10. Operation
Measuring weight
1. Switching on the scale
• Press the [
] button on the control unit.
0.0 kg appears on the dis-
play. The scale is now ready
for measurement.
2. Weighing (without diagnosis)
Set up the scale on a level and solid surface. A sol-
id surface is a prerequisite for a correct measurement.
• Now step onto the scale. The indicator [3] on the
scale lights up green.
Stand still with your weight distribut-
ed evenly on both legs. Stand with
your feet as far apart as possible with-
out tipping the scales.
If you hold the control unit in your hands, its weight
(300 grammes) is automatically deducted.
Once the measurement has been taken, the result will
be displayed for approximately 10 seconds.
When you step off the scale, the scale will switch off
after a few seconds. The indicator [3] goes out. The
measurement is not saved.
Carrying out an analysis
1. Switching on the scale
• Press the [
] button on the control unit.
0.0 kg appears on the dis-
play.
2. Diagnostics
• Switch the device on and select your user number
from 1 to 10 by pressing the right-hand button [ ].
To do so, press the button repeatedly if necessary.
• Press the [SET] button or wait 3 seconds. The meas-
urement screen is shown on the display.
If you activate the “guest” user, you must re-en-
ter the user data before each measurement. User data
and measurement values are not saved in guest mode.
You have the option of switching guest mode on or off,
see page 18.
• Now step barefoot onto the scale and hold the con-
trol unit firmly in your hands. (If you hold the control
unit in your hands, its weight (300 grammes) is au-
tomatically deducted.)
• Hold the control unit with the lower part of your
thumb pressed firmly on the front electrodes and
your fingers pressed firmly on the rear electrodes.
Following the weight measurement, impedance is
measured for the analysis. The upper body is
measured by the 4 electrodes on the control
unit, the lower body by the 4 electrodes on the
scale. This is indicated by the symbol of the cur-
rent flowing through the body.
Important:
Stand still with your weight distributed evenly on both
legs. Please note that there must be no skin contact
between feet, legs, calves and thighs. Otherwise the
measurement will not be performed correctly. To pre-
vent skin contact, you can wear, for example, a light-
weight pair of trousers.
