9. Usage

9.1 Taking measurements

Place the scale on an even, hard surface; a hard surface is crucial for achieving accurate measure-
ments.
General tips
• As far as possible, weigh yourself at the same time of day (ideally in the morning), after having been to
the toilet, on an empty stomach and without clothing, in order to obtain results which can be compared.
• Important point regarding the measurement: the calculation of body fat may only be made when bare-
foot; the soles of the feet may be lightly dampened where appropriate.
Results may be unsatisfactory if the soles of the feet are completely dry or have a large amount of hard
skin since conductivity will be impaired.
• Stand up straight and still during the measurement.
• Wait a few hours after any physical exertion to which your body is unaccustomed.
• Wait approx. 15 minutes after getting up so that the water stored in the body can disperse.
• Remember that only the long-term trend is important. Short-term changes in weight within a few days
are normally caused by loss of fluids; however, body water plays an important role in terms of well-be-
ing.
