• Take the appliance and accessories out the box. Remove the stickers, protective
oil or plastic from the device. • The device can only function correctly if you stand on
the contact surface with bare, dry feet! • The main principle of this device is based
on the measurement of the electric impedance within the human body. In order to
determine the actual body data, the device leads a weak, unnoticeable electric signal
through your body. • This signal is generally safe! However, please read our special
safety instructions! • The method of measurement is referred to as "bioelectric
impedance analysis" (BIA), a factor which is based on the relationship between
body weight and associated body water percentages as well as on other biological
data(age, gender, body weight). • There are heavy persons with a well-balanced
percentage between fat and muscle mass, and there are seemingly slim persons with
