time, preferably undressed and before breakfast. To get the
best results from your scale, weigh yourself twice, and if the
two weights are different from each other, your weight is
between the two readings. Wait for about 15 minutes after
getting up, so that the water can distribute itself around your
body.
• The surface of the scale can be slippery, if wet.
• If an error occurs during the analysis of your body fat and water
percentage, the scale will turn off itself automatically.

Fitness

In order to determine your body fat percentage in the most correct
way, this scale will take into consideration not only your weight,
height, age, and sex, but it will also take into account your life-
style and the level of the physical activity that you practice.
For this reason, when you input your personal data you should
choose among the 3 different FITNESS LEVELS.
• Fit 1:
This category includes all sedentary people who in the last
months have not carried out any physical activity or have prac-
tised it at moderate level, less than twice a week for less than
15 minutes during each session.
This level may be selected by those people who want to start a
diet together with physical activity aimed at reducing the fat
body mass. The Fit 1 level is to be utilized for approximately 6/
10 weeks from the start of your training program/diet.
• Fit 2:
This category includes all people who regularly practice phys-
ical activities (from 3 to 5 times per week, at least 20 minutes
during each session). The Fit 2 level is to be utilized approxi-
mately for 8/12 weeks.
• Fit 3:
This category includes people (athletes, sportsmen) who carry
out an intense daily physical activity (5 times or more per week)
and that have developed flexibility, resistance, and strength in
time.
