Weight is not everything

- it all depends on the

right body analyses

In the past, a person’s absolu-

te weight was the determining

factor for evaluating

one’s body. But today, we

know that it’s all about the

"composition". Evolution for-

med mankind as a living

creature, which had to be very

active while sustaining itself

on a sparse diet.

"Modern" men and women,

however, do the exact opposi-

te: Sparse activity and a plen-

tiful diet, often a "bad” diet.

The consequences are known

to all of us. Many diseases of

civilization could be avoided if

only we could program oursel-

ves to maintain a healthy life-

style.

Usually, we weigh too much

because we have too much

body fat! This means: If you

want to loose weight, increase

your muscle mass. During

times when food is sparse

(= diet), the human body

reacts with an "emergency

program":

Before using up its fat

reserves, it uses muscle mass.

And vice versa, when normal

nutrition is resumed, it first

adds further fat reserves,

which results in the much

feared "yoyo" effect.

With simultaneous muscle

and fitness training you will

be able to balance your

weight, body fat and muscle

mass.

The Body Balance will be a

decisive contribution to your

health. This electronic body

analysis scale features the

following functions:

The Body Balance will deter-

mine your condition in regard

to body fat and body water

content and weight based on

your personal data and the

recommendations of health

and body composition

experts.

An individual evaluation of

the analysis results with

personal recommendations

will be performed.

Memory slots for 8 persons

and automatic recognition of

persons.

Preparation

1. Insert batteries.

Note: Immediately after inserting the bat-

teries (while "0.0" is still being display-

ed), place the body analysis scale on a

level surface and wait until the scale

powers down automatically. Then begin

with data entry. Otherwise, it might be

possible that the weight of the scale

would erroneously be added to the initial

weighting process. The same might occur

if the scale is held in the hand prior to

the weighing process.

2. For all measurements: place scale level

on a hard surface (not carpet).

3. Cleaning and care: clean only using

slightly damp cloth. Do not use solvents

or abrasives.

Never submerge scale in water.

4. A country-specific option to switch from

kg/cm to st/in or lb/in is possible by

pushing the key on the bottom of the

scale.

Attention! Slipping hazard if

surface is wet.

Teaching

It is necessary to enter perso-

nal data for each correspon-

ding person and to step on

the scale with bare feet

immediately after data entry

to ensure correct functionality

of this body analysis scale.

1. Place scale on a table for

programming.

2. Start data entry (push

key for 1 second).

3. Memory location

(P1 ... P8) select

(▼= minus, ▲= plus)and

confirm ( ).

4. Enter your height

(▼= minus, ▲= plus) and

confirm ( ).

5. Enter your age

(▼= minus, ▲= plus) and

confirm ( ).

6. Select sex using ▼/▲

( =male, =female)

Push key and

hold for 3 seconds

until "0.0” appears on

the screen.

7. Following this, immediately

place the body analysis

scale on the floor, wait

until the screen displays

"0.0" and then step on the

scale with bare feet.

The initial measurement is

indispensable and serves

to store the data and to

automatically recognize

persons at a later time. If

no person steps on the

scale, data entry must be

repeated.

The first body analysis is

performed after a person

steps on the scale.

This scale is equipped with

a Time-Out mode.

It will automatically switch

off after approx. 40

seconds if no keys are

pressed.

Data must be entered

again after battery change.

Body Analysis

For most precise results,

please step on the scale while

unclothed.

1. Step on scale. The weight

and – for the duration of

the analysis (5 to 10

seconds) - a moving bar

indicator will be displayed.

Please stand still until the

analysis is complete.

2. After automatic recognition

of persons, the body

weight, body fat content

( ) and body water con-

tent ( ) is displayed

along with the correspon-

ding status bar. The

respective person’s average

range of values is located

in the median 3 segments

of the bar indicator.

Interpretation of measure-

ment values: see page 19.

3. Next, your personal action

recommendations are dis-

played.

Meaning of symbols:

+You should drink more

fluids

+Muscle growth training

is recommended!

+Change of diet is

recommended!

Your analysis values

are ok!

4. Step away from the scale.

After display of your

memory slot, the scale will

switch off automatically.

In rare cases it is not possible

to automatically allocate the

analysis results. If this

occurs, the scale will alterna-

tely display the memory slots

of persons coming closest to

the analysis result. Since

weight measurement is alrea-

dy completed, you may now

step off the scale and use the

key ”▼” (for the first memory

slot displayed) or ”

▲

”

(for the second memory slot

displayed) to select your indi-

vidual memory slot.

