• Please dispose if the appliance in accordance with the Directive on Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). In case of queries, please
contact the municipal authorities responsible for waste disposal in your
area.
Keep packaging materials away from children.These are a suocation risk.
Batteries are very dangerous if swallowed. Keep batteries and scale out of
reach of small children. If batteries are swallowed, seek medical help
immediately.
HOW DIAGNOSTIC SCALES WORK
This scale operates according to B.I.A (bioelectric impedance analysis). This enables
physical relationships to be measured within seconds by means of an undetectable,
completely harmless electric current. The body fat percentage and other physical
measurements of the body can be determined by measuring the electrical
resistance (impedance) and the inclusion of these in a calculation of constants and
individual parameters (age, height and gender).
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 are bone 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
approximation of actual analytical medical data. Only a specialist physician can accu-
rately determine body fat, body waster muscle percentage and bone structure using
medical procedures. This scale should only be used for trend analysis.
HOW TO WEIGH YOURSELF CORRECTLY
If possible, always weigh yourself at the same time of day (ideally in the morning),
after going to the toilet, on an empty stomach and without clothes to achieve
comparable results. Wait approximately 15 minutes after getting up in the morning
to allow the water in the body to distribute.
GENERAL
For diagnostic measurement purposes, body fat can only be measured
when barefoot and with the soles of the feet slightly moist.
Completely dry soles can result in unsatisfactory measurements due to
inadequate conductivity.
Stand still during the measurement.
Wait a few hours after abnormal strenuous activity.
