Performing bioelectric impedance analysis (BIA)
Switching on the device
1. Ensure that the device has no load.
2. Press the ON/OFF button.
The start screen appears.
The
weight/height
tab is active.
Determining the weight and height
♦ Determine the weight and height as described in section „Determining
the weight and height“ from page 27.
Checking the module selection
1. Activate the
bia
tab.
The bioelectric impedance analysis is available when the message
“Self-test running” is no longer displayed.
The
module selection
dialog window appears. All modules are
activated in the factory (except raw data for impedance).
NOTE:
If the module selection does not appear, the function “Show the
module selection at the start of the measurement procedure” is
deactivated in the
settings
menu. You can reactivate this function
or check the module selection directly in the
settings
menu (see
“Configuring device” on page 61).
2. Check the module selection.
3. Deactivate modules for which no measurements are to be
performed.
NOTE:
• If you activate the
Raw data for impedance
module, the duration of
the BIA measurement is extended. Activate the
Raw data for
impedance
module if you wish to use the measured results for
scientific studies. The impedance data for up to 19 frequencies
are available in the
analysis
tab.
• If you deactivate the
Energy
evaluation module, there is no
request for the Physical Activity Level (PAL) following a BIA
measurement.
4. Press the
continue
button.
