WEIGHT AND WELL-BEING

In a society where the rhythm of life is constantly in-

creasing, where stress is taking an ever-greater role

and where the image of oneself is gaining increasing

importance, feeling good has become a priority.

On this route to well-being, weight is the rst piece of

information to take into account for our health: excess

weight often goes hand-in-hand with physical eort

that is more dicult to achieve. The body recovers

more slowly while at the same time the excess weight

quickly becomes a handicap in everyday life. While if

underweight, the body risks being unable to nd suf-

cient energy to function at full capacity. It tires more

quickly and does not recharge its batteries at the same

rate. In both cases, the consequences of this lack of

energy are felt psychologically, directly inuencing the

morale.

BaByliss, thanks to its technological know-how, oers

an answer appropriate to the need to monitor one’s

weight with the Monitoring electronic scale. This unit

is equipped with dierent tools that will help you inter-

pret your weight and make follow-up easy.

- The dierence in weight in relation to the previous weighing

The rst indicator of your weight is simply its evolution

over time. Without any eort to remember, your scale

automatically calculates the gain in or loss of weight

since the last time you weighed yourself and an indica-

tor light shows you the extent of this change.

- The Body Mass Index (BMI)

The BMI is a coecient used by nutritionists that invol-

ves weight and height. It places individuals in weight

categories recognised by the scientic community. Its

measurement complements that of weight.

USE

This scale has 2 dierent modes of use:

“Guest” mode: Use this mode if you only want to check

your weight.

“User mode: This mode is the best ally to your gure.

In this mode, each user has his or her own session.

The scale uses personal data saved in the memory to

calculate your body mass index and your change in

weight compared to the previous weighing.

Caution: it is important to read all the instructions

before using the scale for the rst time.

Instructions for use:

To obtain the most reliable results possible, make sure:

you always place your feet in the same position on the

scale,

you weigh yourself without clothes and in bare feet,

you don’t move while your weight is being

calculated,

you don’t weigh yourself too often. It is recommended

that you limit yourself to once a week and keep the

same interval between each session,

you weigh yourself at the same time of day. In fact,

in the course of the same day, your weight can

change. This is generally the case when you get up,

after eating, taking a bath, doing intense physical

exercise or taking certain products.

Guest mode:

Place the scale on a hard, level andat surface

Quickly and rmly tap center of scale platform with

foot to activate digital display.

Wait until the screen displays “00.0KG”

The scale is ready to be used

Step onto the scale

“000” will ash

Your weight will be displayed on the screen and will

remain displayed for a few seconds

The scale will go out automatically after a few seconds.

User mode:

Before the rst use, the scale should be programmed

by the user (cf. PROGRAMMING section).

Place the scale on a hard, level and at surface.

Using your foot, press the button corresponding to

your user number.

The screen will display your user number and

“00.0KG”.

The scale is ready to be used.

Step onto the scale.

“000” will ash on the screen.

Your weight, your BMI, the dierence in weight com

-

pared to the previous weighing (indicated by “∆ Kg”)

and the coloured indicator related to this dierence

are instantly displayed for a few seconds.

Note: When using the scale for the rst time, change in

weight ( ΔKG) will show «0.0».

Your weight is automatically saved in the memory of

the scale. The scale will beep to conrm the informa-

tion has been saved.

The scale will go out automatically after a few seconds.

INTERPRETING THE DATA:

a. Change in weight (∆ Kg)

The scale records your weight after each use. It auto-

matically recalls this information to calculate the

change in weight between the current and the

previous weighings. This dierence is then instantly

transcribed into kilograms on the screen and the

extent of this change appears in the form of a coloured

indicator according to the table below.

A weight loss or weight gain that is too great over a

relatively short period is synonymous with stress for

your body. Regular and moderate loss will respect your

body more.

Blue Green Yellow Orange Red

Delta (∆Kg)

∆Kg -1000g

∆Kg ≥ 1000g

-900g ≤ ∆Kg -400g

-300g ≤ ∆Kg ≤ 300g

400g ≤ ∆Kg ≤ 900g

b. Body mass index (BMI)

The body mass index lets you estimate overweight or

underweight. Its classication indicates a predispos-

tion to weight-related risks. It is calculated using the

following formula: BMI = weight (Kg)/Height2 (m2). For

a more detailed interpretation of the BMI, please refer

to the following table (also found on the detachable

part of the cover):

Important: Don’t focus on a single measurement, but

observe the progress over time. Short-term uctua-

tions are normal. Keep in mind that you know your

body best; the tables below are for information only.

These indications should never be used as a substitute

for medical opinion! If you are in any way concerned

about your health, consult your doctor.

PROGRAMMING

You can program the Monitoring scale very easily and

very quickly. All you need to do is enter your height

into the unit’s memory and that’s it! For every future

use, the scale will automatically recall this information

to calculate your body mass index.

Note: This unit records data for 2 users.

Caution: Every time you reprogram the user memory

(no. 1 or no. 2), you replace the previously saved data.

When the scale is o, press the button that corres

-

ponds to the number of the user you wish to program

and hold for a few seconds. User 1 presses button ‘1’

while user 2 presses button ‘2’. You will hear a ‘beep’

which indicates that you are in ‘Programming’ mode.

The number ‘1’ will be displayed on the screen. It shows

you that you are in the session for user 1. The default

setting of 160cm (or the previously saved value) will

also appear for the height and will ash.

Press on the up and down (‘1’ or ‘2’) buttons to select

your height. The numbers will scroll quickly if you hold

the button down. Once your height appears on the

screen, release the button for 3 seconds. Your height is

now saved. An audible beep conrms this.

The scale shows your user number and displays ‘00.0

Kg’. It is ready to use.

Note: The scale turns itself o automatically

You have nished entering your personal data.

ERROR MESSAGES

The scale does not display your weight:

The minimum measurable weight is 11 Kg.

The err’ message may appear on your screen if:

your weight exceeds the maximum measurable

weight 180Kg

the dierence in your weight since your last weighing

exceeds 9.9 Kg

you stepped onto the scale before ’00.0’ appeared.

The ‘lo’ message indicating a weak battery may appear

on the screen if:

the battery is nearly empty. In this case, replace it

immediately.

REPLACING THE BATTERY

Your scale comes with a CR2032 3V lithium coin cell

battery

To replace the battery:

When the battery is empty, it should be discarded at

a recycling centre for the safety of the environment. If

the battery is leaking, avoid touching it and discard it

at a recycling centre.

Insert a new battery of the same type. Place the bat

-

tery with the side marked with ‘+’ facing up.

TIPS AND PRECAUTIONS

To the extent where results may vary from one set of

scale to another, we recommend that you use only

your BaByliss Monitoring electronic scale.

It is best to weigh yourself everyday at the same time

but not within the rst 3 hours after waking up, after

meal times or after a bath or intense physical exercise

in your weight from one day to the next. To control

your weight eectively, it is best to consider the

results over a longer period.
