Batteries
Choking hazard
Small children could swallow batteries and suffocate on them. Keep the packaging, batteries and the scale out of the reach of children.
Risk of explosion
Do not throw batteries into a fire.
Batteries must not be charged or short-circuited.
If a battery has leaked, wear protective gloves and clean the battery compartment with a dry cloth. If liquid from a battery cell comes into contact with
skin or eyes, clean the affected area with water and seek medical attention if necessary.
Protect batteries from excessive heat.
Do not disassemble, open or crush batteries.
Safety information concerning the scale
The scale should be cleaned occasionally. Do not use any aggressive cleaners and never immerse the scale in water.
Ensure that no liquid ends up on the scale. Never immerse the scale in water. Never place the scale under running water.
Do not place any objects on the scale when it is not in use.
Protect the scale from bumps, moisture, dust, chemicals, large variations in temperature and proximity to heat sources (ovens, heaters). Do not press
the buttons with force or sharp objects.
Do not expose the scale to high temperatures or strong electromagnetic fields (e.g. mobile telephones).
Only use the scale for the purpose for which it is intended and in the manner described in these instructions for use. Any improper use may be dan-
gerous and lead to injuries.
Do not open or repair the scale yourself because otherwise faultless function cannot be guaranteed. If you do open or repair the scale, the warranty
becomes void.
Disposal information
To protect our environment, empty batteries must not be disposed of in household waste. Please comply with the relevant waste disposal regulations
or use public collection points.
This product is subject to the European Directive 2012/19/EU on Used Electrical and Electronic Equipment and is marked accordingly. Never
dispose of electronic equipment in your household waste. Please obtain information about local regulations on the proper disposal of electrical
and electronic products. Proper disposal protects the environment and human health.

3. Information about weight and physical analysis

The measurement principle
This scale operates using the principle of bioelectric impedance analysis (BIA). Your body composition is determined within seconds using this tech-
nique. By measuring the electrical resistance (impedance) and allowing for constants and individual values (age, height, sex, level of activity), the body
fat percentage and other physical parameters can be determined.
Muscle tissue and water have high conductivity and therefore a low resistance. Bone and fat, on the other hand, have low conductivity because the fat
cells and bone tissue barely conduct any electricity because of their high resistance.
Please note that the values measured on the scale are only an indication of the real medical analytical values for your body. Only a specialist doctor can
precisely determine the percentage of body fat, body water, muscle percentage and bone mass using medical methods (e.g. computed tomography).
General tips
It is best to weigh yourself at the same time of day (in the morning is best), after going to the toilet, before eating and without any clothing to
achieve comparable results.
What is important to note when weighing yourself is that your body fat can only be determined if you are barefoot, and the soles of your feet can be
slightly damp. Completely dry or severely calloused feet can lead to unsatisfactory results because their conductivity is too low.
Stand upright and still while weighing yourself.
Wait a few hours after unusual physical exertion.
Wait about 15 minutes after getting out of bed so that the water in your body is evenly distributed.
What is important is that only the long-term trend counts. Short-term weight variations within a few days are generally caused by loss of fluid; how-
ever, body water is important for your well-being.
