INTENDED USE:
This product is a device for estimating body composition by measuring the local bio-impedance value of the
user’s body. Used to measure body weight, body fat, body water, muscle mass, bone mass, BMI and basal
metabolism, wireless transmission.
• This scale is not suitable for people with pacemakers or other medical implants. The indication of body fat may
be inaccurate in the event of diabetes or other medical/physical conditions. The same applies to highly trained
sportsmen.
• The body fat measurement algorithm is calibrated for individuals between the ages of 6 and 80 years old.
Users outside of this age range can only use the weight measurement feature.
• The device uses Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) and it may cause a weak current while taking
measurement. So it’s not recommended for pregnant women use.
• Any treatment or diet for overweight or underweight requires qualified advice from appropriate specialists
(doctor, dietician). The values determind with the scale can be of help.
• Risk of tilting! Never place the scales on an uneven surface. Never step onto just one corner of the scale. While
weighing, never stand on one side or on the edge of the scale.
• Danger of slipping! Never step onto the scale with wet feet. Never step onto the scale while wearing socks.
• Use the device only as directed by the instruction manual. In the event of misuse, all warrantees become null
and void.
• The scale is manufactured for home or personal use. It is not intended for commercial use in hospitals or other
medical facilities.
• Do not use the device if it does not work properly, if it has been dropped, dropped into water or damaged.
• The scale has a measuring range up to 180 kg/396 lbs. Do not overload the scale.
• Place the scale on a firm level surface. Soft, uneven surfaces are unsuitable for measurement and lead to
wrong results.
• Place the scale in a location where neither extreme temperatures nor extreme humidity are present.
• Please handle the scale with care. Avoid shocks and vibrations of the scale. Do not drop it.
• Stand carefully on the scale. Do not hop or jump on the treated surface, as this may damage the weighing
mechanism.
• Do not attempt to disassemble the device. Otherwise the warranty will become void. This device does not
contain any parts that can be serviced or replaced by the user.
• In the event of malfunctions, do not proceed with any unauthorised repair of the device. Otherwise, this will
void any warranty claims. Have repairs performed only by an authorised service centre.

Requirements for correct measurement results
• Always weigh yourself in the same conditions.
• Measure at the same time of day.
• Stand upright and calm.
• It is best to take the measurement in the morning, after showering or bathing, with dry foot.
With the results of the measurement, when carried out consistently, a reliable control of the development of the body
weight is possible.
Insert/change batteries
Before putting your digital scale into operation, insert the three 1.5 V batteries (type AAA) included in the device. Open
the battery compartment on the underside of the device and insert the batteries. Pay attention to the polarity (illustration
in the battery compartment). Replace the battery compartment cover and push it in so that it clicks into place. Change
the batteries if the battery change symbol “LO” appears on the display or if nothing is shown on the display after the
unit has been operated.
Initialise scale
Make sure that the scale is on firm and level ground
5
. If you want to weigh yourself, but have moved the scale
immediately before, you must first initialise the scale. Briefly press the middle of the scale surface with your bare feet.
The display will show “0.00”. When the scale has turned off, it is ready for the “step-on” function. If the scale hat not
been moved before-hand, this process is omitted.
Simple weighing
1. Stand on the scale and stand still. The device switches on automatically.
2. Step onto your monitor with your bare feet. Place the arches of your feet onto the center of the monitor. In the
measurement body composition, it is notified by rolling of “
” that the measurement is in progress.
3. Step down off the scale. The scale switches off automatically after approx. 15 seconds.
• Stepping onto your monitor with socks or footwear on will result in an inaccurate measurement.
• If the posture is wrong, such as squatting, knees bent, the bare feet are not on the electrodes, the
measurement will be inaccurate.
Body analysis
The scale can store the data of 8 persons: gender, age, height.
1.
Briefly press the middle of the scale surface with your bare feet. The display will show “0.00 kg”.
2. Press and hold the SET button
for 2 seconds. The memory location flashes in the display.
3. Now you can select the desired memory location for your user profile (0 - 8) by pressing button
or button
.
4. Press the SET button
to confirm the selection. The symbol for weight unit starts flashing in the display.
5 Set the weight unit (kg/st/lb) by pressing the button
or button
to select the corresponding symbol in the
display.
6. Press the SET button
to save the setting. The symbol for gender starts flashing in the display.
7. Set your gender by pressing the button
or button
to select the corresponding symbol in the display. If you work
out for 12 hours or more a week, you should select the gender with “
” icon to activate Athlete mode for more
accurate measurement.
8. Press the SET button
to save the setting. The preset height begins to flash in the display.
9. Now set your height with the button
or key
.
10. Press the SET button
to save the setting. The preset age begins to flash in the display.
11. Use the button
or the button
to set your age.
12. Press the SET button
to save the setting.
13. The configuration process is now complete. The display shows “0.00”. Stand on the scales barefoot and stand
still. Place your feet on the electrodes
. Firstly, the weight is displayed.
14. When you see “
” appears, this is to indicate that the data is being analyzed. Please keep your post
during this period. Once the process is completed, the weight, body fat, body water, muscle percentage, bone
weight, BMR and BMI are displayed one after the other. There is a 5-second time interval for you to reach
each data. You can press
to pause, press
again to show the next data. When in the pause mode, it will
automatically display next data in 15-second if you keep the same status without pressing other button.
15. After the first measurement, the scale will be able to automatically recognize you based on the previous weight.

How a body analysis scale works
medisana body analysis scale is tested by the
Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) method. The
principle of Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) is
to apply weak current to body through the electrodes
on the surface of scale, and use the theory that water
in the body conducts electricity while fat does not,
thereby measure the body’s resistance. Then based
on sample data, the body fat content is calculated by
comparison.
Low-frequency current: obtain extracellular intelligence; high-frequency current: gain extracellular and
Intracellular intelligence
Fatty tissue: Poor electrical conductivity
Non-fatty tissue: Better conductivity with more electrolyte
The body is divided into fatty tissue and non-fatty tissue according to above principle, and the resistance feedback
of the two is also different. The body analysis scale calculates the proportion of different components of the body
through data feedback and calculation.
kg / st / lb
Body
weight
Body weight refers to "the sum of all organs and metabolites in the
body", which includes bones, muscles, fat, blood, internal organs,
metabolic waste, and many other indicators. However, the largest
proportion among them is water.
Body
fat
Body fat percentage refers to the ratio of body weight in fatty tissue.
Body fat (
%
) =
Body fat weight (kg)
x 100%
Body weight (kg)
Body
water
Body water ratio accounts for the largest ratio of body weight.
Body water (
%
) =
Weight of body water
x 100%
Weight of body fluid
Muscle
percentage
Muscles are non-fatty tissues in the body, and the body uses energy to
maintain body temperature. When muscle mass is reduced, the body
uses less energy. Muscle is also the body tissue that supports posture
and heartbeat.
Bone
weight
Bone weight refers to the weight of bone tissue (including bone mineral
levels, calcium, or other minerals) in the body composition, is indicative
of bone health.
Calorie
requirement
BMR
Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) refers to the minimum requirement
of calories that the human body needs to maintain life under static
conditions.
BMI
Body Mass Index (BMI) is the relationship between weight and height,
body fat and health risk.
BMI =
Body weight (kg)
Body height (m)
