Getting to know your device
Functions of the device
This digital scale is intended for weighing and providing a diagnosis of your personal fitness data.
It is intended for private use.
The scale is equipped with the following functions, which can be used by up to 10 different people:
• Body weight measurement
• Body fat percentage calculation
• Body water content
• Muscle percentage.
The scale also includes the following additional functions:
• Switch between kilograms "kg", pounds "lbs" and stones "st"
• Automatic switch-off function
• Low battery indicator.
The measurement principle
This scale works on the principle of B.I.A. (bioelectrical impedance analysis). This involves the calculation
of body content in a matter of seconds, using a current that cannot be felt, is completely harmless and
does not pose any risk.
When this measurement of the electrical resistance (impedance) is considered alongside constants and/
or individual values (age, height, gender, activity level), the body fat percentage and other variables in the
body can be calculated. Muscle tissue and water conduct electricity well and therefore have a lower resis-
tance. In contrast, bones and fat tissue have low conductivity as the fat cells and bones are barely able to
conduct the current due to very high levels of resistance.
Please note that the values calculated by the diagnostic bathroom scale only represent an approxima-
tion of the actual medical analytical values for the body. Only a specialist doctor can precisely establish
the body fat, body water, muscle percentage and bone structure using medical methods (e.g. computer
tomography).
