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, BMI and visceral body fat.
• 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 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. 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 bare 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 10 persons: gender, age, height.
1.

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)
BMI
Body Mass Index (BMI) is the relationship between weight and
height, body fat and health risk.
BMI =

Visceral
fat
Visceral fat refers to the adipose tissue attached to the mesentery
around the abdomen and gastrointestinal tract to support, x and
protect the internal organs. Excessive visceral fat will cause a
burden on the internal organs, and visceral fat is also closely related
to arteriosclerosis, hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and
cardiovascular disease.
