Note: After the result items have been displayed twice or if there is no operation for 1 minute after turning the dial button, the power will automatically turn off.

6.2 Result Screen Layout

The device provides results on weight, percent body fat (PBF), skeletal muscle mass (SMM), and visceral fat level. Standard range data is also displayed for all results except for the visceral fat level. The user can check more detailed results from the InBody App.

Result screen items for Weight, Percent Body Fat, Skeletal Muscle Mass and Visceral Fat Level

Weight: 75.0 kg (Changes compared to the last measurement: ▲: Up, V: Down, –: No change)

The Standard Range of Weight, Percent Body Fat and Skeletal Muscle Mass

Weight: 75.0 kg

Note: The results of changes compared to the last measurement and standard ranges are displayed on the device's screen only when the InBody Test starts with the user recognition function or in the InBody App.

6.3 Understanding Result Items

If you exercise or adjust your diet for weight management, your body fat and muscle will change. Therefore, if you plan to run a weight control program, you can constantly monitor your body fat and muscle and verify how well your body composition has changed through the InBody Test.

Weight

It is the weight of a whole body, equivalent to the sum of body composition masses.

Percent Body Fat¹

It represents the proportion of body fat in the total weight. Even if the weight is the same, the proportion of body composition that makes up the weight can differ. Therefore, Percent Body Fat calculated through body composition analysis is an essential item for obesity criteria. The standard ranges for men and women are 10 – 20% and 18 – 28%, respectively. Children under the age of 18 have different standard Percent Body Fat depending on their gender and height. If their physique is larger or smaller compared to their peers, this is taken into consideration.

Skeletal Muscle Mass

Muscles are typically categorized into cardiac muscle, smooth muscle, and skeletal muscle. The muscle mass displayed on the InBodyDial is the Skeletal Muscle Mass. Skeletal muscle mass can be changed through exercise, and the muscles in the arms and legs mostly consist of skeletal muscles. Muscle has a smaller volume compared to the same amount of body fat. Thus, individuals with a higher muscle ratio can appear slimmer with a higher muscle ratio, even if their weight remains the same. The secret to a healthy, firm body is muscle mass.

Visceral Fat

Depending on the distribution location, fat is categorized into visceral fat, subcutaneous fat, and intramuscular fat. Among these, the visceral fat in the abdomen is represented by a level. If the visceral fat level is 10 or higher, the management is required because it indicates visceral fat-type abdominal obesity.

My weight doesn't seem accurate.

8.3 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Question: The test results seem unusual. There is a slight difference between the tests.

Answer: If your hands or feet detach from the electrodes or if the posture is incorrect during the test, this can result in differences in test results. Accurate posture should be maintained during the test, and the correct posture should be sustained until the test is completed. Please refer to section 4.3 Test Posture. If the user's hands and feet are dry, it's recommended to wipe them with wet wipes before the test. In addition, since your body composition varies during the day, it is recommended to take the test at the same time and under the same conditions while keeping a proper posture. Example: Take the test after emptying your stomach before breakfast in lightweight clothes, with your arms and legs stretched.

Question: During the test, my armpits or both legs are touching. Does this affect the results?

Answer: Since each body part is measured separately, if the thighs are touching each other or the armpits are in contact with the rest of the body, the InBody Test results will be affected. In such cases, wearing light short sleeves, shorts, or longer clothing can help obtain accurate results.

Question: What is the normal range for visceral fat level?

Answer: Visceral fat level is the InBody's unique index that quantifies the cross-section area of visceral fat. For general adults, if the visceral fat level is less than 10, it is considered normal, and the lower the visceral fat level, the better.

Question: On what basis is the InBody ranking determined?

Answer: InBody Ranking is a score obtained by calculating an ideal body fat mass and lean mass for an ideal BMI and score the difference between them and my body's fat mass and lean mass. Fundamentally, higher body fat leads to a lower ranking, while greater muscle mass results in a higher ranking. InBody Ranking doesn't represent an absolute ranking of the body. It is InBody's unique standard to motivate your weight management, so please use it only as a reference.

Question: I don't know my exact height. Would it affect the test results if I enter a rough estimate?

Answer: Since height is reflected in InBody Test results, you must enter your height accurately. Incorrect height input can lead to an error during the body composition calculation process and produce misleading results.

Question: I couldn't transfer the results to my smartphone, and the LCD screen has turned off. How would I keep the results a little longer?

Answer: If you enable user recognition during the InBody Test, data will be accumulated in the product. Even if you don't sync with the InBody App every time you test, you can transfer all test data with just one sync. The device will turn off in 1 minute after the last control on the result screen. Turning the dial button before one minute passes without any additional actions will extend the time before the power turns off.

Question: How can I check the standard range on the product?

Answer: To check the standard range on the product, you need to use the user recognition function or start the test from the InBody App.

Question: How can I turn off the sound during the test?

Answer: In the InBody App, go to icon > Device and you can set the device sound (beep) to ON/OFF in the product settings.

Question: What is user recognition?

Answer: The user recognition feature allows the InBody test to be conducted by identifying the registered nickname of the user, without the need to input height, just by measuring the weight and then taking the InBody test posture. For each result item, changes compared to the last measurement are displayed on the device. Moreover, users can also check the standard range for weight, percentage body fat, and skeletal muscle mass on the device. Furthermore, when conducting the InBody Test with user recognition, up to 15 test results can be stored in the device. The user can sync the data with the InBody App and record it in the app.

* Up to 15 sets of data can be stored per nickname.

Question: How can I use the user recognition function?

Answer: To use the user recognition function, you need to connect the product to the InBody App, register a nickname, and then conduct an InBody Test once from the app. Please check if your nickname has been registered. For the InBody Test with user recognition, please refer to 5.1 'Start with User Recognition Function'.

Question: On what basis is user recognition done?

Answer: InBodyDial H30 identifies users with weight within a 5 kg range. If there are users of similar weight, this device measures their impedance values to recognize the user. If your weight and impedance are similar to those of others, other people's nicknames may be displayed.

Question: How many data entries can be stored and how long are they stored?

Answer: A total of 20 user nicknames can be registered, and a maximum of 15 sets of data are stored per nickname. If there are more than 15 data, the oldest measurement data is deleted. There is no limitation on the data storage period.

Question: I can't connect the product to the InBody App.

Answer: When connecting the product to the InBody App, they should be within Bluetooth communication range.

Question: How long does the battery last?

Answer: Assuming that a family of 4 had an InBody Test once a day (4 times a day), the battery lives are about 8 months for the standard model and about 6 months for the Wi-Fi model. If a family of 4 had an InBody Test once a week (4 times a week), the battery lives are about 9 months for the standard model and about 8 months for the Wi-Fi model. Given the increase in single-person households, if one measurement per day is assumed, the standard model can be used for about 9 months, and the Wi-Fi model can be used for about 8 months.

Question: How can I do zero-adjustment for weight measurement?

Answer: The InBodyDial performs an automatic zero-adjustment when there is nothing on the footplate after the device is powered on. At this time, if the device is not level or there is weight applied to the footplate, the zero-adjustment may go wrong. Place the product on a hard and flat surface where nothing is laid underneath. After placing the handle in its proper position, press the dial button to turn on the power and check the height value. Then press the dial button once more to confirm the weight at 0.0 kg before using.

Question: How can I apply the InBodyDial H30 warranty?

Answer: Please contact the Product Support team at Support@inbody.com. The InBody product comes with a one-year warranty. However, even within this period, any issues arising due to the customer's fault will be handled with a charge.
