Introduction
With the Body Balance you are making a crucial
contribution to your health. These electronic body
analysis scale have the following functions:
With the help of your personal data and the
recommendations of health and body compositi-
on experts, Body Balance tells you your condition
regarding weight, proportions of fat, water and
muscle in your body and your energy
consumption.
Individual assessment of the analysis result with
personal recommendations on what to do.
Optional display of the trends of weight, propor-
tion of fat, water and muscle in the body and
energy consumption in time intervals of days,
weeks or months for each standard range.
Separate radio controlled terminal with a
range of 3 metres.
8-person memory with automatic person
recognition
Important advice
We recommend that you consult a doctor if you are
overweight and are trying to reduce your weight, or
if you are underweight and are trying to put on
weight. Treatment and diet should only take place in
consultation with your doctor.
Recommendations on exercise programs or weight
loss diets, on the basis of the values determined,
should be provided by your doctor
or certified health professional. Do not try to
interpret the data yourself.
SOEHNLE will not be liable for damage or loss
caused by the Body Balance or for third party claims.
This product is intended for personal home use
only. It is not designed for professional use in
hospitals or medical facilities.
Not suitable for people with electronic
implants, such as pacemakers, etc.
Installing Batteries

Installation
➀Place the scale level and on a firm surface for all
measurements.
Danger! Risk of slipping
if surface is wet.
➁The operator terminal may optionally be held in
the hand, placed on a table, remain on the scale
or be hung on the wall. When fixing the magne-
tic wall bracket to a solid, smooth, dry and dust-
and grease-free base it is sufficient for you to
put the wall bracket into the oval slot on the
back of the operator terminal. Then remove the
tape over the adhesive patch and press the ope-
rator terminal to the fixing position horizontally
at eye level.
With tiles or a rough surface, no guarantee can
be given of the length of life of the adhesion.
You should therefore screw the wall bracket in
place.
To do this remove the cover from the magnetic
wall bracket by inserting a fingernail or a knife-
point under the slot and levering off the cover.
Then drill 2 holes in the wall at a distance of
2 cm horizontally from each other. The drill size is
dependent on whether you need to use wall
plugs. Then screw in and press cover back in. Put
the operator terminal on the magnetic bracket.
➂Option to change country-specific settings bet-
ween kg/cm and lb/in or st/in.
Depending on the choice of unit of weight, you
can switch back to the clock mode with the
key.
➃The operator terminal and the scale
are in radio contact. Radio-aided computer
components, HIFI components or radio-control-
led toys may cause an operational error (see
error messages).

Data input
To use the Soehnle Body Balance correctly, the per-
sonal data for each person need to be input into the
operator terminal and you should then immediate-
ly step on the scale barefoot.
If weight is placed on the scale during input,
then they immediately switch – as long as
there is radio contact between the operator
terminal and the scale – to the weighing and
analysis mode and they cannot be used again
until the scale has switched back to the clock
mode (20 sec. after the weight is removed
from the scale).
➀ Start data input () and confirm ().
If anyone’s data is already stored, you must select
the “NEW” display with the
▼/▲ keys and con-
firm with ().
➁Select memory (P1 ... P8) (▼ = down,
▲= up) and confirm ().
➂ Input height (▼ = down, ▲= up) and confirm
().
➃Input age (▼ = down, ▲= up) and confirm
().
➄Select sex ( ▼ =männlich, ▲ = weiblich) and
confirm
().
➅Input desired activity level
(▼ = down, ▲= up) and confirm ().
This level is required for determining energy
consumption.

