C Body fat analysis (MEASURE)
Please note that the body fat analysis is not suitable for
everyone. It is not suitable for children below the
age of 7, people suffering from heart diseases, pregnant
women, or people taking cardiovascular medication.
The computer may display the incorrect values for the follo-
wing group of people:
• Adults over the age of 70
• Dialysis patients
• People suffering from edemas
• Bodybuilders, professional athletes, intense athletes.
• People with a resting heart rate of 60
or less
See your doctor for an individual consultation before the
body fat measurement, as your doctor will either recommend
or advise against the analysis.
For the body fat analysis to issue a correct result, you will
have to enter some personal data beforehand.
Press the MEASURE button to enter the correct values with
the SET button. Always use the MODE button to confi rm.
To start the body fat analysis, press the MEASURE button.
After entering your personal values (see the „Default
Settings“ chapter), analysis occurs automatically.
To measure, curl your hands completely around the sensors
and hold the position for approx. 15 seconds.
To obtain a correct result, please observe the following
notes:
• Do not move during the measurement!
• Ensure suffi cient contact between your fi ngers and the
electrodes.
• Your arms should be stretched out (straight elbows).
• Do not hold your arms too high or too low in front of
your body.
The measurement result will be displayed after approx. 15
seconds. You will be able to read the information about your
body fat percentage and the BMI value. The following tables
will indicate to you how to classify the values
. Please
remember that the measured val ues are merely reference
points to help you choose the most reasonable form of exer-
cise as well as to determine your current physical condition.
The measured values are only to be used for the workout and
serve no medical purpose.
BMI (Body Mass Index)
The BMI applies the body weight to the body surface that is
calculated from the square of the body size. The BMI is
merely a rough estimate, as it considers neither the stature
and gender nor the individual composition of the body mass
of fat and muscle tissue of a human.
A „desirable“ BMI value depends on your age:
If you exceed or drop below these values, then this indi-
cates you are overweight or underweight.
If you would like to have your pulse rate displayed
during the workout, then you do not need to observe
the listed points and notes. Here it is more than enough
to simply place your palms on the sensors.
Age BMI value
<24 years: 19–24
25–34 years: 20–25
35-44 years: 21–26
45-54 years: 22–27
55-64 years: 23–28
