body analysis
7
When you stay on the scale after it displayed your weight, the
scale will automatically perform a body analysis. The scale can
identify users according to the weight.
Important: When using the analysis function, make sure there is
no contact between your feet, legs, calves or thighs. Otherwise
the measurement will not be performed correctly. After the
weight is stable, the “0” signal moves from left to right for two
times, and then shows the data.
The scale is measuring the bodyfat, -water, etc.
The scale can identify a person by their weight.
If it detects more users with a similar weight, it
will display the relative user positions. Use the
or
keys to choose the right user. Stay on
the scale to complete the measurement.
The scale will now display the results:
Bodyfat, bodywater and muscle
and your bone mass will be shown in kilograms.
To give you the opportunity to see all the results, the scale will
show them three times before it turns off:
1. weight
2. bodyfat
3. bodywater
4. bodymuscle
5. bone mass
If you don’t choose a user or when the scale can’t identify you, it
will only show your weight and then turn off.

The percentage of bodyfat represents the in terms of
percentage part of the complete body weight. There is no real
advise for this value, because it depends on gender and age.
Bodyfat is very important for your body, to ensure good
functioning. It protects organs, hinges, regulates the body
temperature, stores vitamins and acts as a reserve for the body.
Females need a bodyfat percentage between 10% and 13%.
Males need a bodyfat percentage between 2% and 5%, with
exception of sports people.
The following body fat percentages are guide values (contact
your physician for further information).