Following this, body weight,

body fat and body water

content is displayed.

In the event of a difference in

body weight of more than

+/- 3 kg compared to the last

measurement, the user is not

recognized and data entry

must be repeated.

Please note that when step-

ping on the scale while wea-

ring footwear or socks, only

the weight is being determi-

ned; a body analysis is not

performed or performed incor-

rectl

You will achieve continuously

accurate results if you always

stand at the same spot on the

scale, if possible.

Difference compared with your individu-

al standard value

This body analysis scale

determines your individual

ideal condition in regards to

weight and body fat content,

based on your personal data

and recommendations by

health experts.

It also determined your total

body water content and mus-

cle mass.

Please remember that mus-

cles also contain body water,

which is already calculated in

the body water analysis.

Therefore, the total result will

always exceed 100%.

Individual Recommendation

Body Weight

Whilst the body weight is

shown in the display in kg,

one of the 9 segments is

shown in the bar below it.

Here the position of the

active segment indicates the

assessment of the body

weight mentioned on the

basis of the BMI figure.

The BMI (Body Mass Index)

is a measure for the health

risk resulting from overweight

or underweight.

On the basis of categorisation

of the BMI, doctors distin-

guish between "underweight”,

"normal weight”, "overweight”

and "obese”.

4 - 3 % normal proportion of fat

6+3%

7 + 7 % high proportion of fat

8+12%

9 > + 12 % very high proportion of fat

Example:

Measured body fat content = 15.2 % of total weight

This value is approx. 3 % above the calculated personal normal

value.

Proportion of Body Fat

Whilst the proportion of body

fat in % is shown in the

display, one of the 9 seg-

ments appears in the bar

below it. Too much body fat

is unhealthy and does not

look nice. What is more

important is that a high

proportion of body fat is also

usually associated with a

raised proportion of fat in the

blood and this increases

greatly the risk of various ill-

nesses such as for instance

diabetes, heart disease, high

blood pressure etc. But a very

low proportion of body fat is

equally unhealthy.

Apart from the fatty tissue

under the skin, the body also

stores important fat deposits

for the protection of the inter-

nal organs and to ensure

important metabolic func-

tions. If this essential fat

reserve is compromised, this

can lead to metabolic distur-

bance.

So for instance in women

with body fat figures of

under 10%, menstruation

may cease. In addition, the

risk of osteoporosis increases.

The normal proportion of

body fat is dependent on age

and above all on sex.

In women the normal figure

is about 10% higher than in

men. With increasing age the

body loses muscle mass and

so the proportion of body fat

increases.

Example:

Measured body water content = 62.4 % of total weight

This value is approx. 2 % above the calculated personal normal

value.

Proportion of Body

Water

Whilst the proportion of water

in the body in % is shown in

the display, one of the 9 seg-

ments appears in the bar

below it.

The figure shown in this ana-

lysis reflects the "total body

water” (TBW). The body of an

adult is composed of about

60% water. Here there is of

course a certain range, with

older people showing a lower

proportion of water than

younger people and men sho-

wing a higher proportion than

women.

The distinction between men

and women is a result of the

higher mass of body fat in

women. Since the majority of

the body’s water is to be

found in the fat-free mass

(73% of the FFM is water)

and since the water content

in the fat is very low by its

nature (about10% of the

fatty tissue is water), the

proportion of body fat auto-

matically decreases with an

increasing proportion of water

in the body.

Analysis is based on the mea-

surement of the body's elect-

rical resistance. Eating and

drinking habits during the

course of the day and indivi-

dual lifestyle affect the water

balance. This is noticeable by

the fluctuations in the dis-

play.

In order to ensure that the

results of analysis are a accu-

rate and consistent as possi-

ble, keep the measurement

conditions constant, as only

in this way will you be able to

observe changes over an

extended period.

Other factors can affect water

balance:

After a bath, the body fat rea-

ding may be too low and the

body water reading too high.

After a meal, readings can be

higher.

Women may experience

fluctuations due to the mens-

trual cycle.

Due to loss of water caused

by illness or after physical

activity (sport). After taking

exercise, wait for 6 to 8 hours

before carrying out the next

measurement.

Varying or implausible results

can occur in the case of:

Persons with a high tempera-

ture, symptoms of oedema or

osteoporosis.

Persons undergoing dialysis

treatment.

Persons taking cardiovascular

medicine.

Pregnant women.

If the analysis is performed

while wearing wet socks.
