CONTENTS 1x Runtastic LIBRA, 3x 1.5V AAA Alkaline batteries, 4x Carpet feet and 1x Quick Install Guide The Quick Install Guide, carpet feet and batteries are located in the recess below the scale. ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY Very strong magnetic fields (e.g. transformers) should be avoided since they may cause distortions of the transmission signals. Non-compliance with this information may lead to malfunction of or damage to your scale.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Please read these instructions carefully, make them available to other users and follow the instructions. • • • • • Warning The scale must not be used by people with medical implants (e.g. pacemakers). Otherwise, their function may be impaired. Not intended for use during pregnancy. Do not step on one side of the outer edge of the scale – danger of tipping over! Keep packaging away from children (choking hazard).
Never expose the batteries to excessive heat, such as solar radiation, fire, etc. This can increase the risk of leakage. Non-compliance with this information may lead to damage and, under certain circumstances, even explosion of the batteries. Promptly remove an empty battery from the scale. Otherwise, it runs the risk of leaking. If a battery is leaking, put on protective gloves and clean the battery compartment with a dry cloth.
CAUTION • The device should be cleaned from time to time. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents. • The Runtastic LIBRA scale also works in moist environments as found in bathrooms. Condensed water on the scale (caused by hot showers, etc.) will not damage the scale. The scale must not be immersed in water. Do not rinse the scale under running water. Avoid spilling large quantities of water on the scale. Before stepping on the scale, carefully dry the glass surface to prevent slipping.
DEVICE DESCRIPTION Overview 1. Electrodes = conductive ITO coating (ITO refers to an indium tin oxide coating of the scale surface). 2. Display 1. Electrode = conductive ITO coating DISPOSAL Batteries are hazardous waste. Batteries can be disposed of correctly by shops selling batteries and at municipal collection points where there are appropriate containers. If you wish to discard your device, please dispose of it in accordance with the applicable local rules and regulations.
Also dispose of the packaging according to the applicable regulations. Your municipal collection point can provide you with the relevant information. FIRST OPERATION Insert batteries The batteries are individually packaged and not in the battery compartment yet. Remove the protective film from the batteries and insert the batteries with the correct polarity. If the scale fails to operate, remove the battery completely and insert it again.

It’s time for your first measurement! First, take off your shoes and socks to generate accurate results. Then, press the button when you are ready and step onto the scale. Congratulations, you have successfully configured the Runtastic LIBRA. For further information please visit our support page help.runtastic.
INFORMATION The measuring principle This scale operates based on bioelectrical impedance analysis, BIA, where imperceptible, completely harmless and safe alternating current is used for the measurement of body metrics within a few seconds. With the measurement of electrical resistance (impedance) and the inclusion of constants as well as individual values (age, height, gender, and activity level), a person’s body fat and other body metrics can be determined.
Restrictions Deviations and implausible values may result from the determination of body fat and other metrics in: • • • • • • children under 10 years, pregnant women, people with a fever, undergoing dialysis treatment, with edema symptoms or osteoporosis, people taking cardiovascular medication (for their heart and vascular system), people taking vasodilatory agents or vasoconstrictors, people with significant anatomical differences in their legs in relation to their total height (significantly shortened
3 Moderately active: You are moderately active and regularly opt for moving or standing activities. Also includes folks who exercise regularly despite having a desk job. Often includes: assembly line workers, craftsmen and so on. 4 Quite active: You are constantly on the go in your spare time and/or find yourself on your feet the entire day at work. Often includes: service industry employees, sales representatives and nursing employees.
EVALUATION OF THE RESULTS Body fat The evaluation of body fat is illustrated by a bar below your displayed body fat. The following body fat values in % are intended as guidelines (for more information, please consult your doctor!).
Body water content The proportion of body water in % normally lies within the following ranges: Man Age Low Normal High 10-29 <55 55-75 >75 30-49 <50 50-70 >70 >50 <48 48-68 >68 Age Low Normal High 10-29 <52 52-72 >72 30-49 <40 40-60 >60 >50 <45 45-65 >65 Woman Body fat contains relatively little water. Therefore, the body water content of people with a high body fat ratio may remain below these guidelines.
Muscle mass The muscle mass in % normally lies within the following ranges: Man Age Low Normal High 10-29 <40 40-50 % >50 30-59 <33 33-45 % >45 60-69 <32 32-40 % >40 >70 <30 30-35 % >35 Alter Low Normal High 10-29 <35 35-45 % >45 30-59 <28 28-40 % >40 60-69 <23 23-35 % >35 >70 <23 23-30 % >30 Woman Bone mass Just like the rest of our body, our bones are subject to natural generation, degradation and aging processes.
Caution: Do not confuse bone mass with bone density. Bone density can only be determined by medical examination (e.g. CAT scan, ultrasound). Therefore, it is not possible to draw conclusions about changes in bones and bone hardness (e.g. osteoporosis) with this scale. BMR The basal metabolic rate (BMR) indicates the amount of energy expended by the body at complete rest to maintain its basic vital functions (e.g. when lying 24 hours in bed). This value greatly depends on weight, height and age.
the water content, while medium and long-term fluctuations can be due to changes regarding body fat and muscle mass. • If your weight decreases within a short period of time, but your body fat increases or remains constant, you just lost water - for example, after a workout, a sauna session or a diet aiming at rapid weight loss only. • If your weight increases in the medium term and your body fat decreases or remains constant, you might have built up valuable muscle mass.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS? The maximum load capacity of 180 kg was exceeded. Only load up to 180 kg. The fat ratio is outside the measurable range (less than 5% or greater than 50%). Repeat the measurement barefoot or slightly wet your feet. The batteries in the scale are running out. Change the batteries in the scale. Scale has a false zero. Wait until the scale turns itself off again. Activate the scale correctly now, wait for display to show "0.0" and then repeat the measurement.
