Operating the Scale

1. Taking a Measurement

1. Place the scale on a hard, flat surface.
2. Step onto the scale with bare, dry feet. Ensure your feet are positioned correctly on the electrodes.
3. The scale will automatically turn on (Quick-Start technology) and begin measuring.
4. First, your weight will be displayed.
5. Then, the scale will cycle through your body analysis values: body fat percentage, body water percentage, muscle percentage, bone mass, and BMI.
6. The scale will automatically switch off after a few seconds.

For consistent results, measure at the same time of day, preferably in the morning before breakfast or exercise.

2. User Recognition

The scale attempts to recognize the user based on their weight. If multiple users have similar weights, the scale may prompt you to select your user profile (P1, P2, etc.) using the arrow buttons before displaying full analysis data.

3. Understanding Your Results

• Body Weight: Your total weight.
• Body Fat (%): Percentage of total body weight that is fat.
• Body Water (%): Percentage of total body weight that is water.
• Muscle Mass (%): Percentage of total body weight that is muscle.
• Bone Mass (kg): The weight of your bones.
• BMI (Body Mass Index): A measure of body fat based on height and weight.
• BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate): The minimum number of calories required to keep your body functioning at rest. This helps in personalized calorie consumption recommendations.
