Dear Customer,

This new electronic personal scale allows you to evaluate your

body composition and to automatically calculate the body fat and

water percentage in function of your height, age and sex. The

exact knowledge of your body composition (calculation of lean

body mass, fat body mass and total body water contents), allows

a correct estimate of the excess fat and at the same time deter-

mines the advisable weight as a function of your nutritional condi-

tion. Furthermore, the knowledge of your body composition allows

to combine a correct nutrition and physical activity as essential

conditions to improve the quality of life, promote health and

prevent pathologies.

Please read through these instructions carefully so that you

understand all functions and safety information. We want you to

be happy with your Microlife product. If you have any questions or

problems, please contact Microlife-Customer Service. Your dealer

or pharmacy will be able to give you the address of the Microlife

dealer in your country. Alternatively, visit the Internet at

www.microlife.com where you will find a wealth of invaluable infor-

mation on our products.

Stay healthy – Microlife AG!

1. Important Facts about Body Composition

It is important to know the body composition of an individual in

order to be able to estimate his/her health condition. It is not

enough to know one's weight but it is necessary to define its

quality, which means dividing the human body in its two major

component masses:



Lean body mass: bones, muscles, viscera, water, organs, blood

Fat body mass: adipose cells

Under the same conditions of weight, these two masses have

different volumes.

By means of electrodes placed on the platform, the scale sends a

weak low intensity electric current that passes through the body

mass. The electric current reacts in a different way according to

the masses it passes through: the lean body mass opposes a

weak resistance, while the fat body mass has a greater resis-

tance. This body resistance, called bioelectrical impedance,

varies also in function of sex, age and height.

For a correct control of one's ideal weight, it is important, besides

the weight, to compare the body fat percentage calculated by the

scale, with the parameters contained in the table and the body

water percentage, with the information listed hereinafter.

If the percentages are outside the normal values, we suggest

you consult your physician.

In order to better understand the value of your body fat percentage,

we suggest you write down this value for a given period of time. In

order to obtain a valid comparison, you should weigh yourself

always at the same time of the day and under the same conditions.

Body fat mass percentage

The percentage of fat listed in the following table represents the

total fat, calculated by summing up the essential fat (or primary fat)

and the spare fat (or storage fat). The essential fat is necessary

since it is needed for the metabolism.

The percentage of this fat is different between the two sexes:

about 4 % for men and about 12 % for women (percentage calcu-

lated on the total body weight).

The spare fat, which is theoretically superfluous, is necessary for

those who carry out physical activities. Even in this case, the fat

percentage is different between the two sexes: 12 % for men,

15 % for women (percentage calculated on the total body weight).

Therefore, the normal percentage of fat mass on the body weight

is approximately 16 % for men and 27 % for women.

Such percentages differ with the person's age as shown in the

table here below.
