4. Batteries
If provided, pull out the battery insulating strip at the battery compartment or remove the protective film
from the battery and insert the battery with the correct polarity. If the scale fails to operate, remove the
battery completely and reinsert it.
Your scale is provided with a “Change battery” indicator. If the scale is operating with a battery which is
too weak, “ Lo” appears on the display and the scale will switch off automatically. In this case, the battery
must be exchanged (1 x 3 V lithium battery CR2032).
5. Operation
5.1 Measuring weight only
Step onto the scale. Stand still with your weight distributed equally on both feet. The scale begins to take
measurements straight away. If the display appears continuously, the measurement has finished.
If you step off the weighing area, the scale switches off after a few seconds.
5.2 Setting user data
To measure your body fat percentage and other physical data, you must enter your personal user para-
meters.
The scale has 10 memory positions in which you and other members of your family can save and recall
personal settings.
Switch on the scale (tap the standing surface). Wait until the display shows “ 0.0”.
Then press “SET”. The first memory position will appear flashing on the display. Now you can enter the fol-
lowing settings:
Memory position 1 to 10
Body size 100 to 220 cm (3‘-03“ to 7‘-03“)
Age 10 to100 years
Sex male ( ), female ( )
Degree of activity 1 to 5
You can enter the relevant settings with short or long pressure on the up button or down button .
Confirm the settings in each case by pressing “SET”.
The values you’ve just set are displayed again consecutively. The scale then automatically switches off.
Degree of activity
Selection of the degree of activity must refer to the medium and long term.
– Degree of activity 1: No physical activity.
– Degree of activity 2: Low physical activity.
A small amount of light physical effort (e.g. short walks, light garden work, gymnastic exercises).
– Degree of activity 3: Medium physical activity.
Physical effort for 30 minutes at least 2 to 4 times a week.
– Degree of activity 4: High physical activity.
Physical effort for 30 minutes at least 4 to 6 times a week.
– Degree of activity 5: Very high physical activity.
Intensive physical effort, intensive training or hard physical work for at least one hour daily.
5.3 Taking measurements
After all parameters have been entered, you can now measure your weight, body fat and the other data.
– Switch on the scale (tap the standing surface). Wait until the display shows “ 0.0”.
– Press the “USER” button and select the memory space where you would like to save your basic perso-
nal data by pressing the “up” or “down” button the appropriate number of times. These are displa-
yed in sequence until “ 0.0” and the selected gender appear.
– Step onto the scale barefoot and make sure you’re standing on both electrodes. First your body weight
is determined and displayed.
– Remain standing on the scale; now the body fat and body water analysis is performed. This can take a
few seconds.
