BODY COMPOSITION SCALE WITH BODY WATER
and MUSCLE MASS ESTIMATION
This body composition scale is designed and manufactured in a facility certified ISO
9001 Quality, ISO1 4001 Environment, OHSAS 18001 Health and Safety Management
Systems and ISO13485 Medical Devices Quality Management System. The scale
uses the method of Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) to estimate body fat,
total body water and muscle mass percentage. It sends a harmless amount of
electricity into the body, then estimates from the measured impedance of the
body the percentage of body fat, the percentage of total body water and muscle
mass percentage. The body composition scale is also equipped with an “Athlete
Mode" for athletes whose body build is different from non-athletes.

This scale is intended to measure body weight and impedance and
estimate percentage of body fat, body water and muscle mass using BIA
(Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis). It is intended for use by healthy
children 10-17 years old and healthy adults with active, moderately
active, to inactive lifestyles for body composition assessment in the home
environment.
• This product is intended for adults and children (ages 10 to 85).
• The Athlete Mode is only available for those 15-85 years of age.
• Make sure to use only the type of battery stated (see Section
"PREPARATION BEFORE USE”).
• Body fat percentage estimates will vary with the amount of water in the
body, and can be affected by dehydration or over-hydration due to
such factors as alcohol consumption, menstruation, illness, intense
exercise, etc.
• Do not use on pregnant women. The result is inaccurate and effects on
the fetus are unknown.
• For body fat, body water and muscle mass percentage estimates,
always estimate in bare feet.
• Changes value of height and age, toggle between Male and Female,
toggle between Normal and Athlete mode in Body Fat function
• Select memory P0 - P3 in Memory mode
• Fast recall of memory locations

This scale operates on 1 CR2032 lithium battery
(included). Remove any screws and open the battery
cover on the back of the scale unit. Take care when
removing and replacing the battery door screw.
Do not turn the screw in the wrong direction or over tighten it as this may strip the
screw threads in the plastic battery door. Remove the plastic strip for first use or
insert a new battery for replacement. Be sure the polarity of the battery is set
correctly for the scale to function properly. If you do not intend to use this unit for a
prolonged period of time, it is advisable to remove the battery before storing.
Slide Switch (Available on unit
conversion model only)
-kg/cm and Ib/in
Adjust the conversion switch located at the bottom of the scale to change
the measuring unit between kg/cm and Ib/in.
User selectable unit: kg/cm or Ib/in.
This scale is set to pounds. You can set the “kg/cm and Ib/in" unit of measure
switch located on the back of the scale for kilograms or pounds.

you are standing still on the scale and maintaining maximum contact between
your feet and the metal contacts. If not, please refer to “Operation” section. You
may need to moisten your feet to improve the electrical contact.

NOTE: Please recycle or dispose of batteries per local regulations.
WARNING: Batteries may pose a choking hazard. As with all small items, do not let
children handle batteries. If swallowed, seek medical attention immediately.
PRECAUTION: Do not dispose of batteries in fire. Batteries may explode or leak.
Remove the battery if the scale will not be used for a long period of time.
Different body composition scales take estimations around different parts of the
body and use different mathematic algorithums to estimate the precentage of
body fat. The best advice is not to make comparisons from one device to
another, but to use the same device each time to monitor and change.

5. Why is the Athlete Mode necessary in a Body Composition Scale?
It has been found that body fat estimation using BIA could overestimate the
percentage body fat of adult elite athletes. The physiological variation of
athletes in bone density and level of hydration are two of the reasons said to
account for the difference. The Athlete mode is selectable only for people 15
years of age or older.
6. Defi nition of an Athlete
The general consensus among researchers is that a quantitative dimension
could be used in defi ning an athlete. For example, an athlete could be defi ned
as a person who consistently trains a minimum of three times per week for two
hours each time, in order to improve specifi c skills required in the performance
of their specifi c sport and/or activity.
7. What is Muscle Mass?
Our Body Composition Scale estimates the weight of Skeletal Muscle Mass in your body.
You have around 650 muscles in your body, and they make up roughly half of
your body weight. These muscles can be divided into three different groups:
skeletal, smooth and cardiac. All of these muscles can stretch and contract, but
they perform very different functions.
Skeletal muscle: Produces movement, maintains posture, stabilizes joints and
generates heat
Smooth muscle: Found in the walls of hollow organs
Cardiac muscle: Exists only in your heart
Skeletal muscle
The tissue most commonly thought of as muscle is skeletal muscle. Skeletal
muscles cover your skeleton, giving your body its shape. They are attached to
your skeleton by strong, springy tendons or are directly connected to rough
patches of bone. Skeletal muscles are under voluntary control, which means
you consciously control what they do.
Just about all body movement, from walking to nodding your head, is
caused by skeletal muscle contraction. Your skeletal muscles function
almost continuously to maintain your posture, making one tiny adjustment
after another to keep your body upright. Skeletal muscle is also important
for holding your bones in the correct position and prevents your joints from
dislocating. Some skeletal muscles in your face are directly attached to your
skin. The slightest contraction of one of these muscles changes your facial
expression.
Skeletal muscle generates heat as a by-product of muscle activity. This heat is
vital for maintaining your normal body temperature.
Skeletal muscle represents approximately 30% of body weight of a healthy
127.8 lb woman or 40% of a 154.3 lb man. (International Commission on
Radiological Protection, 1975)
