• If your weight increases over the medium term and the body fat percentage falls or stays the same, then
you could have built up valuable muscle mass.
If your weight and body fat percentage fall simultaneously then your diet is working – you are losing fat
mass. Ideally you should support your diet with physical activity, fitness or power training. By this means,
you can increase your muscle percentage over the medium term.
7. Incorrect measurement
If the scale detects an error during weighing, “ ” or “ ” appears in the display.
If you step onto the scale before “ 0.0” appears in the display, the scale will not operate properly.
Possible causes of error:
– The maximum load-bearing capacity of 150 kg
(330 lbs) was exceeded.
Remedy:
– Only weigh the maximum permissible weight.
– The electrical resistance between the electrodes
and the soles of your feed is too high (e.g. with
heavily callused skin).
– Repeat weighing barefoot. Slightly moisten the
soles of your feet if necessary. Remove the cal-
luses on the soles of your feet if necessary.
– Your body fat lies outside the measurable range
(less than 3 % or greater than 55 %).
– Repeat weighing barefoot.
– Slightly moisten the soles of your feet if neces-
sary.
– Your percentage of water lies outside the mea-
surable range (less than 25 % or greater than
75 %)
– Repeat weighing barefoot.
– Slightly moisten the soles of your feet if necessary.
