• Always weigh yourself on the same scale each day at the same time, preferably undressed and before breakfast.
To get the best results from your scale, weigh yourself twice, and if the two weights are different from each
other, your weight is between the two readings.
Wait for about 15 minutes after getting up, so that the water can distribute itself around your body.
• The surface of the scale can be slippery, if wet.
• Should an error occur during the analysis of your basal metabolic rate, of your percentage of fat, water and
skeletal musculature, the scale switches off automatically. Caution! The function of measurement of the
percentage of body fat, water and skeletal musculature, as well as of the basal metabolic rate can be used
only by people with an age ranging from 10 to 100 years and with a height ranging from 100 to 220 cm.
• The precision of the data detected by the scale can be altered in the following cases:
a) a high alcohol level
b) a high level of caffeine or drugs
c) after an intense sports activity
d) during an illness
e) during pregnancy
f) after heavy meals
g) in presence of dehydration problems
h) your personal data (height, age, sex) have not been input correctly
i) if you have wet or dirty feet
j) persons with swollen legs
Warning!
The percentage of body fat and water, as well as of skeletal musculature and the value of the basal
metabolic rate are to be considered merely indicative.For any further information, refer to a doctor or
dietician.
FITNESS
In order to determine your datas in the most correct way, this scale will take into consideration not only your
weight, height, age and sex, but it will also take into account your life-style and the level of the physical activity
that you practice. For this reason, when you input your personal data you should choose among the 3 different
FITNESS LEVELS.
Fit 1:
this category includes all sedentary people who in the last months have not carried out any physical activity or
have practiced it at moderate level, less than twice a week for less than 15 minutes during each session.
This level may be selected by those people who want to start a diet together with physical activity aimed at reducing
the fat body mass. The Fit 1 level is to be utilized for approximately 6/10 weeks from the start of your training
program/diet.
Fit 2:
This category includes all people who regularly practice physical activities (from 3 to 5 times per week, at least
20 minutes during each session). The Fit 2 level is to be utilized approximately for 8/12 weeks.
Fit 3:
This category includes people (athletes, sportsmen) who carry out an intense daily physical activity (5 times or
more per week) and that have developed flexibility, resistance and strength in time.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
a. How to insert batteries
This scale operates with one replaceable lithium battery. When the battery is dead the display shows “LO” or the
battery symbol. Insert a new battery with the positive pole upwards.
Remove the battery if the scale is not used for long periods of time.
Remove the run down battery by lifting the cover of the battery compartment located on the bottom of the device.
Extract the battery and dispose it as special waste at the specific collection points forecast for recycling. For more
information about the disposal of run down batteries, please contact either the store where the device containing
the batteries was purchased, or the Municipality, or the waste disposal local service.
Caution: For greater safety, children younger than 12 years should not remove the batteries.
b. Unit of measure key
Found at the bottom of the scale, this key allows you to choose the unit of measure for weighing: Kg/lbs/st.
With the scale switched off, select the measuring unit (kg, lb or st) via the key on the bottom of the scale.
c. Use as simple scale
1) Enable the scale touching it on the centre of the same.
(see fig. 1)
2) Wait a few seconds and when “0.0” appears on the display screen, the scale is ready for use.
3) Step onto the scale and wait without moving; after a few seconds, the display screen will show your weight.
Do not lean on anything while being weighed as this could alter the reading.
4) Step off the scale, the display screen will continue to show your weight for a few seconds then it will turn itself
off automatically.
Each time the scale is moved and then returned to its resting surface, the first weight must not be
considered due to reorganization of the electronic board with the loading cells. Consider the second
and successive weights as in certain cases the first one could be altered for the reason mentioned
above.
d. How to input personal data
This scale may memorize the data of 10 different persons.
1) With switched-off scale, press the key SET.
2) “P-01” will flash on the display screen, indicating the “01” person: if you wish to change the memory location
(memories from 01 to 10), press the “▲ ” or “▼ ” symbols. Once you have selected the memory location,
confirm by pressing SET.
3) Insert your height (from 100 cm to 220 cm) using the “▲ ” or “▼ ” symbols to increase or decrease the value.
The display screen will give the value in cm or ft. Press SET to confirm.
4) Use the “▲ ” or “▼ ” symbols again to insert age (from 10 to 100) and then confirm by pressing SET.
5) Continue by pressing the “▲ ” or “▼ ” symbols to define your sex. Confirm by pressing SET.
6) At this point the display will show the FIT 1 sign.
Use the “▲ ” and “▼ ” buttons to set the FITNESS level corresponding to your lifestyle and the physical activity
you are carrying out (see the FITNESS paragraph).
To confirm press the SET button.
7) Now the scale has memorized all your data; the display will show them in sequence in order for you to verify
that they have been input correctly.
At this point the scale will turn off by itself.
To change the data inserted, recall the relevant memory location and repeat the whole procedure.
To insert another person’s data, select a free memory location and repeat the whole procedure described above.
Warning! when you are inside the function “personal data input” the scale will turn off automatically if no button
is pressed within 10 seconds.
e. Calculation of weight, body fat and water percentage.
1) With switched-off scale, press the key USER.
2) The display shows “P-01”; now press the USER button again to set your memory section.
The display will show you all your data and then “0.0”.
3) Step on the scale making sure you place your naked feet over the two electrodes.
The display will show the following data in sequence:
- weight
- the “bf %” (bodyfat) sign
- the percentage of fat in your body
- the “H20 %” sign
- the percentage of water in your body
- the text “br”
- the calories related to the basal metabolic rate
- the text “M %”
- the percentage of skeletal musculature present in your body.
Compare the obtained fat percentage (Bf) with the parameters quoted in the “body-fat table”: should the value
be outside the normal values, refer to your doctor. Assess the percentage of water (H20) according to paragraph
“% of water”, the percentage of musculature according to paragraph ”% of skeletal musculature”, the value
of basal metabolic rate according to the paragraph “basal metabolic rate”.
4) The scale will turn off automatically after about 10 seconds.
Warning!
If the display is not on “0.0”, it will not be possible to figure out your weight and calculate the fat and water
percentage. If the “ERR” sign turns on, it means that an error has taken place during the measurement.
Start the entire procedure again from the very beginning.
