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:
Remedy:
FFFF
The maximum load-bearing capacity of
150 kg (330 lbs) was exceeded.
Only weigh the maximum permissible
weight.
Err
The electrical resistance between the elec-
trodes and the soles of your feed is too
high (e.g. with heavily callused skin).
Repeat weighing barefoot.
Slightly moisten the soles of your feet if
necessary. Remove the calluses on the
soles of your feet if necessary.
Err
Your body fat lies outside the measurable
range (less than 5% or greater than 60%).
Repeat weighing barefoot.
Slightly moisten the soles of your feet if
necessary.
Err
Your percentage of water lies outside the
measurable range (less than 30% or greater
than 90%).
Repeat weighing barefoot.
Slightly moisten the soles of your feet if
necessary.
