Attention: Please do not confuse bone mass with bone density. Bone density can be determined only by

means of a medical examination (e.g. computer tomography, ultrasound). It is therefore not possible to draw

conclusions concerning changes to the bones and bone hardness (e.g. osteoporosis) using this scale.

To maintain your existing weight, the amount of energy used must be reintroduced into the body in the form

offoodanddrink.Iflessenergyisintroducedthanisusedoveralongerperiodoftime,yourbodywillob-

ted, your body will be unable to burn off the excess energy, and the excess will be stored in the body as fat

and your weight will increase.

If your weight and body fat percentage fall simultaneously then your diet is working – you are losing fat mass.

Possible causes of errors:

– The maximum load-bearing capacity of

150 kg (330 lbs) was exceeded.

– The electrical resistance between the electrodes

and the soles of your feed is too high

 (e.g.withheavilycallusedskin).

– Your body fat lies outside the measurable range

(less than 3 % or greater than 55 %).

– Your percentage of water lies outside the

measurable range (less than 25 % or greater

than 75 %)

Remedy:

– Only weigh the maximum permissible weight.

– Repeat weighing barefoot.

Slightly moisten the soles of your feet if necessary.
