INFORMATION ON BODY FAT

MEASUREMENT

Caution: Persons, using a

pacemaker or other medical implant

with electronic parts are not advised

to use this scale. The power output of

the implant can be jeopardized,

resulting in its impairment.

Note: The device can only

function correctly, if you stand on the

contact surfaces with bare, dry feet!

The main principle of this device is

based on the measurement of the

electric impedance within the human

body. In order to determine the actual

body data, the device leads a weak,

unnoticeable electric signal through

your body.

The signal is generally safe! However,

please read our special safety

instructions!

The method of measurement is

referred to as “bioelectric impedance

analysis” (BIA), a factor which is

based on the relationship between

body weight and associated body

water percentages as well as on other

biological data (age, gender, body

weight).

There are heavy persons with a well-

balanced percentage between fat and
