• 1 quick guide
2. IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES
WARNING
• Intended use: the device is only intended for weighing humans
and for recording your personal fitness data. The device is only
intended for private use and not for medical or commercial pur-
poses. The device must only be used for the purpose for which
it was designed and in the manner specified in these instructions
for use.
• The device may not be used by people with
medical implants (e.g. pacemakers), as this
may aect their functionality.
• Do not use the device during pregnancy.
• Danger of tipping! Never place the scale on an
uneven surface (see Figure
A
). Never step onto the outer edge
of the scale on just one side (see Figure
B
).
• Danger of slipping! Do not step onto the scale with wet feet (see
Figure
B
). Do not step onto the scale when the surface is wet.
Do not step onto the scale wearing socks.
• Please note that measuring tolerances are possible for technical
reasons as this scale is not calibrated for use in a professional
medical context.
• This scale works on the principle of B.I.A. (bioelectrical impe-
dance analysis). When this measurement of the electrical resis-
tance (impedance) is considered alongside constants and/or
individual values (age, height, gender, activity level), the body
fat percentage and other variables in the body can be calcu-
lated. Please note that the values calculated by the diagnostic
bathroom scale only represent an approximation of the actual
medical analytical values for the body. Only a specialist doctor
can precisely establish the body fat, body water, muscle percen-
tage and bone structure using medical methods (e.g. computer
tomography).
• Obtain professional advice from appropriately qualified per-
sonnel (e.g. a doctor) when undertaking any treatment or diet
to address being overweight or underweight. The health values
determined using the scale can assist the qualified personnel in
their diagnoses.
• Inaccurate or implausible results may occur when determining
body fat in children, performance athletes or people with medi-
cal/physical limitations (e.g. oedema symptoms, osteoporosis,
people who are taking cardiovascular medication or medication
which changes the vascular system, people with major anatomi-
cal abnormalities on the legs).
• Repairs may only be carried out by Beurer Customer Services or
authorised retailers. Never open the scale yourself.

battery compartment with a dry cloth.
• If fluid from a battery comes into contact with your skin or eyes,
wash the aected areas with water and seek medical assistance.
• Choking hazard! Keep batteries out of the reach of children.
Seek medical attention immediately if swallowed. Swallowing
them may cause burns, severe internal injuries, and death.
• Never allow children to replace batteries without adult supervi-
sion.

5. USAGE
5.1 Prerequisites for taking measurements
correctly
• Place the scale on a flat and stable surface.
• Wherever possible, weigh yourself at the same time every day
(ideally in the morning), after having been to the toilet, on an em-
pty stomach and without clothing.
• To determine your body fat, always stand barefoot on the elect-
rodes
5
on the scale.
• Stand up straight and still during measurement. Ensure that your
weight is evenly distributed.
5.2 Creating scale users in the “beurer Health-
Manager Pro” app
The “beurer HealthManager Pro” app makes it easier for you to crea-
te user data, is required to transfer measured values and to display
additional values (body water content, bone mineral mass, BMR/
AMR, metabolic age).
The scale has 8 memory spaces for dierent scale users, enabling
you to save the various members of your family, for example. You
can use the “beurer HealthManager Pro” app to conveniently set up
the individual app users and their corresponding scale user via your
smartphone. To do so, proceed as follows:
1.
Download the free “beurer HealthManager Pro” app from the Apple
App Store (iOS) or from Google Play (Android™).
This way to the
“beurer HealthManager Pro” app
2. Start the app and follow the instructions.
3. Select BF 880 in the app and press the SET button
3
.
4. Select WIFI network (SSID) and enter password (network key) to
enable data transfer to scale via WIFI. If successful, the cloud
12
and WIFI
13
icons will appear on the display.
5. Set up scale user: if the display
1
shows the scale user (e.g. “U:
1”) and “0.0”, carry out the initial measurement (for subsequent
automatic personal recognition if within +/- 3kg of the last mea-
surement of this scale user).
5.3 Weighing yourself
1.
Step onto the scale barefoot. Stand still on the electrodes
5
with
both legs, making sure to distribute your weight evenly. The scale
switches on automatically.
2.
Your body weight appears on the display
1
. The scale user detec
-
ted (e.g. “U: 1” for scale user 1) should then appear automatically.
If the scale has detected several possible scale users or the last
5
weight is more than 3kg apart, use the
button
4
to select the
correct scale user and wait 3 seconds.
3. The following values will then appear one after the other.
Body mass index (a healthy value is 18.5 – 25)
Body fat percentage (a healthy value is 16 – 28% for
women and 11 – 23% for men)
Muscle percentage (a healthy value is 27 – 43% for
women and 37 – 57% for men)
For more details of the values, please see the app or the
FAQs at: www.beurer.com
4. If a Bluetooth
®
or WIFI connection has been established and the
user measurements have been successfully taken (e.g. for U: 1), the
values will be transferred to the “beurer HealthManager Pro” app.
This is indicated by the measurement data transfer symbol
11
. If
the data cannot be transferred, up to 30 values will be stored per
user. As soon as a connection is established, they are transferred
with the next measurements.
• If the automatic scale user detection function is not
working, briefly press the scale with your foot, press
the button
4
repeatedly until your scale user is
displayed, and wait 3 seconds. Then take the diag-
nostic measurement.
• To display your most recent diagnostic measurement,
briefly press the scale with your foot, press the
button
4
repeatedly until your scale user is dis-
played, and wait 3 seconds. Then press the but-
ton
2
to display the most recent diagnostic measu-
rement. To display further measurements, press the
button
2
again. Up to 30 measurements can be
shown on the display
1
.
• If the measurement is carried out with shoes or socks
on, then only the weight is displayed (when the scale
user is recognised, the weight and BMI are displayed
and saved).
