GB INSTRUCTION MANUAL
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
To avoid breakdown during use read this guide carefully before operating the appliance. Mishandling can
cause breakdown of the appliance.
Only for private use. The appliance is not designed for industrial or commercial use.
Do not lubricate the built-in mechanism of the scale.
Do not expose the scale to shocking.
Do not overload the scale.
If the product has been exposed to temperatures below 0ºC for some time it should be kept at room
temperature for at least 2 hours before turning it on.
The manufacturer reserves the right to introduce minor changes into the product design without prior notice,
unless such changes influence significantly the product safety, performance, and functions.
SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS.
ATTENTION: If the glass surface is wet or covered with the drops of water, wipe the appliance dry to avoid
falling.
Handle the appliance with care as it is a precision measurement mechanism. Do not drop the appliance or
jump on it.
When carrying or storing the appliance leave it in a flat position.
The body fat analyzer is not suitable for the following categories of consumers:
Children under 10 years and adults over 80 years of age.
Persons with the following symptoms: fever, oedema, osteoporosis.
Persons undergoing dialysis.
Persons using a pacemaker.
Persons taking cardiovascular medication.
Pregnant women
Athletes performing intensive vigorous exercise over 5 hours a day.
Persons with heart rate of under 60 beats per minute.
Attention: Not recommended for people using a pacemaker or any other medical implant with electronic
components. This could threaten the output ratio of the implant and deteriorate its performance.
The appliance operates properly only when you step on it with bare dry feet.
PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
The principle behind this scale is bioelectrical impedance analysis (B.I.A.). The measurement of the
percentage of different tissues occurs within seconds with electric current, which is not perceptible for a
human, safe and harmless. Based on the results of the electrical impedance measurement, a number of
human body constants and individual features (age, height, sex) it is possible to determine the percentage of
body fat and other parameters of a human body.
Muscular tissue and water are characterized by good electric conductivity, and thus – insignificant electrical
resistance.
On the contrary, bones and adipose tissue possess low electric conductivity, as fatty tissue cells and bones do
not virtually conduct electric current due to extremely high resistance.
One should keep in mind that the measurements obtained with diagnostic scale provide only rough, imperfect
data as compared to the results of real medical tests. Only a healthcare professional employing medical
methods (for example, computer tomography) can determine the percentage of body fat, water, muscle mass
and bones accurately.
If, when measuring the percentage of fat, muscle tissue, bone and water content, the obtained sum of all
components has become greater than 100%, this is not a sign of scale defect. It can be explained from the
physiological point of view. Operation of the diagnostic scale is based on the analysis of bioimpedance, which
determines the amount of fat and water in muscle and bone tissues themselves. Thus the variation of different
parameters should be taken into account separately from each other, without summarizing the obtained
results.
OPERATION
GETTING STARTED
Open a special battery compartment at the bottom of the scale, remove the protective film. Close the
compartment. The scale is ready to operate.
By default the scale is set to kilos «kg». There is a switch on the rear panel of the scale, for selecting pounds
«lb» as units of measurement.
Place the scale onto a firm level surface. Do not place the scale on soft carpets.
Push ON to switch the scale on.
Wait for some seconds until "0.0 kg” is displayed.
If you step on the scale before “0.0” appear, the “Err” message will appear on the display. In this case step off
the scale, wait until it switches off and switch it on again.
ENTERING PERSONAL DATA
Push the SET button. An available storage location will be displayed – a user name, for example USER 01.
Confirm your choice by pushing SET or select another free user by pushing UP/DOWN buttons, for example,
USER 02. Push SET to change to other settings.
