Display of all personal data
After you entered your personal data,
the selected pre-programmed number
("1-12") flashes four times, the personal
data is shown and the scale turns into
measuring mode ("0.0 lb“ is displayed).
If you selected an age of 12 or below,
the screen shows the child symbol in ad-
dition to the other personal data.
Selecting the athlete mode
If the age for the selected memory space is set between 15 and 50,
you can select the athlete mode. See the box at the bottom of this page
for a description of the athlete mode.

In the measuring mode (when the display shows all the personal
data), before you step on the scale, press the
UP
button. The athlete
symbol appears in the display.
Athlete mode
Your scale has a separate setting for very fit athletes or muscular individuals.
As muscle cells have a similar bio-electric resistance to fat cells the scale could
interpret muscles as fat. This problem only occurs if the muscle mass is large;
if a person has a normal range of muscles the scale does not measure this as
fat.
The athlete mode prevents this incorrect interpretation. In this mode the actual
body fat values are measured using a different mathematical formula.
