Results In Relation To Time; Replacing Batteries - Korona Daniela Mode D'emploi

Daily calorie requirement
The displayed calorie requirement is the amount of energy that the active body needs each
day. A person's calorie requirement increases with more physical activity and is calculated by
the diagnostic scales (in athlete mode) using the selected level of activity (1-3).
To maintain the current weight, the energy that the body uses must be replaced in the form of
food and drink. If less energy is taken in that is used over a long period of time, the body takes
the difference from the fat stores and loses weight. On the other hand, if more energy is taken
in than the calculated calorie requirement, the body cannot burn off the excess energy. The
excess is stored in the body as fat and the body gains weight.

results in relation to time

Remember that only long-term trends are important. Short-term fluctuations in weight
over a few days are usually the result of a loss of fluid.
The interpretation of the results reflects changes in total body weight, percentage of body fat
and body water as well as muscle density, and takes into account the length of time over which
these changes take place. Sudden 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 content, 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 re-
mains 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. This way
you can increase your muscle percentage over the medium term.
• Body fat, body water or muscle percentages should not be added (certain elements of
m uscle tissue also contain body water).

replacing batteries

The batteries in the scales must be replaced if the message "LO" appears in the display. If the
batteries are too flat, then the scales will switch off automatically.
note:
• When changing batteries, always use batteries of the same type, brand and
capacity.
• Always replace all batteries simultaneously.
• Do not use rechargeable batteries.
• Use batteries that are free of heavy metals.
