CAUTION!
Risk of injury!
If you do not use the body fat scale properly, there is an
increased risk of injury.
− Do not use the body fat scale
• if you are pregnant,
• if have a pacemaker,
• if you are ill or have a fever,
• if your legs are swollen or you have an edema,
• for children under 6 years of age.
Tips for the measurement process
− If you perform an analysis of your body directly after a meal,
higher measurements may be displayed.
− Women may experience fluctuations in the measurements in
connection with their menstrual cycle.
− If e.g. you have lost a significant amount of body water as the result
of illness or physical exertion, the measurements may be falsified.
Wait at least 8 hours before you perform the body analysis.
− The measurements may vary or be falsified if you
• suffer from osteoporosis,
• undergo dialysis treatment,
• take cardiovascular medications,
• have thick calluses on the soles of your feet,
• are an athlete or body builder,
• are under 17 years of age,
• are an athlete and perform more than 10 hours of intense
exercise on a weekly basis and have a resting pulse of less than
60 beats per minute. If this is the case, use the athlete mode.
− We recommend performing a body analysis in the morning after
you get up. This will provide you with the most reliable measuring
results.
− Do not perform a body analysis if you have just taken a bath.
Otherwise, the body water percentage will be too high and the
body fat percentage will be too low.
