Little influence can be exerted on bone mass, but it will vary slightly within the influencing factors
(weight, height, age, gender).
Results in relation to time
Note that it is only the long-term trend which counts. Short period fluctuations in weight over a few
days are mostly the result of a loss of fluid.
The interpretation of the results will depend on changes in your overall weight and body fat, body
water and muscle percentages, as well as on the period during which these changes take place. Rapid
changes within days must be distinguished from medium term changes (over weeks) and long term
changes (months).
A basic rule is that short term changes in weight almost exclusively represent changes in water con-
tent, whereas medium and long term changes may also involve the fat and muscle percentages.
• If your weight reduces over the short term, but your body fat percentage increases or remains the
same, you have merely lost water – e.g. after a training session, sauna session or a diet restricted
only to rapid weight loss.
• If your weight increases over the medium term and the body fat percentage falls or stays the same,
then you could have built up valuable muscle mass.
If your weight and body fat percentage fall simultaneously then your diet is working – you are losing
fat mass. Ideally you should support your diet with physical activity, fitness or power training. By this
means, you can increase your muscle percentage over the medium term.
6. Incorrect measurement
If the scale detects an error during measurement, this is indicated with “Err”.
Possible causes of error: Remedy:
The scale was not activated before you stood on it.
If you stand on the scale before “0.0” appears in the
display, the scale will not function correctly.
Activate the scale correctly and repeat the measure-
ment.
The maximum capacity of 150 kg has been exceeded. Weigh only the maximum permissible weight.
The electrical resistance between the electrodes and
the soles of the feet is too high (e.g. in the case of
thick calluses).
Repeat the measurement barefoot.
If necessary, moisten the soles of your feet slightly. If
necessary, remove the calluses from the soles of your
feet.
You are standing unsteadily on the scale. Keep still while standing on the scale.
The fat percentage is outside the measurable range
(less than 5% or greater than 50%).
Repeat the measurement barefoot or, if necessary,
moisten the soles of your feet slightly.
The water percentage is outside the measurable range
(less than 43% or greater than 75%).
Repeat the measurement barefoot or, if necessary,
moisten the soles of your feet slightly.
The muscle and bone percentages are outside the
measurable range (age and gender related).
Repeat the measurement barefoot or, if necessary,
moisten the soles of your feet slightly.
7. Disposal
Used, fully discharged batteries must be disposed of in a specially labeled collection container, at
toxic waste collection points or through an electrical retailer. You are under legal obligation to dispo-
se of batteries correctly.