➆Input the desired period for the trend display (day,
week or month)
(▼ = down, ▲= up) and
confirm
().
We recommend selecting a daily trend to
start with because otherwise the first
measurement value will not be shown in the
trend display until after a week or a month.
➇Confirm “OK” ()and, as soon as 0.0 flashes
and the bar display is operating, step on the
scale barefoot.
If the input data are to be changed again
before the first analysis, you can jump
back to height with the
▼ / ▲ keys.
The first measurement is indispensable for
storing the data for later automatic person
recognition. If you dont step on the scale the
message “ERROR” appears in the display and
the data input must be repeated.
.After you have stepped on the scale, the first
body analysis will be performed as described on
the following pages.
The scale has a time-out mode. It switches back
to the time after about 40 seconds if the keys are
not touched.
Data is retained even when batteries are
changed.
Body analysis
Analysis is only possible barefoot.
Personal data must have been input in
advance. For meaningful results, step on
the scale unclothed whenever possible
and always under the same conditions.
➀Step on the scale. Your weight is then displayed
and, as long as the display lasts (~5 sec.), so is a
bar display. Hold still until the analysis is
completed.
➁After automatic personal recognition the display
once more shows the body weight, the proportions
of fat ( ), water ( ), and musceles ( ) in the
body and the energy consumption (kcal).
The normal range of the relevant person lies in the
3 middle sections of the bar display.

Then a personal action recommendation is
displayed.
Meaning of the symbols:
+You should drink more!
+Muscle-building training is recommended!
+Change of diet is recommended!
Your analysis figures are fine!
➂Step off the scale. The scale switch off automatically.
In rare cases, automatic assignment to a personal
memory is not possible. The memories of the people
who cannot be distinguished are displayed. Since the
measurement has already been taken, you can step off
the scale and confirm your personal memory with the
key located below it (
▼ or ▲ ) .
Then body weight, the proportions of fat, water and
muscle in the body and calorie requirements are
displayed.
Please note that only your body weight can be deter-
mined and no body analysis can be performed if you
step on the scale in shoes or socks! The values are
not entered into the trend analysis.
A luxury feature of this body analysis scale product is
automatic personal recognition. Recognition is achie-
ved mainly by body weight. In the event of changes
of over ±3kgbetween individual measurements,
automatic identification is no longer possible and the
measurement cannot be assigned to any trend
graph. This may be the case if you do not step on the
scale for several days (e.g. holiday) or you weigh
yourself in clothing of different weights.
Please therefore observe the following rules whene-
ver possible:
- Weigh yourself daily.
- Preferably always under the same conditions and
at the same time of day. For example, in the
morning after getting up, on an empty stomach
and nude.
- If you weigh yourself dressed, then ensure that
the weight of the clothing itself is always very
similar since the results will otherwise be false.

Changing personal data (SET)
If for instance:
- age is increased by one year (birthday),
- height changes (children in the growth phase)
- the activity level type is changed, then proceed as
follows:
➀ Start data input ().
➁Select memory (P1 ... P8) with the ▼ / ▲ keys
and confirm with ().
➂ “ Set” with ▼ / ▲ keys and confirm with ().
Then you can change the desired data as already
described under “Data input”. After confirmation
with “OK” your new data are stored. The changed
data will be taken into account from the next analy-
sis onwards.
Deleting personal data (DEL)
If data for a person – together with the trend history
– are to be completely deleted, then proceed as fol-
lows:
➀ Start data input ().
➁Select memory (P1 ... P8) with the ▼ / ▲ keys
and confirm with ().
➂ Select “DEL” with the ▼ / ▲ keys and confirm
with ().
A question will be asked for security purposes.
Pressing the
▲ key deletes this person’s
entire data beyond recovery.
The memory can be reused. Quit the deletion
procedure by pressing the
▼ key and the data
will be retained.

Please use the scale regularly so that the
graph shows the most accurate trend possi-
ble.
59 values are shown in the trend graph, assuming a
corresponding number of measurements is availa-
ble. In the event of several measurements in one
day, a single average value will be stored. 7 daily
values give one weekly average value. 30 daily
values give the monthly average value.
The value stated after “max” or “min” corresponds
to the maximum or minimum value in the graph
rounded up or down to the nearest whole figure.
The normal range calculated for each person is
shown in the trend display by the area between the
boundary lines.
If a boundary line for the normal range relative to
the trend graph lies outside the display area, then
the relevant boundary line is displayed right at the
edge.
