Setting user data

To measure your body fat percentage and other physical data, you must enter your personal user para meters.
The scale includes 10 memory spaces on which you and other members of your family can save personal
settings.
Switch on the scale (tap the weighing area). Wait until the display shows "0.0".
Then press "SET". The first memory position will appear flashing on the display. Now you can enter the fol-
lowing settings:

Confirm the settings in each case by pressing "SET".
Then the scale is ready for measuring. If you do not carry out a measurement, the scale switches off auto-
matically after several seconds.

Taking measurements

After all parameters have been entered, you can now measure your weight, body fat and the other data.
• Switch on the scale.
• Select the memory space where you would like to save your basic personal data by pressing the "up"
or "down" button several times. These are then displayed briefly until "0.0" appears.
• Step onto the scale with bare feet and make sure that you are standing still on the electrodes.
• All values determined appear after weighing.
Important: There may be no contact between feet, legs, calves and thighs. Otherwise the measurement will
not be performed correctly.

2 Low: A small amount of light physical effort (e.g. short walks, light garden work,
light exercise).
3 Medium: Physical effort for 30 minutes at least 2 to 4 times a week.
4 High: Physical effort for 30 minutes at least 4 to 6 times a week.

switches off.

Tips for using the scale

– Place the scale on a hard, plane level floor (no carpet); a firm floor covering is required for correct measurement.
– If possible, always weigh yourself at the same time of day (preferably in the morning) striving for compa-
rable conditions such as after using the toilet, on an empty stomach and unclothed, in order to achieve
comparable results.
– Stand still and upright during the measurement.
– Wait a few hours after unaccustomed physical activity.
– Wait approx. 15 minutes after getting up in the morning to allow the water in the body to distribute.
