Operation Manual

This scale has a trend display, which compares the current
measured value with the average calculated from the last
5 measurements.
Display Meaning
Current value is higher than the average of the
last 5 measurements.
Current value is lower than the average of the
5 measurements.
Current value is the same as the average of
the last 5 measurements.
Important: Note that trends are only displayed for body
weight, body fat, body water and muscle proportion.
Requirement: at least 5 measured values must be saved.
The values for body weight, body fat, body water and
muscle percentage appear
in a graphic display,
the bar indicates the
interpretation.
• 1 - Values low: Bar positioned on the left (-).
• 2 - Values normal: Bar positioned in the centre (see
the illustration above).
• 3 - Values high: Bar positioned on the right (+).
Your weight is compared in the BMI (Body Mass Index). The
following formula calculates your weight:
BMI = weight in kg/ (body size in m)

.
Underweight Normal weight Overweight
< 20 20 - 25 > 25
If your BMI is greater than 25, an symbol appears next
to the interpretation bar.
Tip: Reassess your eating habits and change your diet.
Remember that the BMI interpretation always rates
extremely muscular bodies (such as bodybuilders) as
overweight because the BMI formula does not take into
account the extremely high muscle mass.
The following body fat percentages are guide values
(contact your physician for further information).

A lower value is often found in athletes. Depending
on the type of sports, training intensity and physical
constitution, values may result which are below the
recommended values states. It should, however, be noted
that there could be a danger to health in the case of
extremely low values.
The body water percentage is normally within the
following ranges:
Man
Age poor good very good
10-100 < 50 50-65 > 65
Woman
Age poor good very good
10-100 < 45 45-60 > 60
Body fat contains relatively little water. Therefore
persons with a high body fat percentage have body water
percentages below the recommended values. With
