2. Getting to Know your Instrument
This digital Body Analysis Scale is intended for measuring body weight and providing an analysis of your
personal fitness data. It is intended for household use only. In addition to measuring body weight and
BMI, the scale has the following functions that can be used by up to eight persons:
• Body fat percentage
• Body water percentage
• Muscle percentage
• Bone mass and
• Basal metabolic rate and active metabolic rate
The scale also includes the following features:
• Switches between kilograms (kg), pounds (lb) and stones (st)
• Automatic shutoff
• Low battery indicator
• Automatic user recognition
• Stores last 30 measurements for each of eight users

This scale works on the principle of Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA). This involves a quick
calculation of body content using a harmless electric current that is not even noticeable.
When measurement of the electrical resistance (impedance) is considered alongside other data (age,
height, gender, and activity level), body fat percentage and other variables in the body can be estimated.
Muscle tissue and water conduct electricity well and therefore have a lower resistance.
In contrast, bones and fat tissue have low conductivity as fat cells and bones only minimally conduct
current due to very high levels of resistance.
Calculated values only approximate the actual values for your body. Only a doctor can precisely establish
body fat, body water, muscle percentage and bone structure using medical methods.
Tips
• If possible, always weigh yourself at the same time every day (ideally in the morning), after having
used the restroom, on an empty stomach and with as little clothing as possible, in order to obtain
comparable, consistent results.
• Body fat percentage can only be calculated when you are barefoot; the soles of the feet may be lightly
dampened where appropriate. Results may be unsatisfactory if the soles of your feet are completely dry
or feature areas of rough skin; this reduces conductivity.
• Stand up straight and still while weighing.
• Wait a few hours after significant physical exertion.
• Wait about 15 minutes after waking so that your body‘s water content can normalize.
• Remember that only long-term trends are important. Brief deviations in weight within a few days are
normally caused by changes in body water content.
