on the
electrodes. First your body weight is determined and displayed.
–
Remain standing on the scale; now the body fat and body water analysis is
performed
(Fig. 9)
. This can take a few seconds.
Important: Your feet, legs, calves and thighs must not touch each other, as
otherwise the measurement cannot be performed correctly.
The following data are displayed:
–
Body fat percentage in % (Fig. 10)
–
Water percentage in % (Fig. 11)
–
Muscle percentage in % (Fig. 12)
–
Now all measured values are displayed consecutively and the scale swit-
ches off.
2.4 Tips for using the scale
Important when measuring body fat/body water/muscle percentage:
–
The measurement may only be carried out while barefoot and it is helpful if the soles of your feet are
slightly damp. Completely dry soles can result in unsatisfactory results, as they have insufficient con-
ductivity.
–
Stand still during the measurement.
–
Wait several hours after unusually strenuous activity.
–
Wait approx. 15 minutes after getting out of bed so that the water in your body can be distributed.
The measurement is not reliable for:
–
Children under approx. 10 years of age.
–
Persons with fever, undergoing dialysis, with symptoms of edema or osteoporosis.
–
Persons taking cardiovascular medication. Persons taking vascodialating or vascoconstricting medica-
tions.
–
Persons with substantial anatomical deviations in the legs relative to their total height (leg length con-
siderably shorter or longer than usual).
