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 the mutual ratio between 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 the 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.

Minimum energy consumption KCAL
It represents the minimum amount of energy consumption necessary for maintaining the basic vital functions. The data show the minimum daily consumption of energy that you give out at your weight, height, age, and gender. 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: pacemaker, 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 the optimum arrangement of body characteristics are only orientational. It is necessary to take into account the current state and differences in each individual. In the athlete mode, you can also use the attached tables as a guide, but especially the reference value of muscle mass is different in your case.

PREPARATION FOR USE

Symbols are shown on the display
A – age
B – Male / Female / athlete
C – User memory 1 to 12
D – Units of height and weight “BMI”=Body Mass Index; „KCAL/BMR“=min. daily calorie amount

Athlete Mode: An athlete is defined as a person who is involved in intense physical activity for approximately 12 hours per week and who has a resting heart rate of approximately  60 beats per minute or less.
Remove all the packing material and take the scale out. Remove all possible adhesion foils, and stick–them 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 a 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 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
lb = pound (British weight unit)
st:lb = stone:pound (American/British weight unit)
FT;In = feet;inches| 1 kg = 2.2 lb
1 lb = 0.454 kg
1 st = 6,356 kg
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 the 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 is 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 12 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 (until will show 0.0).

2. Press the SET button Number of memory will start the flash on the display (e.g. 1 ).

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

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

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

6. Set your age with the button (Age)
   Confirm by pressing the SET 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)
3. Body water contents in % (Water)
4.  BMI (Body Mass Index)
5. Musculature contents in % (Muscle)
6. Bone weight contents in kg (Bone)
7. Min. daily kilocalorie requirement (KCAL)
   The results will display in a cycle. After repetitions, the scale will automatically turn off.

Notice
There must not be 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 SET 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 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.

TROUBLESHOOTING OF POSSIBLE PROBLEMS

If you have problems with weight:

• Check whether the batteries are 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 appear only, replace the battery.
• If appears on the display, the scale was overloaded.
• „ ErrH“ if the Body fat value is more than the measurable range.
•  „ ErrL “ if the Body fat value is less than the measurable range.
•  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).
