TBM – total body mass (bone mass,
muscle, calories):
– The user (parameter 01) is female.
– Bone mass is approx. 6.0 kg.
– Muscle mass is approx. 38.5%.
– The recommended daily calorie consumption
is 1,974 kcal.
Notes on measurements
Total body water
Water is an essential part of the body. The
amount of water in the body may vary between
45% and 60%. It helps all the essential biochemi-
cal reactions necessary for normal bodily func-
tions. Water transports waste products out of the
cells and discharges them in sweat and urine.
Water also maintains a constant body tempera-
ture. The amount of water in the body depends
on the proportion of water loss, for example due
to heat or physical activity and sweating. There-
fore, it is very important to ensure and check the
proportion of water in the body and ensure that it
remains constant.
Body fat composition
Checking the body fat composition is particularly
important. A high fat mass can lead to high
blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease
and other illnesses. The American College of
Sports Medicine have made the following recom-
mendations for body fat mass:

6While »0.0 kg« is showing in the display, care-
fully step onto the glass surface of the scale
holding the control unit in both hands.
7Stand very still on the glass surface until the
results appear one after the other in the display.
– The readings are displayed three times one
after the other. Afterwards the scales switches
off automatically.
– Once the readings have been fully displayed,
you can display them again by pressing »ı«
manually.
TBF (total body fitness):
– The user (parameter 01) is female.
– Body weight is 62 kg, height is 176 cm, age
is 28 years old.
– Body fat mass is approx. 20.4% and is
normal.
TBW (total body water):
– The user (parameter 01) is female.
– The ideal weight is 62 kg, height is 176 cm,
age is 28 years old.
– Total body water is approx. 56.5%.

Notes on operating and
cleaning
7The maximum load of the scale is 180 kg. The
following appears in the display if the maxi-
mum load is exceeded. Get off the glass sur-
face immediately.
7If the results of the analysis exceed the scale’s LC
display, then »Err« appears in the display.
Afterwards the scale switches off automatically.
7The scale and the detachable control unit
should not be more than two to three metres
apart. The signal transmission is poor from a
distance of three metres.
7The scale is equipped with an automatic off
function to preserve the battery. It switches off
automatically if the operation is interrupted for
more than 15 seconds.
7If you would like a more accurate measure-
ment, do not use the scale straight after drink-
ing coffee, beer, wine or other alcoholic bever-
ages. The same applies to heavy physical
exertion. These factors reduce the amount of
water in body tissue (dehydrogenation). Wait
a few hours in this case.
7Clean the scale and the control unit with a
damp cloth. Do not use any cleaning agents.
Do not submerge the appliances in water.
Mounting the control unit on the
wall
1Fix the bracket on the wall making sure the
raised magnet strip is facing outwards.
2Place the control unit with the magnetic recess
on the bracket’s raised magnetic strip.
