Results in relation to time
Note: Remember that only long-term trends are important. Short-term fluctuations in weight over a few
days are usually the result of a loss of fluid.
The interpretation of the results will depend on changes in your overall weight and body fat, body water and mu-
scle percentages, as well as on the period during which these changes take place. Sudden changes within days
must be distinguished from medium term changes (over weeks) and long term changes (months).
A basic rule is that short term changes in weight almost exclusively represent changes in water content, whereas
medium and long term changes may also involve the fat and muscle percentages.
• If your weight reduces over the short term, but your body fat percentage increases or remains the same, you
have merely lost water – e.g. after a training session, sauna session or a diet restricted only to rapid weight loss.
• If your weight increases over the medium term and the body fat percentage falls or stays the same, then you
could have built up valuable muscle mass.
• If your weight and body fat percentage fall simultaneously then your diet is working – you are losing fat mass.
• Ideally you should support your diet with physical activity, fitness or power training. This way you can increase
your muscle percentage over the medium term.
• Body fat, body water or muscle percentages should not be added (certain elements of muscle tissue also con-
tain body water).
4. Cleaning and care of the unit
The unit should be cleaned occasionally.Clean using a damp cloth, to which you can apply a little detergent if
necessary.
IMPORTANT:
• Do not use aggressive solvents or cleaning agents!
• Never immerse the unit in water!
• Do not wash the unit in a dishwasher!
5. 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
– The maximum load-bearing capacity of 180 kg was
exceeded.
– Only weigh the maximum permissible weight.
– Not standing still. – Stand as still as possible.
– The electrical resistance between the electrodes
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 nec-
essary.
– Your body fat lies outside the measurable range
(less than 5% or greater than 75%).
– Repeat weighing barefoot.
– Slightly moisten the soles of your feet if necessary.
