GENERAL INFORMATION

Body Fat Ratio Chart

The optimal percentage of body water is about 50-65 % for men and 45-60 % for a women.

Muscle Ratio Chart

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 KCAL

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. 239 cal = 1 kJ

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. Tables and information concerning optimum arrangement of body characteristics is only orientational.

PREPARATION FOR USE

Symbols shown on the display

• A – age
• B – symbol for muscle mass analysis
• C – symbol for bone analysis
• D – Male / Female
• E – User memory 0 to 9
• F – Units of height and weight
• G – Particular items of the analysis (“fat”; “TBW”=total body water; “BMI”=Body Mass Index; „KCAL“=recommended daily calorie amount

Analysis result indicator
Underfat= malnutrition
Healthy= normal
Overfat= overweight
Obese= obesity

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. Turn on the scale by tapping your foot on the weighing surface and check the weight unit displayed on the display (kg). If you prefer to set st:lb or lb unit, you can switch it over after you turn on the scales (in weighing mode) by pushing one of the directional arrow-button ( , ).

kg = kilogram 1 kg = 2.2 lb
lb = pound (British weight unit) 1 lb = 0.454 kg
st:lb = stone:pound (American/British weight unit) 1 st = 6,356 kg
FT;In = feet;inches 1 FT = 30.48 cm; 1 In = 2,54 cm

Replacing the batteries
Open the battery cover on the bottom of the scale (pic. 2). Insert a battery with the right polarity and close the cover. Use AAA batteries (3 pcs) for this appliance. If you are not using the appliance for some time, take the batteries out!

Notes

• Do not combine various types of batteries. Do not even combine used and new batteries together.
• Batteries not intended for this purpose must not be charged.
• Remove the batteries if you will not be using the appliance for a long time.
• The supply terminals must not be short-circuited.

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 the day (best in the morning) and also on the same place to get 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.

A) Regular weighing mode
Turn the scale on by stepping on the weighing surface. After a moment, the measured weight flashes and the value remains displayed for several seconds. Then the scale are switched off automatically.

B) Weighing and total body analysis mode
Setting (change) of personal data for the body fat and water analysis
Before the first analysis, it is necessary to put in personal data (sex, height and age) which will be saved to the memory. It is possible to save data of 10 persons in the scale‘s memory.

The input data can be set and gradually changed in the following range:

1. Turn the scale on by stepping on the weighing surface.

2. Press the button.

3. Select the number of the memory (with button or ) to which you want to save the data for the person to be weighed.
   Confirm by pressing the button.

4. Set your sex with the or button: male / female 
   Confirm by pressing the button.

5. Set your height with the or button.
   Confirm by pressing the button.

6. Set your age with the or button (Age)
   Confirm by pressing the button.

Now all the personal data is saved (changed). Wait till 0.0 appears. Stand on the scale and wait for results.

The following data will start to show after a few seconds:

1. – Weight in set units
2. – Body fat contents in % (fat) + analysis colour signalization (blue=underweight; green=normal; red=overfat, obesity)
3. – Body water contents in % (TBW)
4. – Musculature contents in % ( )
5. – Bone weight contents in kg ( )
6. – BMI (Body Mass Index)
7. – Daily kilocalorie requirement (KCAL)

The results will display in a cycle. After three repetitions, the scale will automatically turn off.

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. 1), proceed as follows:

1. Press the button (if you were using the scale in the regular weighing mode).
2. Wait for 0.0 on the display or choose the number of memory with the or button where your setting is saved.
3. Do not press anything after selecting the respective number of memory (wait till 0.0 appears). Step on the scale and your weight and bodily characteristics will begin to be analyzed.

Note
The scale is switched on automatically if you do not step on it within approx. 10 seconds after „0.0“ is displayed. The scales can be turned off also by pressing the button .

Error messages and their symbols

Very high % of fat
Err| The measured weight is higher than maximum allowed value of the scale.

TROUBLESHOOTING OF POSSIBLE PROBLEMS

If you have problems with weight:

• Check whether the batteries are inserted properly.
• Check whether you selected the proper weight unit.
• Check whether the scale is on a flat floor and they do not touch the wall.
• If nothing appears on the scale when you want to switch them on by tapping on them or if „Lo“ appears only, replace the battery.
• If „Err“ appears on the display, the scale was overloaded.
• If unusual signs are displayed, remove the insert the battery again.
• If signs appear, such as if the display is flashing or if there is a faulty sign, try to move the scale away from the influence of a source of interference or ensure switching off the source for the time of using the scale.

STORING

After using the scale, put it into the horizontal position (not vertically), out of reach of children and incapacitated people (see par. I. SAFETY WARNINGS).
