The appliance is designed for domestic use only. Do not use the appliance on a carpet or rug. Always use the appliance on an even, hard floor. This ensures more exact measurement readings. Stand on the section of the glass surface supported with a silver frame and keep at least 2 cm away from the edge. Be careful when doing this. Step onto the appliance carefully with only the left foot or the right foot, placing it on the section of the glass surface supported by the silver frame. Make sure you keep a minimum of 2 cm away from the edge. Then place your other foot on and position it in the same way on the other side of the glass surface. Be very careful when doing this. Position your bodyweight in the middle of the appliance before you take one foot off it. Always make sure the appliance cannot tip over, as there is a risk of injury. Never use the appliance outdoors. Do not use the appliance during a thunderstorm. Do not continue to use the appliance if a malfunction occurs. Do not continue to use the appliance if there are any cracks or chips in the glass plate. Do not place any objects on the glass surface.

Do not open the appliance under any circumstances. No warranty claims are accepted for damage resulting from improper handling.

Caution The appliance may not be used by the following groups of people:
7

Pregnant women and children under the age of 18 (the exact body mass index cannot be determined in these cases). The appliance works out your body mass index using BIA (Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis). This sends a harmless signal through the body. The appliance is not suitable for people who are fitted with a pacemaker or with any other medical implants. If in doubt, seek medical advice.

Notes on measurements
Total body water
Water is an essential part of the body. The amount of water in the body may vary between 45% and 60%. It helps all the essential biochemical reactions necessary for normal bodily functions. Water transports waste products out of the cells and discharges them in sweat and urine. Water also maintains a constant body temperature. The amount of water in the body depends on the proportion of water loss, for example due to heat or physical activity and sweating. Therefore, it is very important to ensure and check the proportion of water in the body and ensure that it remains constant.

Notes on operating and cleaning

Mounting the control unit on the wall

1 Fix the bracket on the wall making sure the raised magnet strip is facing outwards. 2 Place the control unit with the magnetic recess on the brackets raised magnetic strip.

The maximum load of the scale is 180 kg. The following appears in the display if the maximum load is exceeded. Get off the glass surface immediately.

We i g h t

--0 - Ld

If the results of the analysis exceed the scales LC display, then Err appears in the display. Afterwards the scale switches off automatically. The scale and the detachable control unit should not be more than two to three metres apart. The signal transmission is poor from a distance of three metres. The scale is equipped with an automatic off function to preserve the battery. It switches off automatically if the operation is interrupted for more than 15 seconds. If you would like a more accurate measurement, do not use the scale straight after drinking coffee, beer, wine or other alcoholic beverages. The same applies to heavy physical exertion. These factors reduce the amount of water in body tissue (dehydrogenation). Wait a few hours in this case. Clean the scale and the control unit with a damp cloth. Do not use any cleaning agents. Do not submerge the appliances in water.
