IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
•
To avoid breakdown during use read this guide carefully before operating the appliance. Mishandling can cause breakdown of
the appliance.
•
Only for domestic use. The appliance is not designed for industrial or commercial use.
•
Do not attempt to repair, adjust or replace any parts of the appliance. Check and repair the malfunctioning appliance in the
nearest service center only.
•
Do not expose the scale to shocking.
•
Do not jump on the scale.
•
Do not overload the scale.
•
It is forbidden for use by persons with medical implants (for example, with pacemakers). Otherwise, faulty operation of implants
might occur.
•
Do not use during pregnancy.
•
Attention! Do not step on the scale if your feet or the scale surface are wet – you might slip.
•
Batteries may be life-threatening if swallowed.
•
Store the batteries and the scale out of the reach of children. The person who swallowed a battery,
should immediately consult a doctor.
•
Do not allow wrapping material getting into the hands of children (choking hazard).
•
It is forbidden to recharge or restore batteries in other manner, disassemble them, or throw into fire.
•
Measuring body fat percentage and other parameters in children below 10 years of age may yield invalid results.
•
Diagnostic scale may be used for simple weighing without determining water, body fat or muscle mass parameters in children of
any age. Minimum weighing limit is 2 kg.
•
Unreliable results of measuring body water, body fat or muscle mass might occur in professional athletes, persons prone to
oedema, persons with irregular leg-to-body ratio.
•
If the product has been exposed to temperatures below 0ºC for some time it should be kept at room temperature for at least 2
hours before turning it on.
•
The manufacturer shall reserve the right to introduce minor changes into the design of the scale, which do not affect its safety,
performance capacity or functionality of the appliance.
WEIGHING
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
•
The principle behind this scale is bioelectrical impedance analysis (B.I.A.). The measurement of the percentage of different
tissues occurs within seconds with electric current, which is not perceptible for a human, safe and harmless.
•
It is important that during measurement you take into account the following: measurement of the body fat percentage must be
performed only barefoot; it is advisable that you slightly moisturize the soles of your feet. Absolutely dry soles might be the
cause of an unsatisfactory result, as they possess extremely low electric conductivity.
•
If, when measuring the percentage of fat, muscle tissue, bone and water content, the obtained sum of all components has
become greater than 100%, this is not a sign of scale defect. It can be explained from the physiological point of view. Operation
of the diagnostic scale is based on the analysis of bioimpedance, which determines the amount of fat and water in muscle and
bone tissues themselves. Thus the variation of different parameters should be taken into account separately from each other,
without summarizing the obtained results.
WEIGHING
•
Make sure the scale stands on a flat, even and firm level surface. Do not put the scale onto a carpet or soft surfaces.
•
To ensure correct weight measurement it is advisable that the scale stand in the same place. By moving the scale you risk
putting it on an uneven surface, which might affect the correctness of your weight reading.
•
To ensure correct weight measurement you need to weigh at the same time, without clothes or footwear, and before eating.
•
To ensure precise weight measurement it is not recommended to weigh earlier than 2 hours after waking.
•
Step on the scale. Do not lean against anything, stand straight.
GETTING STARTED
•
Insert type
3V CR2032
batteries observing polarity into a special compartment at the bottom of the scale. Close the
compartment. The scale is ready to operate.
•
By default the scale is set to stones. There is a switch on the rear panel of the scale, for selecting “kilos” or “pounds” as units of
measurement.
•
Touch the scales with your foot to switch them on.
•
Wait for some seconds until "0.0” is displayed.
AUTOMATIC SHUTDOWN
•
If nothing happens within 20 seconds after switching on the scale will shut down automatically.
•
After weighing the scale shuts down automatically in 6 seconds without load.
AUTOMATIC RESET FUNCTION
•
Your scale has an automatic reset function. After the data are displayed on the screen, the data will be reset in a few seconds
and the screen will show 0.0 again. You may conduct the weighing again or start the weighing by setting a new user.
SETTING USER DATA
•
Input your parameters before the testing.
•
Press the “SET” button, and the screen will show the first out of twelve memory input cells «P1».
•
Confirm the cell number by pressing “SET” button or select the next number by pressing buttons; for example, «P2». Press
“SET” to go to the next settings.
