Incorrect Measurement - Beurer BG 19 Mode D'emploi

– Wait several hours (6-8) after unusually strenuous activity.
– Wait approx. 15 minutes after getting out of bed so that the water in your body can be distributed.
The measurement is not reliable for:
– Children under approx. 10 years of age.
– Persons with fever, undergoing dialysis, with symptoms of edema or osteoporosis.
– Persons taking cardiovascular medication. Persons taking vascodialating or vascoconstricting medica-
tions.
– Persons with substantial anatomical deviations in the legs relative to their total height (leg length consi-
derably shorter or longer than usual).
Body fat guide
The following body fat levels provide you with a guideline (for further information, please consult your
doctor!).
A lower level is often found in athletes. Depending on the type of sports, the intensity of training and the
person's physical constitution, levels can be achieved that are even lower than the specified guidelines.
Women
Age Very good Good
<19 <17% 17–22%
20–29 <18% 18–23%
30–39 <19% 19–24%
40–49 <20% 20–25%
>50 <21% 21–26%

According to the World Health Organization (WHO 2001), the percentage of body water should lie within
the following ranges!
Women: 50–55%
Men: 60–65%
Children: 65–75%
In persons with a high percentage of body fat, the percentage of body water very frequently lies below
the specified guidelines.
As the percentage of muscle differs from individual to individual, there are no generally valid guidelines.

4. Incorrect measurement

If the scale detects an error during weighing, "FFFF" or "Err" appears in the display.
If you step onto the scale before "0.0" appears in the display, the scale will not operate properly.
Possible causes of errors:
– The maximum load-bearing capacity of 150 kg
(330 lbs) was exceeded.
– The electrical resistance between the electrodes
and the soles of your feed is too high (e.g. with
heavily callused skin).
– Your body fat lies outside the measurable range
(less than 3% or greater than 55%).
– Your percentage of water lies outside the mea-
surable range (less than 36% or greater than
70%)
