Determining the Body Mass Index (BMI)
The BMI figure is an index showing the ratio between height and weight.
To determine this value you need the height of the person.
Start the scale and weigh the person following the steps under weighing. Then
press the BMI key (11) to start BMI mode. The last value entered appears on the
display. Use the numerical key pad to enter a new value for the height (in cm) or retain the value, which is
already been displayed. Confirm the value entered with the ENTER key or delete same by using the CLEAR
key. After the entry has been confirmed by the ENTER key, the BMI value will be calculated using the weight
on the scales. The display changes between weight value and BMI value "b xx.x" (every two seconds) for a
period of 3 minutes. Press the BMI key (11) to cancel before this time has expired.
