Operation Manual
Water makes up approx. 60% of men's body mass. The value for women is about 55%
(due to the higher percentage of body fat). Of this total amount of body water, approx.
two thirds are stored in the cells and is therefore called intracellular water. The remaining
third is extracellular water.
The normal range of the body mass index lies between 20 and 25 for men and between
19 and 24 for women. For persons in the second half of life, a body mass index of 26 is
still viewed as normal.
There are no general values for muscle mass.
values are a little higher. When a woman is pregnant, there is no danger for the unborn
child. But due to larger water deposits during pregnancy, the values are distorted making
the measurement senseless.
ADE does not assume liability for damages or losses, caused by the body analysis scales,
or for claims of third parties. This product is solely intended for private use. It is not
designed for professional use in hospitals or medical facilities.

glass might break.
Use only a damp cloth to clean the scales. Never use solvents
or abrasive cleaning agents. Do not submerge.
Preparation:
Open the lid of the battery compartment on the bottom of the scales and insert the
supplied batteries (4 x 1.5 V AAA). Please observe the correct polarity of the batteries
(+/-).
On the bottom of the scales, above the battery compartment, there is a small push button
"UNIT" to make country specific adjustments (kg = kilogram / lb = pound / st:lb = stone:
pound). Please ensure that the scales are set to the appropriate units of weight for you.
