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. Excessive drinking, eating, exercising, health conditions, used medicaments, women‘s menstruation cycle etc. influence the results of the analysis.
4. Here must not be a contact between feet, calves or thighs. Otherwise, the measure ment could be inaccurate.
5. Due to the inherent differences between people, the instructions and the application are for information purposes only.
6. The hand-held sensor must also be used for the analysis to work properly. Simply stepping on the weighing surface is not enough. Grasp the sensor with the whole palm of your hand as shown in the figure below. Grasp the left arm with the left palm and the right arm with the right palm.

GENERAL INFORMATION

You have purchased an advanced device that is a multifunctional modern assistant for monitoring and analyzing various body characteristics. The handheld sensor makes the results even more accurate. Together with the AiLink app (compatible with Android or iOS), which you connect to the scale via Bluetooth, you will have the results clearly in one place and available from any compatible device. After the scale is paired with the Smart device, the AiLink app starts displaying the measurement results in real-time. The scale itself only displays the weight, but the application also receives other measured values for further processing. Before first use, download the AiLink application to your smart device for free. You can find the application in the Apple Store or Google Play database, or to speed up the process, you can use the following QR codes:

Note

• If the QR code is not active, find the application manually by name.
• For English version of the application, you must have English as a system language in the smart device.

Detailed instructions and info on the AiLink app itself can be found on the website:
www.etasince1943.com/care
The application requires an active internet connection.

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.

Weight and height units
The scale features a unit switch – “UNIT” – situated at the bottom of the scale which can be used to change the units between kg – lb – st. Weight units can also be changed in the application.

kg = kilogram 1 kg = 2.2 lb
lb = pound (British weight unit) 1 lb = 0.454 kg
st = stone (American weight unit) 1 st = 6,356 kg
Inch = inches 1 In = 2,54 cm

Replacing batteries

Note
Do not use different types of batteries: Do not use used and new batteries together.

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. The handheld sensor, which is a fixed part of the scale, adds an additional element to ensure more accurate analysis results.

Scale initialization (calibration)
This process needs to be repeated whenever you move the scale.
a) Step up on the centre of the weighing scale which turns it on and then step down.
b) “0.0“ will appear.
c) Wait till it switches off automatically. The scale is now ready for an analysis.

1. STANDARD WEIGHT MEASUREMENT
   Without the use of the AiLink app in the Smart device, the scale can provide basic weight measurements as any other scale.
   Gently step on the scale, then the scale will be automatically turned on. Stand evenly on the scale without moving and wait until your weight shown on display.

2. After a moment, the measured weight flashes. Then the scale are switched off automatically.
   Note

  * The scale is switched on automatically if you do not step on it within approx. 10 seconds after „0.0“ is displayed.
  * We recommend using the scale from about 5 kg of the subject.
  * The icon flashes on the display to indicate communication/searching for nearby devices. When the icon stays lit, the connection with the application is on.
  * Keep the app turned off for normal weighing.

2. WEIGHT MEASUREMENT WITH AN ANALYSIS AND USE OF THE APP
   
   Download the app, create an account and pair the app with the scale. Turn the app on and then weigh yourself barefoot in the standard way (necessary with a handheld sensor) – make sure your palms are fully gripping the electrodes. After a successful measurement, the data is automatically transferred to the app.
   For more information, download the instructions for use of the application, see chap.II.

TROUBLESHOOTING OF POSSIBLE PROBLEMS

If you have problems with weight:

• Check whether the battery is inserted properly.
• 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 batteries.
• If „Err“ appears on the display, the scale was overloaded.
• If „Err1“ appears on the display, body fat measurement failed.
• 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).
