User Guide

INTENDED USE

Thank you for choosing a product from our range.
MyScale is only intended for weighing humans and recording your body health data on a secure and personal account.
The scale is equipped with the following functions, which can be used by up to 8 different people:

MyScale uses bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) technology (a small low electrical current that passes through the body) to estimate body composition (body fat, muscle  mass, bone mass and body water) and heart rate. The technology is relatively simple, quick, and noninvasive and provides a complete picture of your personal body health.
Kindly note that the values calculated by the scale only represent an approximation of the actual medical analytical values for the body. Only a specialist doctor can precisely  establish the body fat, body water, muscle percentage and bone structure using medical methods (e.g. computer tomography).

ADVICES AND RECOMMENDATION

• Try to measure yourself at the same time ever day (ideally in the morning), on an empty stomach and without clothes on, in order to obtain results that can be compared.
• Body composition calculation may only be made when barefoot. Always step into the scale with your socks or shoes off.
• Ensure accurate data are saved in your personal profile (gender, age & height).
• Stand up straight and still during the measurement.
• Do not worry if your feet appear too large compared to the scale surface.
