Q Important usage and safety instructions • Do not use the scale if you - are pregnant or - use medical devices such as heart pacemaker, respiration apparatus or electrocardiographs • Children should use the scale only from age 10 years or body size above 100 cm. • With the following groups of persons it is possible for measuring errors to occur or results could considerably deviate from the actual values since fluctuations of average water content and bone density can occur. - Children - Women affected by menopause - Sports persons - Persons affected by flu or fever - Persons with swollen legs - Osteoporosis patients - Pregnant persons - Dialysis patients 4 • Do not compare the measurements with the measurements of another scale since there could be differences because of the manufacturing tolerances. • Since both the water content and the fat content of your body could fluctuate during a single day you should always weigh yourself at the same time of day and before meals to obtain comparable results. First thing in the morning is the best time for weighing. • To obtain accurate measurements, place the scale on a solid, level and non-skid surface. • The scale is equipped with sensitive electronic components. For this reason, do not place the scale next to heat sources or in locations with excessive moisture. Q Appendix: Body fat and water contents A regular check of fat and weight is a basic pre-requisite for your health and fitness. Fat contributes considerably to the loading of the organism especially the coronary circulation system. The body fat content of human beings is highly individual. There are heavy persons who have a well-balanced ratio of fat and muscle mass and there are apparently slim persons with clearly increased body fat values. Body fat in our body assumes important functions. It protects the joints, is a vitamin store and handles the regulation of the body temperature. It need not therefore be an urgent objective to radically reduce fat but rather to achieve and maintain a well-balanced ratio of muscle mass and fat mass. Only if you know your body fat content will you be able to determine your actual degree of fitness. Depending on age and sex, a different body fat content is considered healthy. The following table can be used as a reference for your personal fitness profile. Body fat content in % Men Women Years low 0 high low 0 high 20 - 24 14.9 19.0 23.3 22.1 25.0 29.6 25 - 29 16.5 20.3 24.3 22.0 25.4 29.8 30 - 34 18.0 21.5 25.2 22.7 26.4 30.5 35 - 39 19.3 22.6 26.1 24.0 27.7 31.5 40 - 44 20.5 23.6 26.9 25.6 29.3 32.8 45 - 49 21.5 24.5 27.6 27.3 30.9 34.1 50 - 59 22.7 25.6 28.7 29.7 33.1 36.2 > 60 23.2 26.2 29.3 30.7 34.0 37.7 Dependent on the age, the body consists of up to 80 per cent of water (see below). Water fulfils important metabolic functions: It regulates the body temperature and transports nutrients between cells and organs. Since the body looses water continuously, the liquid household must be adequately replenished. A lack of water in the body results in a concentration of toxins in the body fluid. A water content of 20 percent below average can even be life-threatening. 5 Water content in t...
