrical conductivity, and therefore lower resistance. Fatty tissue, on
the other hand, has low conductivity as fat cells hold a lower water content than muscles.

Tips for using the scale
Place the scale on a hard, plane level floor (no carpet); a firm floor covering is required for correct measure- –
ment.
I – f possible, always weigh yourself at the same time of day (preferably in the morning) striving for compa-
rable conditions such as after using the toilet, on an empty stomach and unclothed, in order to achieve
comparable results.
S – tand still and upright during the measurement.
W – ait a few hours after unaccustomed physical activity.
W – ait approx. 15 minutes after getting up in the morning to allow the water in the body to distribute.
R – emember 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 well-being.
Important when measuring body fat/body water/muscle percentage:
T – he measurement may only be carried out while barefoot. Dry soles or callused skin can result in unsat-
isfactory results, as they have insufficient conductivity.
Y – our feet, legs, calves and thighs must not touch each other, as otherwise the measurement cannot be
performed correctly.
7. Limitations
When measuring body fat and other values, deviating and implausible results may occur in:
g – rowing children under 10,
c – ompetitive athletes and body builders,
p – ost menopausal women,
p – eople with fever, undergoing dialysis treatment or with symptoms of edema or osteoporosis,

M• ake sure that you enter the desired unit of mass regarding the weight results.
A• lways consult your physician to determine what will be suitable for you.
Body fat
The following body fat percentages are guide values (contact your physician for further information).
A lower value is often found in athletes. Depending on the type of sports, training intensity and physical con-
stitution, values may result which are below the recommended values stated. It should, however, be noted
that there could be a danger to health in the case of extremely low values.

based on: “Principles + Labs for Physical Fitness and Wellness. 1st edition, Copyright 1999”
Body water
According to the World Health Organization (WHO 2001), the percentage of body water should normally
lie within the following ranges:
Women: 50 – 55 %
Men: 60 – 65 %
Children: 65 –75 %
Body fat contains relatively little water. Therefore people with a high body fat percentage have body water
percentages below the recommended values. With endurance athletes, however, the recommended values
could be exceeded due to low fat percentages and high muscle percentage.
This scale is unsuitable for measuring body water in order to draw medical conclusions concerning age-
related water retention, for example. If necessary ask your physician. Basically, a high body water percent-
age should be the aim.
Muscle percentage
As the percentage of muscle differs from individual to individual, there are no generally valid guidelines.
9. Results in relation to time
Note:
Remember that only long-term trends are important. Short-term fluctuations in weight over a few days are
usually the result of fluid change, due to fluid intake or loss.
The interpretation of the results will depend on changes in your overall weight and body fat, body water and
muscle percentages, as well as on the period during which these changes take place. Sudden changes within
days must be distinguished from medium term changes (over weeks) and long term changes (months).

11
A basic rule is that short term changes in weight almost exclusively represent changes in water content,
whereas medium and long term changes may also involve the fat and muscle percentages.
I• f your weight reduces over the short term, but your body fat percentage increases or remains the same,
you have merely lost water – e.g. after a training session, sauna session or a diet restricted only to rapid
weight loss.
I• f your weight increases over the medium term and the body fat percentage falls or stays the same, then
you could have built up valuable muscle mass.
I• f your weight and body fat percentage fall simultaneously, then your diet is working – you are losing fat
mass.
I • deally you should support your diet with physical activity, fitness or power training. This way you can
increase your muscle percentage over the medium term.
B• ody fat, body water or muscle percentages should not be added (certain elements of muscle tissue also
contain body water).
10. Troubleshooting

Notas generales:
L• a capacidad de la báscula es 330 lb (150 kg, 24 st).
P• ara la medición de peso, los resultados se muestran en incrementos de 0,2 lb (100 g, 0,01 st).
Los resultados de mediciones del porcentaje de grasa corporal, agua corporal y muscular se muestran en •
incrementos de 0,1 %.
S• e pueden preestablecer edades de 10 a 100 años y ajustes de estatura de 39” a 87” (100 a 220 cm).
C• uando se entrega, la báscula está configurada en „inch“ (pulgada) y „lb“ (libra). Hacia la parte posterior
de la báscula hay un botón con el que puede seleccionar „libra“ „stone“ y „kilogramo“ (lb, st, kg).
Si tiene alguna pregunta relacionada con el uso de esta báscula, llame al servicio al cliente al teléfono
1-800-536-0366.
4. El principio de medición
Esta báscula funciona según el principio de Análisis de Impedancia Bioeléctrica o A.I.B. Esto permite la
medición de relaciones físicas en unos cuantos segundos por medio de una señal imperceptible e inocua
desde los conductores en la báscula. El porcentaje de grasa corporal y otras relaciones físicas en el cuerpo
pueden determinarse al medir la resistencia eléctrica (impedancia) y calcular constantes y parámetros indi-
viduales como edad, estatura, peso y grado de actividad física.
El tejido muscular y el agua tienen buena conductividad eléctrica, y por lo tanto menor resistencia. El tejido
graso, por otra parte, tiene baja conductividad, ya que las células grasas retienen un contenido de agua
menor que los músculos.
