GENERAL INFORMATION

Why is knowledge of your weight important?
Overweight or underweight is an important indicator of your health. Being 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 80 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 musculatures; 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 (an 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 the percentage ratio of body fat or your body composition is an effective way of assessing the level of your health. The contents of the water in an organism is a sign of good health. If the weight is not changing and the TBW % value (total contents of the water in an organism) is increasing, it means that the musculature in the body is increasing (which is good for health). If the TBW % value is decreasing, it means decreasing of musculature and an increase of fat or it may indicate the improper distribution of water in an 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 the body.

Bmi
The technology used in these scales, Bio-electrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) is more technologically advanced than the order Body Mass Index (BMI) method where fat % is calculated using only height and weight .BIA technology uses 5 parameters to get a more accurate resolution for the analysis (weight and biological resistance which are automatically measured by the scales together with the three personal parameters entered manually – sex, height and age). This index sets mutual ratio between the body weight and height.
It can be used to determine whether the person suffers from underweight, overweight or obesity or whether his/her health condition is normal. Also with regards to heart and vascular diseases, body mass index is a relatively good risk index, particularly in healthy people. However, the index is for reference only. Experts recommend supplementing the calculation by at least measuring the waist, which makes determining disposition of the body fat more precise. BMI will not provide very reliable information for small children, elderly people and active sportsmen who have a lot of muscle mass as their results can be biased.

Optimum energy consumption Cal
It represents optimum amount of energy consumption necessary for maintaining the basic vital functions and balanced metabolism. The data on the display show the optimum daily consumption of energy that you give out at your weight, height, age and gender. You should also take in this amount of energy to keep your metabolism balanced. If you intend to reduce your weight, your daily energy intake should be a bit lower. However, remember to keep carbohydrates, fats and proteins balanced in your diet.

important notes:

1. This scale requires you to weigh yourself barefoot for the reason of correct conductivity during the body fat analysis.
2. Do not place the scale on an uneven surface or a surface covered with a carpet.
3. 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.
4. Excessive drinking, eating, exercising, health conditions, used medicaments, women‘s menstruation cycle etc. influence the results of the analysis.
5. Afte r intense sport activity, overfeeding, or excessive dehydration.
6. Children under 10, or adults over 80.
7. Body building atheletes, or other occupational atheletes.
8. Pregnant women; Dialysis or edema patient.
9. Here must not be a contact between feet, calves or thighs. Otherwise the measur ment could be inaccurate.

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 with and buttons. Then put the scale of firm and flat surface (see par. i. saFety WaRninGs) Fig. 2.

1. st = stone (American weight unit)     1 st = 6,356 kg
2. kg = kilogram                                    1 kg = 2.2 lb
3. lb = pound (British weight unit)        1 lb = 0.454 kg

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. 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.
