GENERAL INFORMATION
Why is knowledge of your weight important?
Overweight or underweight is an important indicator of your health. Overweight
can increase the risk of some forms of cancer, heart diseases, diabetes,
stroke, high blood pressure, arthritis, gall bladder disorders, apnoea and
other diseases. Underweight brings with it risks, such as reduced immune
system, osteoporosis, females can suffer from amenorrhea which causes
infertility etc.
Obese people who want to lose weight and very thin people who want to gain
weight should consult the treatment method and the diet with their attending
physician.
For fat analysis it is essential:
- to wait approx. 15 minutes after getting up from bed because water in our body can be spread out.
- rest for a few hours (approx. 6-8) after an unusual exhausting activity.
The fat analysis will not provide useful information to children below 10 and
adults over 85 years of age; persons with fever; after undergoing dialysis;
persons with osteoporosis syndromes or persons who use cardiovascular
medicaments; pregnant women; athletes who have a lot of musculature; because
their results may be distorted.
Obese people who want to lose weight and very thin people who want to gain
weight should consult their diet with their doctor.
Why is it important to know what the value of fat and water in your
organism is?
Obesity (excessive amount of body fat) is a known risk for people‘s health
that is closely connected with serious diseases such as high blood-pressure,
heart diseases, diabetes, osteoarthritis and some forms of cancer. There are
other, less frequent symptoms, which may be caused by obesity, such as
temporary suspension of breathing during sleep and tiredness during the day.
An analysis of percentage ratio of body fat or your body composition is an
effective way of assessing the level of your health. The contents of water in
organism is a sign of good health. If the weight is not changing and the TBW %
value (total contents of water in organism) is increasing, it means that the
musculature in body is increasing (which is good for health). If the TBW %
value is decreasing, it means decreasing of musculature and increasing of fat
or it may indicate improper distribution of water in organism or some
potential diseases relating to lack of water in the organism. In general, the
more musculature, the higher the content of water in body.
How does the scale work?
The fat monitor uses the method of body composition analysis, BIA (short for
bioelectric impedance analysis). BIA measures the resistance that is directly
proportional to the fat in the body while the current flow is weak and
harmless. Source electrodes let the current in on one side and detection
electrodes detect this current on the other. For the purpose of analysis, data
from the BIA appliance, such as sex, age and height, are subsequently inserted
into a software program. The weight and body fat are calculated automatically.
You will then find the percentage of fat and water in the body that is
displayed in one of the ranges in the Reference table (p. 21) and find out
which group you fall into. The accuracy of the scale depends on several
variables of the user. We recommend making the weighing a routine, always
weigh yourself approximately at the same time of the day and under same
conditions.
Important notes:
- This scale requires you to weigh yourself barefoot for the reason of correct conductivity during the body fat analysis.
- Do not place the scale on an uneven surface or a surface covered with a carpet.
- Do not use the fat analysis feature on this scale if you are using one of the following devices: pace maker, electrocardiograph and/or other medical device implanted in the body or device used as support.
- Excessive drinking, eating, exercising, health conditions, used medicaments, women‘s menstruation cycle etc. influence the results of the analysis.
PREPARATION FOR USE
Remove all the packing material and take the scale out. Remove all possible adhesion foils, stick-on labels or paper from the scale. Open the battery cover on the bottom of the scale, insert the battery with the correct polarity and close the cover in the opposite direction. Place the scale on flat, stable and dry surface. Switch on the scale by tapping on the board of the scale with your foot and check the displayed weight unit (kg). If you wish to set unit to st or lb, adjust the switch on the bottom of the scale (or cm ↔ FT;In) (Fig. 2). Then put the scale of firm and flat surface (see par. I. SAFETY WARNINGS) Fig. 3.
- st = stone (American weight unit)
- kg = kilogram
- lb = pound (British weight unit)
- FT;In = feet;inches
- 1 st = 6,356 kg
- 1 kg = 2.2 lb
- 1 lb = 0.454 kg
- 1 FT = 30.48 cm; 1 In = 2,54 cm
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Your scale is fine electronic equipment. One of the things that are most difficult to weigh is human body as it is always in motion. If you want to obtain reliable results, always try to step with your feet at the same place on the scale and stand still (Fig. 1). If possible, weigh yourself at the same time of a day (preferably in the morning) to obtain comparable results. Remember that excessive clothes can increase your weight as well as eating and drinking before weighing. Short-term weight fluctuation is generally attributed to loss of liquids.
Weighing
Turn the scale on with the SET button, where you can set individual
characteristics of a person. You may also directly step on the scale (Fig. 4).
After a moment, the measured weight flashes and the value remains displayed for several seconds (Fig. 5). Then the scale are switched off automatically.
Setting of personal data for the body fat and water analysis
Before the first analysis, it is necessary to put in personal data (sex, age
and height) which will be saved to the memory. It is possible to save data of
10 persons in the scale‘s memory.
-
Press the SET button Number of memory will start the flash on the display (e.g. P1).
-
Select the number of the memory (with button ) to which you want to save the data for the person to be weighed.
Confirm by pressing the SET button. -
Set your sex with the or button: male / female Confirm by pressing the SET button.
-
Set your age with the button (Age) Confirm by pressing the SET button.
-
Set your height with the button (you can change cm ↔ FT;In). Confirm by pressing the SET button.
Now all the personal data is saved. Stand on the scale and wait for results.
The following data will start to show after a few seconds: -
Body fat contents in % (FAT)
Body water contents in % (TBW) -
Musculature contents in % (MUS)
Bone weight contents in % (BONE)
Notice
There must not be a contact between feet, calves or thighs. Otherwise the measurement could be inaccurate.
For a repeated analysis of body characteristics (after saving the input data of the person to the memory – e.g. P1), proceed as follows:
-
Press SET
-
Choose the number of memory with the button where your setting is saved.
-
Do not press anything after selecting the respective number of memory. Step on the scale and your weight and bodily characteristics will begin to be analyzed.
The results of measuring bones’ weight and muscular proportions are simply tentative. Healthy man has approximately 40% of muscular proportion and healthy woman has 30% according to an average ratio. Women´s weight of bones is among 2,5 – 5 kg and men´s weight of bones is among 3 – 6 kg but it depends on many relevant factors.- Underweight indicator (on scale): –
- Normal weight indicator (on scale): o
- Overweight indicator (on scale): +
- Obesity indicator (on scale): ++
For the reason of differences between people, this table is only informative. Always consult your attending physician if any measuring results are abnormal.
Note
The scale is switched on automatically if you do not step on it within approx. 30 seconds after „0.0“ is displayed.
Replacing batteries
Open the battery cover on the bottom of the scale. Insert a battery with the
right polarity and close the cover. Use AAA batteries (2 pcs) for this
appliance. If you are not using the appliance for some time, take the
batteries out!
Note
Do not use different type of batteries: Do not use used and new batteries
together.
