BODY WEIGHT SCALE
principle of this device is based on the measurement of the electric impedance
within the human body. In order to determine the actual body data, the device
leads a weak, unnoticeable electric signal through your body. • This signal is
generally safe! However, please read our special safety instructions! • The
method of measurement is referred to as “bioelectric impedance analysis”
(BIA), a factor which is based on the relationship between body weight and
associated body water percentages as well as on other biological data(age,
gender, body weight). • There are heavy persons with a well-balanced
percentage between fat and muscle mass, and there are seemingly slim
persons with significantly high body fat values, fat is a factor that puts serious
strain on the body, in particular the cardio-vascular system. Therefore,
controlling both values (fat and weight) is a prerequisite for health and fitness.
USE
• The scales are factory set with the units”kg” and “cm”. To change the settings
to “lb” or “kg” and ‘Ft:in”,proceed as follows: On the back side of the scale
beside the battery compartment a switch can be found, push the below switch,
choose between the measuring units kg/lb/st.
WEIGHING FUNCTION
• Place the scale on a hard, flat surface (avoid carpets). An uneven floor
contributes to inaccurate measurements. • Stand on the scales with both feet.
The device switches on automatically. • Distribute your weight equally and wait
for the scale to determine your weight. • The digits on the display will flash
before your exact weight will be shown. • In order to extend the battery life,
the device will automatically turn off 10 seconds after you have stepped off the
scale.
SAVING PERSONAL DATE
• The scale has default values that you can change, as described below.
• Carry out the following steps in sequence and within a few seconds,
otherwise the device will automatically cancel the input mode. • Press the
button SET. The memory space will flash on the display (P0). Confirm the
setting by pressing SET or select another memory space by pressing the UP/
DOWN button and then SET to go to the next setting. • The symbol for”male”
or “female” will flash. Confirm the setting by pressing SET or use the UP/
DOWN button to choose the symbol for your gender and then press to go
the next setting. • The height setting will flash. Select your height by pressing
the UP or DOWN button. Holding down one of the buttons will accelerate the
process. Confirm your entry by pressing SET. • The setting AGE will flash.
Select your age by pressing the UP or DOWN button. Holding down one of
the buttons will accelerate the process. Confirm your entry by pressing SET. •
