Setting user data

To measure your body fat percentage and other physical data, you must enter your personal user para meters.
The scale includes over 10 memory spaces on which you and other members of your family can save perso-
nal 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 follow-
ing settings:
Memory position

You can enter the relevant settings with short or long pressure on the "up" button
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.
• Press "SET".
• Select the memory space where you would like to save your basic personal data by pressing the "up"
"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.

not be performed correctly.

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 comparable
conditions such as after using the toilet, on an empty stomach and unclothed, in order to achieve compa-
rable results.
