5.3 Taking measurements

After all parameters have been entered, you can now measure your weight, body fat and the other data.
• Press "SET".
• Select the memory space where you would like to save your basic personal data by pressing the
button several times. These are then displayed briefly until "0.0" appears.
• Step onto the scale with bare feet and make sure that you are standing still on the electrodes.
• All values determined appear after weighing.
Important: There may be no contact between feet, legs, calves and thighs. Otherwise the measurement
will not be performed correctly.

4. Muscle percentage in %
5. Bone mass in kg
6. Active metabolic rate in Kcal
