• Repairs may only be carried out by Inventum customer service or authorized dealers. Before submitting any complaint, first check the batteries
and replace them if necessary.
• If you decide never to use the appliance again, we advise you to dispose of it in special containers or at a municipal waste collection point.
• Never immerse the scale in water or other liquids.
• The device is only for private use and is not intended for medical or commercial purposes.
• The scale can accept a maximum load of 150 kg (330 lb, 24St). The weight measurement is displayed in increments of 100 g (0.2lb, ¼St). The
measuring results for the body fat, body water and muscle percentages are displayed in 0.1% increments.
• On delivery the scale is set to the units "cm" and "kg". A switch located on the back of the scale enables you to change to "inch", "pound" and
"stones" (lb, St).
• If the appliance is used for other purposes than intended, or is it not handled in accordance with the instruction manual, the full responsibility for
any consequences will rest with the user. Any damages to the product or other things are not covered by the warranty.

Interesting facts
The measuring principle of the diagnostic scale
This scale determines the body weight, bodyfat, body water and the percentage of muscle according to the principle of Bioelectric
Impedance Analysis (BIA). With this process, an imperceptible, completely safe and harmless current enables the determination
of body tissue proportions within seconds. This measurement of electrical resistance (impedance) and the inclusion of constants
and/or individual values (age, height, sex, activity levels) can be used to determine the percentage of fat, water and muscle in the body. Muscle
tissue and water have good electrical conductivity, as the fat cells hardly conduct the current due to their very high resistance.
Weighing correctly
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. Only the long-term trend counts.
Stand on the scale without moving and with equal weight distribution on both feet!
Minor deviations are normal. When you drink 1 glass of water for exemple a difference of 300 grams can occur.
Do not stand on the scale with wet feet and do not step on the scale when its surface is wet – danger of slipping! Place the scale on a firm, flat
surface; a firm floor covering is a basic requirement for correct weight measurement.
Before operation
Before you use the appliance for the first time, please do as follows: carefully unpack the appliance and remove all the packaging material.
Keep the material (plastic bags and cardboard) out of reach of children. Check the appliance after unpacking for any damage, possible from
transportation. If present, pull the battery insulating strip off the battery compartment cover or remove the battery's protective film and insert the
battery according to the polarity.
Batteries
Your scale is equipped with a replace battery indicator. when the scale is operated with a battery which is too weak, "Lo"
appears in the display field and the scale automatically switches off. The battery must be replaced in this case (2 x 3V lithium
battery, CR2032).
If the scale fails to operate, remove the battery completely and insert it again. 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.
Measuring weight only
• Quickly and firmly tap the standing surface of your scale with your foot. The entire display (Fig. 1) appears up
to "0.0" (Fig. 2) as a self-test (tap-on technology).
• Now the scale is ready to measure your weight.
• Stand on the scale without moving about and distribute your weight evenly on both legs.
• The scale immediately begins to measure your weight.
• Your measured weight is displayed shortly after this (Fig. 3). The scale switches off a few seconds after you step
down from it.
