BASAL METABOLIC RATE (BMR) - WHAT DOES IT MEAN? Your Basal Metabolic
Rate (BMR) is an estimation of the energy (measured in calories) expended by the
body, at rest, to maintain normal body functions.This continual work makes up
about 60-70% of the calories the body uses, and includes the beating of your heart,
respiration, and the maintenance of body temperature.Your BMR is influenced by a
number of factors, including age, weight, height, gender, dieting and exercise habits.
QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
How exactly is my body fat and water being measured? This Salter Scale uses
a measurement method known as Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA). A minute
current is sent through your body, via your feet and legs. This current flows easily
through the lean muscular tissue, which has a high fluid content, but not easily
through fat. Therefore, by measuring your body's impedance (i.e. its resistance to the
current), the quantity of muscle can be determined. From this, the quantity of fat and
water can then be estimated.
What is the value of the current passing through me when the measurement
is taken? Is it safe? The current is less than 1mA, which is tiny and perfectly safe.
You will not be able to feel it. Please note however, that this device should not be
used by anyone with an internal electronic medical device, such as a pacemaker, as a
precaution against disruption to that device.
If I measure my body fat and water at different times during the day, it can
vary quite considerably. Which value is correct? Your body fat percentage
reading varies with body water content, and the latter changes throughout the course
of the day. There is no right or wrong time of the day to take a reading, but aim to
take measurements at a regular time when you consider your body to be normally
hydrated. Avoid taking readings after having a bath or sauna, following intensive
exercise, or within 1-2 hours of drinking in quantity or eating a meal.
My friend has a Body Fat Analyser made by another manufacturer.
When I used it I found that I got a different body fat reading. Why is this?
Different Body Fat Analysers take measurements around different parts of the body
and use different mathematic algorithms to calculate the percentage of body fat.
The best advice is to not make comparisons from one device to another, but to use
the same device each time to monitor any change.
How do I interpret my body fat and water percentage readings? Please refer
to the Body Fat and Water tables included with the product. They will guide you as
to whether your body fat and water reading falls into a healthy category (relative to
your age and sex).
What should I do if my body fat reading is very 'high? A sensible diet, fluid
intake and exercise program can reduce your body fat percentage. Professional
medical guidance should always be sought before embarking on such a program.
Why are the body fat percentage ranges for men and women so different?
Women naturally carry a higher percentage of fat than men, because the make-up of
the body is different being geared towards pregnancy, breastfeeding etc.
What should I do if my water percentage reading is 'low'? Ensure that you are
regularly taking sufficient water and work towards moving your fat percentage into
the healthy range.
Why should I avoid using the Body Analyser Scale whilst pregnant? During pregnancy
a woman's body composition changes considerably in order to support the developing
child. Under these circumstances, body fat percentage readings could be inaccurate
and misleading. Pregnant women should therefore only use the weight function.
ADVICE FOR USE AND CARE Always weigh yourself on the same scale placed on
the same floor surface. Do not compare weight readings from one scale to another
as some differences will exist due to manufacturing tolerances. • Placing your
scale on a hard, even floor will ensure the greatest accuracy and consistency. • It
is recommended that you measure at the same time of the day, preferably early
evening before a meal for the most consistent results. • Your scale rounds up or
down to the nearest increment. If you weigh yourself twice and get two different
readings, your weight lies between the two. • Clean your scale with a damp cloth.
Do not use chemical cleaning agents. • Do not allow your scale to become saturated
with water as this can damage the electronics. • Treat your scale with care - it is
a precision instrument. Do not drop it or jump on it. • Caution: the platform may
become slippery when wet.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE You must have bare feet when using body fat and total
body water measurements. • The condition of your skin on the bottom of your feet
can affect the reading. To get the most accurate and consistent reading, wipe your
feet with a damp cloth, leaving them slightly moist before stepping on the scale.

PRÉCISION ULTIME Ce pèse-personne de Salter Ultimate Accuracy une graduation
par 50 g pour une mesure très précise du poids.
COMMENT FONCTIONNE CE PESE-PERSONNE SALTER ? Ce pèse-personne Salter
a été conçu sur le modèle technologique d'analyse de la bio impédance qui consiste
à faire passer une impulsion électrique infime à travers le corps, cette dernière étant
complètement anodine et inoffensive, afin de différencier le tissu adipeux du tissu
maigre. Le contact avec le corps s'effectue via des supports en acier inoxydable
situés sur le plateau du pèse-personne.
Cette méthode calcule simultanément votre poids, votre masse lipidique, votre
masse aqueuse, votre indice de masse corporelle (IMC), votre taux métabolique
basal (TMB) et votre masse musculaire, ce qui vous permet d'obtenir un résultat
plus précis sur votre état de santé général et sur votre forme. Ce pèse-personne
affichera également le poids, la masse lipidique et la masse aqueuse des enfants
et adolescents âgés de 6 à 17 ans. La masse musculaire, l'IMC et leTMB ne sont pas
indiqués pour cette tranche d'âge. Ce pèse-personne est capable de mémoriser les
données personnelles de 12 utilisateurs différents. Bien que cet appareil soit un
analyseur, il peut aussi être utilisé comme pèse-personne ordinaire.
NOUVELLE FONCTIONNALITÉ Ce pèse-personne intègre notre fonction pesage
rapide pratique. Dès les paramètres mémorisés, il suffit de monter sur le plateau
pour lancer l'appareil – plus d'attente!
PRÉPARATION DE L' A PPAREIL 1. Ouvrir le compartiment batterie situé au dos de
l'appareil. 2. Retirez la languette isolante de sous les piles (si elles sont installées)
ou insérez les piles en respectant les polarités (+ et -) indiquées à l'intérieur du
compartiment des piles. 3. Fermer le compartiment batterie. 4. Sélectionner le
mode de calcul du poids (kg, st ou lb) à l'aide du bouton à la base de l'appareil.
5. Pour une utilisation sur revêtement moquette, fixer les pieds pour tapis. 6. Placer
le pèse-personne sur une surface plane et stable.
MISE EN ROUTE DE L' A PPAREIL 1. Appuyez sur le centre du plateau avec votre pied
puis retirez-le. 2. '0.0' s'affiche. 3. L'appareil est mis hors tension et prêt à fonctionner.
Ce processus d'initialisation doit être répété en cas de déplacement de
l'appareil. Sinon, il suffit de monter sur le plateau.
UTILISATION DE L' A PPAREIL 1. Montez sur le plateau et attendez sans bouger que
