Since people’s body fat percentage is highly
individual, the values shown in Table H on
the fold­out page are only guidelines.
Body water values
The body fat and body water measurements
are influenced by the amount of water in
your body. The water volume is affected by
the time of day, physical exertion, bathing
or showering, menstruation, eating, drinking
and other factors. Illnesses or medications
can also affect the measurement.
Please take a look at Table G on the fold­
out page.
What is muscle mass?
This function displays the computed skeletal
muscle mass (guideline value) in your body.
Human beings have more than 600 muscles.
They play an important role (motion, posture,
etc.) and consume energy. As muscle mass
increases (more activity and exercise), the
consumption of energy (calories) rises and
the body fat percentage decreases.
Please take a look at Table I on the fold­out
page.
What is bone mass?
This function displays the computed bone
mass (guideline value for bone mineral
percentage). The bone mass depends on
your lifestyle. This is why it is important to
eat healthy and exercise regularly.
Please consult a physician regarding your
ideal value.
Note: For the following persons, calculating
the bone mass may not be possible. Use
the values provided by the scales only as a
guideline.
● Elderly people or persons under the age 16
● Women during or after menopause
● Persons receiving hormone therapy
● Women who are breastfeeding
Please take a look at Table J on the fold­out
page.
Athlete mode
Since scientific studies have shown that the
body composition of competitive athletes
varies significantly from recreational
athletes and people who don’t exercise,
you can set the scales to normal or athlete
mode. To select athlete mode, you should
actively train for at least 8–10 hours per
week, practice enhanced resistance training
(if you lift weights), and have a resting pulse
rate of 60 beats per minute or less.
Cleaning the appliance
Never immerse the scales in water.
Do not use a steam cleaner.
Wipe the scales with a damp cloth; do not
use scouring agents.
