aMr
The active metabolic rate (AMR) is the amount of energy required daily by the body in its active state. The
energy consumption of a human being rises with increasing physical activity and is measured on the diag-
nostic scale in relation to the degree of activity entered (1– 5).
To maintain your existing weight, the amount of energy used must be reintroduced into the body in the
form of food and drink. If less energy is introduced than is used over a longer period of time, your body will
obtain the difference largely from the amount of fat stored and your weight will decrease. If, on the other
hand, over a longer period of time more energy is introduced than the total active metabolic rate (AMR)
calculated, your body will be unable to burn off the excess energy, and the excess will be stored in the
body as fat and your weight will increase.
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 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. 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 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.
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 muscle tissue
also contain body water).

User assignment
It is possible to assign up to 8 scale users for a weight-only measurement (with shoes) and for a diagnosis
measurement (bare feet).
For a new measurement, the scale assigns the measurement to the user whose most recently saved
measurement falls within +/- 2 kg of this and, if a diagnosis was possible, +/- 2% of the body fat.
Unknown measurements
If measurements cannot be assigned to any user, the scale stores them as unknown measurements. Up to
20 unknown measurements are saved on the scale.
You can use the app to directly assign unknown measurements to your user.
saving the assigned measurements on the scale
If the app is open and there is an active Bluetooth connection to the scale, newly assigned measurements
are sent immediately to the app. In this case, the values are not saved on the scale.
If the app is not open, the newly assigned measurements are saved on the scale. A total of 30 measure-
ments per user can be saved on the scale. The saved measurements are transferred automatically to the
app if you open the app within the Bluetooth range.
Data synchronisation takes place within 10 seconds. It is possible to automatically transfer data when the
scale is switched off.
Deleting scale data
If you would like to completely delete all measurements and old user data on the scale, switch on the
scale and press the reset button using a pointed object.
" " will appear in the display for several seconds.
