General information

The measured values serve only as indi­
cators to observe long­term changes. They
do not substitute medical supervision or a
doctor's consultation. For more information
about your body fat, body water, bone mass
and muscle mass percentages and their
ideal values, please consult your physician.
Tip: To collect comparable values it is
r ecommended to weigh yourself each
day at the same time and under the same
conditions (preferably three hours after
meals or exercise).
Note: The measurement results are not
meaningful for children under 10 years
of age.
The individual measurement values can
not be realistically added because muscles
contain water, for example.
Activity mode
L
Scientific studies have shown that the body
composition of competitive athletes varies
significantly from recreational athletes and
people who don't exercise. The scale thus
allows you to specify your own personal
fitness on five different levels.

Activity levels

1 no sporting activity
2 light, sporadic sporting activity
3 light but regular sporting activity
4 regular sporting activity
5 endurance / performance sport
FAT How do the scales measure
body fat?
The scales measure the body fat
percentage using the Bioelectrical Imped­
ance Analysis (BIA) method. To take this
measurement, the appliance sends an
extremely weak e lectrical signal through
your body
and measures your body's resistance
(impedance) to this signal. The impedance
is affected by your body's composition.
Since they contain water, your muscles and
organs are good conductors. Fat, on the
other hand, is a bad conductor.
The scales compute the body fat
percentage from the measured resistance
and the values stored in the User Profile
(height, age, gender).
Since people's body fat percentage is highly
individual, the values shown in Table F on
the fold­out page are only guidelines.
