rest, to maintain normal body functions.This continual work makes up about 60-70%
of the calories the body uses, and includes the beating of your heart, respiration, and
the maintenance of body temperature.Your BMR is influenced by a number of factors,
including age, weight, height, gender, dieting and exercise habits.
BONE MASS -WHY MEASURE IT? Regular exercise and a balanced diet can help
maintain healthy bones. Like muscle, bone is a living tissue that can respond to
exercise by becoming stronger. For most people, bone mass peaks during their
thirties.After that time, we can begin to lose bone. Regular exercise can help prevent
that loss. Calcium and vitamin D contribute to healthy bones. Good sources of these
are dairy products, green leafy vegetables and fish. The bone mass readings given
by this product are an estimation of the amount of bone in your body. Those with
osteoporosis or low bone densities may not get accurate estimations. If you have
concerns regarding your bones you should always consult your doctor.

How exactly is my body fat and water being measured?
This Salter Scale uses a measurement method known as Bioelectrical Impedance
Analysis (BIA). A minute current is sent through your body, via your feet and legs.
This current flows easily through the lean muscular tissue, which has a high fluid
content, but not easily through fat. Therefore, by measuring your body’s impedance
(i.e. its resistance to the current), the quantity of muscle can be determined. From
this, the quantity of fat and water can then be estimated.
What is the value of the current passing through me when the measurement is
taken? Is it safe?
The current is less than 1mA, which is tiny and perfectly safe. You will not be able
to feel it. Please note however, that this device should not be used by anyone with
an internal electronic medical device, such as a pacemaker, as a precaution against
disruption to that device.
If I measure my body fat and water at different times during the day, it can
vary quite considerably. Which value is correct?
Your body fat percentage reading varies with body water content, and the latter
changes throughout the course of the day. There is no right or wrong time of the day
to take a reading, but aim to take measurements at a regular time when you consider
your body to be normally hydrated. Avoid taking readings after having a bath or
sauna, following intensive exercise, or within 1-2 hours of drinking in quantity or
eating a meal.
My friend has a Body Fat Analyser made by another manufacturer.
When I used it I found that I got a different body fat reading. Why is this?
Different Body Fat Analysers take measurements around different parts of the body
and use different mathematic algorithms to calculate the percentage of body fat.
The best advice is to not make comparisons from one device to another, but to use
the same device each time to monitor any change.
How do I interpret my body fat and water percentage readings?
Please refer to the Body Fat and Water tables included with the product. They will
guide you as to whether your body fat and water reading falls into a healthy category
(relative to your age and sex).
What should I do if my body fat reading is very ‘high?
A sensible diet, fluid intake and exercise program can reduce your body fat
percentage. Professional medical guidance should always be sought before
embarking on such a program.
Why are the body fat percentage ranges for men and women so different?
Women naturally carry a higher percentage of fat than men, because the make-up of
the body is different being geared towards pregnancy, breastfeeding etc.
What should I do if my water percentage reading is ‘low’?
Ensure that you are regularly taking sufficient water and work towards moving your
fat percentage into the healthy range.
Why should I avoid using the Body Analyser Scale whilst pregnant?
During pregnancy a woman’s body composition changes considerably in order to
support the developing child. Under these circumstances, body fat percentage
readings could be inaccurate and misleading. Pregnant women should therefore only
use the weight function.
ADVICE FOR USE AND CARE Always weigh yourself on the same scale placed on
the same floor surface. Do not compare weight readings from one scale to another
as some differences will exist due to manufacturing tolerances. • Placing your
scale on a hard, even floor will ensure the greatest accuracy and consistency. • It
is recommended that you measure at the same time of the day, preferably early
evening before a meal for the most consistent results. • Your scale rounds up or
down to the nearest increment. If you weigh yourself twice and get two different
readings, your weight lies between the two. • Clean your scale with a damp cloth.
Do not use chemical cleaning agents. • Do not allow your scale to become saturated
with water as this can damage the electronics. • Treat your scale with care - it is
a precision instrument. Do not drop it or jump on it. • Caution: the platform may
become slippery when wet.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE You must have bare feet when using body fat and total
body water measurements. • The condition of your skin on the bottom of your feet
can affect the reading. To get the most accurate and consistent reading, wipe your
feet with a damp cloth, leaving them slightly moist before stepping on the scale.

gestion du poids et de la santé. Les mesures sont envoyées via une liaison sans fil
vers votre appareil mobile et peuvent être visionnées avec l’appli MiBody que vous
pouvez télécharger gratuitement. Il est ainsi possible de suivre la courbe d’évolution
et les précisions et conseils de régime alimentaire accompagnant les résultats.
Ceux-ci sont stockés uniquement sur votre appareil mobile personnel et demeurent

MiBody doit être utilisé en complément et non en substitution des conseils prodigués
par les professionnels de la santé. Si votre condition physique vous préoccupe,
demandez conseil à un personnel médical qualifié.
COMMENT FONCTIONNE CE PESE-PERSONNE SALTER ? Ce pèse-personne Salter
a été conçu sur le modèle technologique d’analyse de la bio impédance qui consiste
à faire passer une impulsion électrique infime à travers le corps, cette dernière étant
complètement anodine et inoffensive, afin de différencier le tissu adipeux du tissu
maigre. Le contact avec le corps s’effectue grâce au film conducteur du plateau de
la balance.
Cette méthode calcule simultanément votre poids, votre masse lipidique, votre
masse aqueuse, votre indice de masse corporelle (IMC), votre taux métabolique
basal (TMB), votre masse osseuse et votre masse musculaire, ce qui vous permet
d’obtenir un résultat plus précis sur votre état de santé général et sur votre forme. Ce
pèse-personne est capable de mémoriser les données personnelles de 8 utilisateurs
différents. Bien que cet appareil soit un analyseur, il peut aussi être utilisé comme
