Sanitas SBG 19 Glass Diagnostic Scale

Introduction

This manual provides essential instructions for the safe and effective use of your Sanitas SBG 19 Glass Diagnostic Scale. This device is designed to measure body weight and perform diagnostic functions such as body fat percentage. Please read these instructions carefully before first use and keep them for future reference.

Safety Information

• The scale is intended for personal use only.
• Do not use the scale if you have a medical implant (e.g., pacemaker). The diagnostic function uses a bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) which may interfere with such devices.
• Pregnant women, children under 10, and individuals with acute medical conditions should not use the diagnostic function.
• Place the scale on a firm, level surface. Uneven surfaces can affect accuracy.
• Step onto the scale with bare, dry feet for accurate diagnostic measurements.
• Do not step on the scale with wet feet or when the surface is wet, as this may cause slipping.
• Protect the scale from impacts, moisture, dust, chemicals, extreme temperature fluctuations, and heat sources.
• Repairs should only be carried out by authorized service personnel.

Getting Started

1. Unpacking

Carefully remove the scale from its packaging. Inspect the device for any signs of damage. If damaged, do not use it and contact your retailer.

2. Battery Installation

The Sanitas SBG 19 scale operates on batteries. Locate the battery compartment on the underside of the scale. Open the compartment cover, insert the required batteries (type and quantity usually indicated inside the compartment) ensuring correct polarity (+/-). Close the battery compartment securely.

3. Initial Placement

Place the scale on a hard, flat, and stable surface, such as a tiled or wooden floor. Avoid placing it on carpets or uneven surfaces, as this can affect measurement accuracy.

Operating Instructions

1. Setting Up User Profiles

For diagnostic measurements, you need to set up a personal user profile. This typically involves entering your age, height, gender, and activity level. Refer to the specific buttons (e.g., SET, UP, DOWN) on your scale or its underside to navigate the menu and save your data. The scale can usually store multiple user profiles.

1. Press the 'SET' or 'MODE' button to enter setup mode.
2. Use the 'UP' or 'DOWN' arrows to select a user memory slot (e.g., P1, P2).
3. Confirm your selection and then enter your personal data (height, age, gender, activity level) using the arrow buttons and confirming each entry.
4. Once all data is entered, the scale will save the profile.

2. Taking a Weight Measurement

To measure only your weight, simply step onto the scale with dry feet. The scale will automatically turn on and display your weight. Step off once the reading stabilizes.

3. Taking a Diagnostic Measurement

For diagnostic measurements (body fat, body water, muscle percentage), ensure your user profile is selected.

1. Tap the scale lightly with your foot to turn it on.
2. Select your user profile (if not automatically detected) by pressing the appropriate user button or cycling through profiles.
3. Step onto the scale with bare, dry feet, ensuring your feet are positioned correctly on the electrodes (metal pads).
4. Stand still. The scale will first display your weight, then cycle through your diagnostic values (e.g., body fat percentage, body water percentage, muscle percentage).
5. Step off the scale once all readings have been displayed. The scale will usually turn off automatically after a few seconds.

4. Understanding Your Results

The scale provides various body composition metrics. These values are estimates and should be interpreted in conjunction with other health indicators. Consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice.

• Body Weight: Your total body mass.
• Body Fat Percentage: The proportion of fat in your body.
• Body Water Percentage: The proportion of water in your body.
• Muscle Percentage: The proportion of muscle mass in your body.

Care and Maintenance

• Cleaning: Clean the scale regularly with a damp cloth and a mild detergent if necessary. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or immerse the scale in water.
• Storage: Store the scale in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Do not place heavy objects on the scale when not in use.
• Battery Replacement: Replace batteries when the low battery indicator appears on the display. Always replace all batteries at the same time with new ones of the correct type. Dispose of used batteries according to local regulations.
