Thank you for purchasing these high-quality body analysis scales.
Please read these Operating Instructions carefully before using the product for the first
time, and keep them in a safe place so that you can consult them again if you need
further information.
1. How do the body analysis scales work?
With these new revolutionary scales you will receive information on your body
composition regarding weight, percentage of body fat %, body water %, muscle
mass %, and bone mass in kg. To start, you will need to enter your personal data one
time in one of the memory locations: body height, age, gender, and your physical status
(athletic/not athletic). Then weighing is as easy as on any normal scales. Then you simply
press your individual memory button, step onto the scales, and in just a few seconds
your current body status will be displayed. A small electrical current is used to measure
the resistance. Water, which is mainly contained in muscles, is a good conductor, fat on
the other hand blocks the current. Taking the measured resistance and the stored data
into consideration, the body analysis scales can very precisely calculate your body
composition.
2. Conditions of use
The measurements should take place without clothes, if possible, and always barefoot.
Since the body is subject to natural fluctuations (e.g. dehydration through sports or
sauna, intake of food and fluids), constant conditions should be ensured when
measuring, so as to receive comparable values.
Care should be taken that the measurements are always carried out at the same time of
day. Directly after getting up in the morning, the water has not yet spread through the
body. This means that the resistance is still relatively high, due to the bad conductivity in
the body. With increasing movements throughout the day, the water spreads through the
body, increasing conductivity, which causes the resistance, and thus the fat level too, to
be shown as lower. To determine the actual changes of body composition, it is therefore
important to measure always at same time. An easy way of doing this is by always
measuring a quarter of an hour after getting up in the morning, either before or after
using the toilet.
Despite the minimum current, persons with cardiac pace makers or other implants,
which emit frequencies, must not use the body ana lysis scales! Other implants, such
as a titanium plate in the knee, pose no danger. Metals, however, conduct electricity
extremely well, which has the effect that body fat values are "beautified", meaning that
the actual fat level is higher than shown by the scales. Tendencies, on the other hand,
can be determined just as well.
