tips
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.
Important when measuring body fat/body water/muscle
percentage:
• If possible, always weighs yourself at the same time of day
(ideally in the morning), after going to the toilet, on an empty
stomach and without clothes to achieve comparable results.
• The measurement may only be carried out while barefoot
and it is helpful if the soles of your feet are slightly damp.
Completely dry soles can result in unsatisfactory results, as
they have insufficient conductivity.
• Stand still during the measurement.
• Wait several hours after unusually strenuous activity.
• Wait approx. 15 minutes after getting out of bed so that the
water in your body can be distributed.
• Remember that only long-term trends are important. Short-
term changes in weight within a few days are usually caused
by a loss of fluid. Body water plays an important role towards
our general wellbeing.
The measurement is not reliable for:
• Children under approx. 10 years of age;
• Professional sporters and bodybuilders;
• Pregnant women;
• Persons with fever, undergoing dialysis, with symptoms of
edema or osteoporosis;
• Persons taking cardiovascular medication.
• Persons taking vascodialating or vascoconstricting
medications;
• Persons with substantial anatomical deviations in the legs
relative to their total height (leg length considerably shorter
or longer than usual).

incorrect measurement
If the scale detects an error during measurement, this is
indicated with Err.
Possible causes of errors
The electrical resistance
between the electrodes
and the soles of your feet
is too high (e.g. with heavily
callused skin).
The fat percentage is outside
the measurable range (less
than 5% or greater than
50%).
The water percentage is
outside the measurable
range (less than 10% or
greater than 80%).
The muscle and bone
percentages are outside the
measurable range - age and
gender related (less than
10% or greater than 80%).
The maximum load-bearing
capacity of 180 kg (397 lb)
was exceeded [Err].

cleaning & maintenance
The scale should be cleaned occasionally. Dirt and dust has
a tendency to collect on the rubber electrodes. Always stand
on the scale barefoot or wearing socks as the rubber surfaces
will quickly become dirty if you wear shoes. Use a damp cloth
to clean the scale. Do not use abrasive detergents and never
immerse the scale in water.
• Do not use aggressive solvents or cleaning agents!
• Never immerse the scale in water or any other liquids.
• Handle the scale with care, protect the scale from impact
with hard object and do not drop it.
Your scale is fitted with a change battery indicator. If the scale is
operating with batteries which are too weak, Lo appears on the
display and the scale will switch off automatically. In this case,
the batteries must be exchanged (2 x CR2032, 3V). If necessary
please use a small screwdriver to remove the batteries.
Batteries can contain toxins that are harmful to health and
the environment. The used, completely drained standard
and rechargeable batteries must be disposed of in specially
marked collection containers, at toxic waste collection points or
electrical product retailers. You are legally obligated to dispose
of the batteries.
Note: Batteries containing pollutants are marked with the
following symbols: Pb = Battery contains lead, Cd = Battery
contains cadmium, Hg = Battery containers mercury.
Causes of error
Repeat weighing barefoot.
Slightly moisten the soles
of your feet if necessary.
Remove the calluses on
the soles of your feet if
necessary.
Repeat weighing barefoot.
Slightly moisten the soles of
your feet if necessary.
