GB IRE Scale and Crane Connect app Scale and Crane Connect app The scale is designed for weighing and for the diagnosis of individual physical data. The data measured are transmitted to a smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth®. With the free Crane Connect app (hereinafter referred to as “app”) you can save and analyse this data on your smartphone or tablet. The scale can record and transmit physical data for up to eight different users.
Scale and Crane Connect app GB IRE 15 Measurement method NOTICE! From a medical standpoint, the analytical results provided by the scale are only of an approximate nature. Only a medical specialist is capable of performing exact measurements of the percentage of body fat, body water, muscle or bone mass using special medical instruments. The scale uses very low voltage to measure your physical data. The voltage is transmitted through your body, that is, through the different parts of your body.
GB IRE Scale and Crane Connect app Compatibility The following smartphones and tablets with Bluetooth® Smart Ready (Bluetooth® 4.0) are compatible with the scale and app: • Apple® iPhone® 4s and more recent versions • Apple® iPad® 3rd generation and more recent versions • Apple® iPad mini™ 1st generation and more recent versions • Apple® iPad Air™ and more recent versions • Smartphones and tablets with Android™ 4.
Setup GB IRE 17 In order to calculate your percentage of body fat, body water, muscle mass, bone mass as well as your BMI, AMR and BMR, the scale requires individual parameters such as your gender, height and age. However, it is not possible to enter these parameters on the scale itself, instead this must be done with the app or on the Crane website (see chapter “Creating a user account”).
GB IRE Setup 7. If nothing appears on the display, remove the batteries and insert them again. Setting up the scale In order for the measurements to be accurate, the scale must be set up on a solid floor or on the enclosed carpet feet: −− Use the carpet feet on carpet floors. −− Place the scale on a solid, level floor. Affixing the carpet feet 1. Place the scale on a soft base with the bottom facing up. 2. Stick the carpet feet 2 onto the support feet 6 (see fig. A).

GB Handling IRE Setting the level of activity The level of activity is used to calculate your basal and active metabolic rates in calories. Realistically consider your lifestyle in the medium to long-term and then select the correct level of activity.
Handling GB IRE 23 Level of activity Description 4 Active You are active both in your free time and at work. Examples: Waiters, salespersons, nursing services. 5 Very active You engage in strenuous physical activity in your free time and professionally. Examples: Construction workers, farmers, competitive athletes. Performing a measurement NOTICE! For ideal, comparable measurement results, follow the basic rules below when performing a measurement.
GB IRE Handling −− Your feet, legs, calves and thighs may not touch during measurement. −− When you weigh yourself after getting up, give your body approx. 15 minutes to enable proper distribution of the body water percentage in your body. Proceed as follows to perform a measurement: 1. Make sure that the scale is on a solid, level floor. 2. Stand on the scale so that the soles of both feet are touching both the front and back measuring electrode 7 (see fig. C). 3.
Evaluating the measurements GB IRE 25 Once the active metabolic rate is shown, the scale will automatically turn off after approx. four seconds. 5. Step down from the scale. Evaluating the measurements NOTICE! Please keep in mind that all measurements, with the exception of your body weight, are only relevant if you have correctly configured your body parameters (age, body height etc.) in the app.
GB IRE Evaluating the measurements • Persons taking cardiovascular medication (e.g. drugs influencing vessels, circulatory or heart medication), • Persons with considerably shorter or longer leg length, • Children under 10 years of age. Body mass index (BMI) The body mass index is used to distinguish between underweight, normal weight and overweight. You can calculate the value as follows: Weight in lb/(body height in m)2. The BMI is not very conclusive as an absolute value.

The measurements performed by the scale do not allow for medically sound conclusions
Evaluating the measurements GB IRE 29 People with a lower percentage of body fat and high muscle percentage may exhibit a body water percentage that exceeds the reference values (such as endurance athletes). Vice-versa, the body water percentage for people with a high percentage of body fat is often less than reference values. Generally speaking, a high percentage of body water is ideal. The following tables provide an overview of reference values for the body water percentage (%).
GB IRE Evaluating the measurements Muscle percentage The following tables provide an overview of reference values for the muscle percentage (%).
Evaluating the measurements GB IRE 31 Bone mass NOTICE! The scale measures the weight of all parts of your bones in pounds. This is not the same thing as calcium concentration or bone density. Only a medical specialist can measure the calcium concentration and bone density with a special medical device. The bone mass therefore does not provide any information about changes to bones, bone hardness or diseases such as osteoporosis. Our skeleton changes as we age.
GB IRE Evaluating the measurements Basal metabolic rate (BMR) The basal metabolic rate, BMR, refers to the amount of energy your body requires on a daily basis when fully at rest in order to maintain its basic functions. Therefore, you must consume at least this amount of energy through your diet to avoid any harm to your health. Body height, age and weight are the primary factors that affect the basal metabolic rate.
Evaluating the measurements GB IRE 33 Please obtain details on the degrees of activity from the chapter “Setting the level of activity”. Measurements in relation to one another NOTICE! Adding up the measurements for water, fat and muscle percentage does not make sense because a portion of the body water is stored in muscle. In general, only long-term changes to measurements are really conclusive. The individual results must also be considered in relation to one another.
GB IRE Evaluating the measurements Short-term weight loss with a simultaneous increase in the percentage of body fat are also an indication for the sole loss of water. This could be due to diets or workouts that target rapid weight loss without sufficient compensation of water loss. If possible, balance diets with physical activity such as fitness or strength training to increase your muscle percentage.
Cleaning and maintenance GB IRE 35 Cleaning and maintenance Cleaning NOTICE! Risk of damage to property! If you do not clean the scale properly, you could damage it. −− Do not use any aggressive cleaners or solvents. −− Do not use any brushes with metal or nylon bristles, sharp or metallic cleaning utensils such as knives, hard scrapers or similar. −− Do not put the scale in the dishwasher. It would be destroyed as a result. −− Use a cloth moistened with water for cleaning.
GB IRE Storage Changing the batteries If you stand on the scale and “Lo” appears on the display instead of the measurements, the batteries are no longer supplying sufficient power. If you stand on the scale and nothing appears on the display, the batteries are empty. To change the batteries, proceed as follows: 1. Place the scale on a soft base with the bottom facing up. 2. Open the battery compartment 4 (see fig. B). 3. Take the batteries 3 out of the battery compartment. 4.
