Measuring principle
When you step onto the scale, barefoot, a very low intensity electric current
is transmitted into your body by the electrodes.
This current, transmitted from one foot to the other, comes up against
obstacles when it must pass through fat.
This resistance of the body, called bio-electric impedance, varies according
to your sex, age and height, and from this, the fat mass and its limits can
be determined.
This appliance is entirely safe as it is operates with a very low voltage (1.5 V
batteries).
However, measurements may be distorted in the following cases:
– people with a fever,
– children under 6 (appliance not calibrated under this age),
– pregnant women (perfectly safe however),
– people on dialysis, people with oedemas on the legs, people suffering
from dysmorphia.
Precautions of use
• Always place the scale on a flat & hard floor when your take your
measurement. Avoid carpets and soft surfaces.
• Once you step onto the scale, try to stand still.
• Do not move the appliance when handling the keys.
• Caution: all the data stored in the memories will be lost when
replacing batteries.
• Caution: the use of this appliance is prohibited for persons wearing
pacemakers or any other electronical medical equipment due to
risks of interferences with the electric current.
• The appliance is not a medical device ; it must not be used to
determine weight for medical supervision, diagnosis or treatments
purposes.
Using your bathroom scale
Automatic switch-on when stepping onto the platform.
1 – Selecting your data
When using for the first time, a memory is assigned to you so that the scale
can calculate you fat mass.
You must select your sex, height and age.
Step onto the platform and follow sequence I, pages 3-4.
