Athlete mode

Your scales have a special setting for well trained and muscular people ("athe-
tes"). As muscle cells have a similar bio-electric resistance to fat cells the scales
could interpret muscles as fat. This problem only occurs if the muscle mass is
large; if a person has a normal range of muscles the scales do not measure this
as fat.
The athlete mode prevents this incorrect interpretation. In this mode the actual
body fat values are measured using a different mathematical formula.
