WATER MEASURED VALUES
The body fat and water measurements are
influenced by the amount of water in the body.
The amount of water varies, e.g. according to
the time of day, demands on the body, baths
or showers, menstruation, eating and drinking.
Even illnesses or medication may influence the
result.
The following guide values, according to WHO,
apply to persons who are normal weight:
- Women 50-55%
- Men 60-65%
WHAT IS MUSCLE MASS?
This function indicates the calculated mass of
skeletal muscles (approximate value) in your
body. A human being has over 600 muscles.
Muscles play an important role (movement,
posture) and use energy. With increasing
muscle mass (increase in activity and sport),
more energy and calories are used and the body
fat content is reduced.
Average skeletal muscle mass (International
Commission on Radiological Protection, 1975):
- Women who weigh 58 kg: 30%
- Men who weigh 70 kg: 40%
CLEANING THE APPLIANCE
Never immerse the scales into water.
Do not use a steam cleaner.
Wipe the scales with a damp cloth, do not use
scouring agents.
Clean the glass surface with a standard glass
cleaner.
ERROR MESSAGES
•
is indicated on the display:
- The calibration was defective.
->
Remove and re-insert the battery.
Then tap briefly and audibly on the
surface of the scales with the heel of
your foot.
- The weighing process was not conducted
with the person standing still or for long
enough.
->
You must stand still on the scales for at
least five seconds.
- The weight to be weighed is too heavy
(max. 180 kg).
- The contact between the soles of the feet
and the measuring contacts is too low.
->
Place feet on the measuring contacts.
- Your feet have contacted with measuring
contacts and metal frame around display.
->
Place feet only on the measuring
contacts.
NOTE:
Very dry skin and/or very hard skin may
distort the result. The measurement results will
be more accurate if the soles of the feet have
good blood circulation or are damp. However, to
avoid the risk of slipping, please ensure that the
soles of the feet are not wet.
- The percentage of body fat is outside the
range of 5-50%.
->
Repeat the measuring process.
- The percentage of body water content is
outside the range of 43-75%.
->
Repeat the measuring process.
- The percentage of muscle mass is outside
the range of 25-80%.
->
Repeat the measuring process.
•
is displayed:
- The battery is discharged or too weak.
->
Change the battery. Then calibrate the
scales, tap briefly and audibly on the
surface of the scales with the heel of
your foot.
Do not use rechargeable batteries.
Use the same type of batteries only.
CHANGING THE BATTERY
Whenever a battery needs changing, open the
compartment and remove the dead battery by
gently prizing it out as shown in (Fig. 6). Fit
the new battery and press it down gently so
that it locks into position. Make sure that the
widest part is facing up, so that the «
