AMR
The active metabolic rate (AMR) is the amount of energy that an active body consumes each day. An indi-
vidual's energy requirement increases when the level of physical activity increases; the scale calculates this
by means of the activity level (1– 5) that has been entered.
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 than is used over a long period of time, the body takes the difference from its
fat stores, and weight loss results. However, if the amount of energy taken in exceeds the calculated active
metabolic rate (AMR) for a longer period, the body cannot burn off the excess energy. The excess is stored
in the body as fat, leading to weight gain.
Interpreting the Results
NOTE: Only long-term trends are important. Brief deviations in weight within a few days are normally caused
by loss of fluids.
Interpretation of these results is based on changes in total body weight, percentage of body fat, body water
and muscle content, as well as the length of time over which these changes occur. Rapid changes within
the scope of a few days are considered separately from medium-term changes (in the scope of weeks) and
long-term changes (months). As a basic rule, short-term changes in weight are almost entirely changes in
water con tent, whereas medium-term and long-term changes may indicate changes in fat percentage and
muscle percentage.
• If you experience short-term weight loss but your body fat percentage increases or stays the same, you have
only lost water, such as after a training session, visit to the sauna, or a diet aimed only at fast weight loss.
• On the other hand, if your weight increases in the medium term and your body fat percentage drops or
stays the same, you may have increased your muscle mass.
• If your weight and body fat percentage both fall at the same time, then your diet is working – you are los-
ing fat mass.
• Ideally, you should support your diet with physical activity, fitness or strength training. This enables you
to increase your muscle percentage in the medium term.
• Body fat, body water, and muscle percentages should not be totaled, since muscle tissue also contains
compo nents made of body water.

User assignment
It is possible to assign up to eight users for weight-only measurement (with shoes) or analysis (bare feet). For
a new measurement, the scale assigns a measurement to the user whose most recently saved measurement
is within 4 lb or 2 kg of the active measurement and within 2% of the body fat.
Unknown measurements
If a measurement cannot be assigned to a known user, it is stored as an unknown measurement. Up to 20
unknown measurements can be saved. Use the app to directly assign unknown measurements to a user.
Saving the assigned measurements on the scale
If the app is open and your mobile device is paired with the scale via Bluetooth
ments are sent to the app and not saved on the scale. If the app is not open, the newly assigned measure-
ments are saved on the scale. A total of 30 measurements per user can be saved. The saved measurements
are transferred automatically to the app if you open the app within Bluetooth
takes place within 10 seconds. It is also possible to transfer data when the scale is switched off.
Deleting scale data
To delete all measurements and old user data on the scale, switch on the scale and press and hold the reset
button for three seconds; 'dEL' will appear in the LCD Display.
