Results in relation to time

Note that it is only the long-term trend which counts. Short period fluctuations in weight over a few days

are mostly the result of a loss of fluid.

The interpretation of the results will depend on changes in your:

overall weight and body fat, body water and muscle percentages, as well as on the period during which

these changes take place. Rapid changes within days must be distinguished from medium term changes

(over weeks) and long term changes (months).

A basic rule is that short term changes in weight almost exclusively represent changes in water content,

whereas medium and long term changes may also involve the fat and muscle percentages.

If your weight and body fat percentage fall simultaneously then your diet is working – you are losing fat

mass. Ideally you should support your diet with physical activity, fitness or power training. By this means,

you can increase your muscle percentage over the medium term.

7. Incorrect measurement

If the scale detects an error during measurement, this is indicated with “ ”.

Possible causes of error: Remedy:

The scale was not activated before you stood on it.

If you stand on the scale before “0.0” appears in the

display, the scale will not function correctly.

Activate the scale correctly and repeat the

measurement.

The maximum capacity of 150 kg has been exceeded. Weigh only the maximum permissible weight.

The electrical resistance between the electrodes and

the soles of the feet is too high (e.g. in the case of

thick calluses).

Repeat the measurement barefoot.

If necessary, moisten the soles of your feet

slightly. If necessary, remove the calluses from

the soles of your feet.

You are standing unsteadily on the scale. Keep still while standing on the scale.

The fat percentage is outside the measurable range

(less than 5% or greater than 50%).

Repeat the measurement barefoot or, if neces-

sary, moisten the soles of your feet slightly.

The water percentage is outside the measurable ran-

ge (less than 36% or greater than 70%).

Repeat the measurement barefoot or, if neces-

sary, moisten the soles of your feet slightly.

The muscle and bone percentages are outside the

measurable range (age and gender related).

Repeat the measurement barefoot or, if neces-

sary, moisten the soles of your feet slightly.
