Operation and Handling
This chapter provides you with important information and notes on the operation and basic settings of the appliance.
General tips and information
- Wherever possible, weigh yourself at the same time every day (preferably in the morning), after going to the toilet, before you eat and without clothes. This will allow you to compare readings.
- After getting up, wait for approx. 15 minutes before you weigh yourself so that the water in your body can distribute itself evenly.
- Stand up straight and keep still during the weighing process. Exert even pressure on the surface of the scales.
- Important when measuring weight: Your weight can only be measured if you are barefoot. If necessary, you can slightly moisten the soles of your feet.
- If the soles of your feet are completely dry or the skin is very hard, then this can result in unsatisfactory results because conductivity will be impaired.
- Your long-term weight development is most important. Short-term deviations within the space of a few days are usually caused by loss of uids.
- Please note that these scales are not certified for professional, medical use and that
Measuring your body fat percentage
- These scales use the B.I.A. method, bioelectrical impedance analysis. A weak, safe electrical current is passed through your body and the level of resistance to the current is measured. Fatty tissue will be more resistant, while the signal passes through
lean body mass more easily. In combination with your height, weight, age and gender, the resistance measurement can be used to calculate body fat and body water percentages. - Please note that the body measurements obtained by the device are only an approximation of actual analytical medical data. Exact calculation of body fat, body water, muscle mass and other body parameters can only be carried out by a specialist doctor using medical methods.
- Any diet or treatment for over- or underweight must be accompanied by competent advice from corresponding specialists (e.g. a doctor).
- Body fat calculations for children, competitive athletes or people with medical/ physical impairments (e.g. oedema symptoms; osteoporosis; or cardiovascular or vascular-changing medication; significant anatomic deviations in the leg area) may result in imprecise or improbable results.
- If you have insufficient blood in your legs; venous stasis that is too high; vascular constriction or extensive oedema of the leg, then the calculation of your heart frequency may result in imprecise or improbable results.
Operation of the device
Installation site

Disposal of the Old Device
Old electric and electronic devices frequently still contain valuable materials. However, they also contain damaging substances, which were necessary for their functionality and safety. If these were put in the non-recyclable waste or were handled incorrectly, they could be detrimental to human health and the environment. Therefore, do not put your old device into the non-recyclable waste under any circumstances.
- Utilise the collection point, established in your town, to return and recycle old electric and electronic devices. If necessary, contact your town hall, local refuse collection service or your dealer for information.
- Ensure that your old device is stored safely away from children until it is taken away.
Disposal of the packaging
The packaging protects the device against damage during transit. The packaging materials are selected from environmentally compatible and recycling-related points of view and can therefore be recycled. Returning the packaging to the material loop saves raw materials and reduces the quantities of accumulated waste. Take any packaging materials that are no longer required to “Green Dot” recycling collection points for disposal.
