How Does The Body Analyser Work; Conditions To Use - ADE Melody BA 913 Manual De Instrucciones

Thank you for your decision to purchase this high quality body-analyser scale with music rendering.
Please peruse read this instruction manual prior to first start up and keep this user instruction careful
to have this information on hand whenever needed.

1. How does the body analyser work?

Through this new revolutionary scale, you will be able to get information about your body
composition with reference to your weight, body fat %, body water % and BMI (body mass index).
First of all, you have to enter once your personal data like gender (male / female), body height, and
age under your selected personal memory location. Afterwards a measurement is as simple as on a
normal bathroom scale. You have only to push your personal memory location, step on the scale
and within a few seconds, your measured values will be indicated. The analysis is based on the
measurement of the body' s electrical resistance. A low, safe electrical signal passes freely through
fluids contained in lean tissue, such as muscle and blood, but meets resistance passing through fat
tissue. The body analyser accurately measures the resistance and with reference to your personal
data use it to calculate elements of body composition.

2. Conditions to use

If possible, the measurement should be done undressed but always barefoot.
By nature, a body is subject of fluctuations (for example loss of water after taking exercise or after a
sauna visit, after a meal, etc.). To enable comparable readings it is important to take the
measurements as possible always under the same conditions.
In order to ensure that the results of analysis are accurate and consistent, please keep the
measurement conditions constant always at the same daytime. In the morning, directly after you
have woken up, your body will be dehydrated and also the majority of fluid will be stored in the
central trunk area. This means that the resistance is relatively high because of the poor conductivity
in the body. By intensify moving during the day progresses the fluid becomes more evenly
distributed through the limbs and increasing the accuracy of the readings. To get a realistic result it
is important to take your readings at the same time and under the same conditions every day. The
easiest way to stick the rule, measure always in the morning, 15 minutes after you' ve got up, either
before or after you' ve gone to the bathroom.
In spite of a very low electrical signal, this body analyzer is not suitable for persons with heart
pace maker or other electronic medical implants! There is no risk for persons with none electronic
implant for instance a titanium plate in the knee. However, metal conducts the electric current
extremely well and therefore the scale implicates the body fat value " beautified" – means the actual
body fat value is higher as indicated. However, tendencies may be determined as well.
Due to menstrual cycle and hormonal changes women experience greater changes in their
hydration level. Retaining fluid may cause the weight to fluctuate day-to-day. This will also affect the
body fat percentage readings. If the hydration level is high, the body fat percentage is slightly less –
a less hydration level means the body fat percentage is slightly higher.
There is no healthy risk for pregnancy. The body analyzer is absolute safe for the mother and her
unborn baby. However, due to the changes in water content in the mother' s body, the readings
should not be interpreted as completely accurate.
