INTRODUCTION

This personal ,fitness” scale uses bioelectric impedance analysis (bioimpedance) to measure the percentage of fat, muscle, bone and water content in the body.
In this measuring method, a weak electric current passes through the body, which is transmitted and subsequently received by sensors located on the surface of the scale. There are two sensors which are separated in such a way that the measuring circuit is completed when both feet are standing on the scale. This very weak current is completely safe for the human body and cannot be felt.
The actual measurement methodology is based on the fact that it is easier for electric current to pass through the liquid in our muscles than through fat.
On average the human body contains 45-85 % water, whereas muscles contain approximately 90% water and fat tissue contains approximately 45 % water.
Attenton:
For this reason the percentage sum of the individually measured values may exceed 100%.
This means that the measured percentage values of fat, muscle and water content CANNOT BE ADDED UP because both fat and muscle contain water.
With increasing age the water content in the body declines, whereas infants may have a water content in their body of up to 85 %. With increasing age the body’s proteins dehydrate and extracellular fluid is lost. For this reason, older people have a water content in their body below the 55 % level. Productive age men have an average body water content of 62% and women 56 %. The lower value for women is the result of their higher fat content.
The normal fat tissue range for men represents 10-20%. For physiological reasons, women have a fat level of 18-28%. The percentage of fat increases with age, e.q. a level of 33-35 % is tolerated in women over 50 years of age.
Measurement of muscle mass
The percentage of muscle mass in the human body is calculated on the basis of subtracting electrical resistance during measurement, where the fact that the human body contains a certain percentage of water at a certain age s used. The entered gender, age and body height help to increase the accuracy of the overall measurement process.
Measurement of fat tissue
The difference between the body weight and the measured muscle mass is used to calculate the percentage of fat tissue contained in the body. Body fat functions as an insulator (reduces the ability of electric current to pass through) and therefore cannot be calculated directly.
Measurement of water content
The percentage of water contained in the human body is calculated by subtracting electrical resistance during measurement, where the fact that electric resistance is directly proportional to the water content in the human body is used. The entered gender, age and body height help to increase the accuracy of the overall measurement process.
USER INSTRUCTIONS

Before first use

1. To ensure precise weighing, place the scale on a flat and hard surface such as a parquet floor, tiles, linoleum, etc. We do not recommend weighing on carpet.

2.  Always take off your shoes before weighing, take off your socks and wipe your feet clean.

3. We recommend checking your weight always at the same time, best in the morning after waking up. In the morning you eliminate any differences in your weight due to food intake, digestive process or physical activities.

4. The measured result may be misleading if weighing is done after intensive exercise, dieting or during extreme dehydration,

5. Stand still during measuring.

6. For the following people the measurements of body fat/water may exhibit deviation:
   « Children up to 10 years of age and adults older than 100 years (may use the scale only to determine the total weight)
   « Bodybuilders and other athletes

7. People with the following conditions should not use the product:
   « Pregnant women
   « People on dialysis
   « People with a cardiostimulator or other implants.

8.  If you will not use the scale for a long time, store it in a horizontal position. This position better protects the sensitive sensors located in the scale footings.

9.  Do not place or leave any objects on the scale that may put unnecessary stress on the sensors.

10. Strong electromagnetic fields may negatively influence the weighing precision. Do not use the scale in environments with strong magnetic fields.

11. The values for the ratio of fat/water/muscle in the body determined by this product are only an approximation (they are not intended for medical purposes). If your ratio of fatwater/muscles is above/below normal, seek advice from your doctor.

Battery Before using, please remove the insulation tape from the battery contact. Maintain polarity.
Battery Installation Open the battery compartment area on the under side of the scale

1. Using a sharp object remove the old battery – see picture.
2.  Insert the new batter by inserting one of its sides under the battery holder and pressing down the other side.

Setting up the scale

If your scale has kg/lbist available, you may choose your preferred units by pressing the conversion button.
Press the conversion button while the scale is turned off, the currently set units will be displayed on the LCD display. By pressing the button repeatedly select the desired units,
After setting the required units the scale will automatically turn off after 3 seconds. The selected unit of weight is activated as soon as you turn on the scale.

• After setting units of weight to Ib/st the default unit of height is feet/inches.
• After setting units of weight to kg the default unit of height is cm.

LCD display Description of buttons (touch buttons) Turn on the scale and go to the following parameter. (see Setting of personal parameters on page two)
Increase the value by one interval each time the button is pressed. Speed up the increase of the value by holding down the button.
Decrease the value by one interval each time the button if presie. Speed up the decrease of the value by holding down the button.
Optional normal weighing mode (excludes setting of parameters)

1. Automatic weighing after stepping on the scale
2. Sequential additional weighing
   As soon as the numbers stay on, you may increase the weight on the scale and continue weighing. To determine the new weight, each additional burden must weigh at least 2 kg.
   Example: If you wish to weigh your child, you may first weigh yourself and then take your child in your arms and weigh yourselves together. But you must not step off the scale. In this way you determine your total weight. By subtracting your previous weight from the new total weight you calculate the difference, which is the weight of your child.

Measuring fat/water/muscle mode

1. Setting of personal parameters
   After the installation of the batteries all default parameters are set as follows:Gender| Height| Age
   ---|---|---
   Male| 165 cm| 25
2. The parameters may be set in the following ranges:
   Memory| Gender| Height| Age
   ---|---|---|---
   12-Jan|  male/female|  100 – 250 cm| 10-100

Tip:

• While setting parameters you may at any time set the scale to zero by tapping on the scale with your foot or your hand. Based on the just set/modified parameters you may begin measuring fat/water/muscles.
• After completing the settings you may at any time continue by pressing the SET button again and carry out another setup of all the parameters,

Beginning measuring
To ensure accuracy, remove shoes and socks before using the scale.
Example: user 5, female, 166 cm, 26 years, may carry out measurement as follows:

Warning indicators Discharged battery indicator Batteries are discharged, insert new batteries. Overload indicator
The weight of the person being weighed exceeded the maximum capacity of the scale. Step off the scale to avoid damaging the sensors. Low fat ratio in % indicator
The ratio of fat in % is too low. Eat more nutritious food and look after yourself. High fat ratio in % indicator
The ratio of fat in % is too high. Watch your diet and exercise more. Repeated test
Error occurred, start the test to obtain the correct result.
