These electronic body analysis scale have the following functions: With the help of your personal data and the recommendations of health and body composition experts, Body Balance tells you your condition regarding weight, proportions of fat, water and muscle in your body and your energy consumption. Individual assessment of the analysis result with personal recommendations on what to do. Optional display of the trends of weight, proportion of fat, water and muscle in the body and energy consumption in time intervals of days, weeks or months for each standard range. Separate radio controlled terminal with a range of 3 metres. 8-person memory with automatic person recognition ➀ In the scale: Important advice We recommend that you consult a doctor if you are overweight and are trying to reduce your weight, or if you are underweight and are trying to put on weight. Treatment and diet should only take place in consultation with your doctor. Recommendations on exercise programs or weight loss diets, on the basis of the values determined, should be provided by your doctor or certified health professional. Do not try to interpret the data yourself. SOEHNLE will not be liable for damage or loss caused by the Body Balance or for third party claims. This product is intended for personal home use only. It is not designed for professional use in hospitals or medical facilities. Not suitable for people with electronic implants, such as pacemakers, etc. ➁ In the operator terminal: Set the clock ➀ Input hour (▼ = down, ▲ = up) and confirm ). ➁ Input minutes (▼ = down, ▲ = up) and confirm ). ➂ If you wish to change the time (Summer time /winter time) at a later point, you can switch to time mode by pressing the ▼/▲ keys at the same time. BA_comfort_470_065_267_USA3.qxd 13.01.2006 Installation ➀ Place the scale level and on a firm surface for all measurements. 17:45 Uhr Seite 5 To do this remove the cover from the magnetic wall bracket by inserting a fingernail or a knifepoint under the slot and levering off the cover. Then drill 2 holes in the wall at a distance of 2 cm horizontally from each other. The drill size is dependent on whether you need to use wall plugs. Then screw in and press cover back in. Put the operator terminal on the magnetic bracket. Danger! Risk of slipping if surface is wet. ➁ The operator terminal may optionally be held in the hand, placed on a table, remain on the scale or be hung on the wall. When fixing the magnetic wall bracket to a solid, smooth, dry and dustand grease-free base it is sufficient for you to put the wall bracket into the oval slot on the back of the operator terminal. Then remove the tape over the adhesive patch and press the operator terminal to the fixing position horizontally at eye level. 2x 2x ➂ Option to change country-specific settings between kg/cm and lb/in or st/in. Depending on the choice of unit of weight, you can switch back to the clock mode with the key. ➃ The operator terminal and the scale With tiles or a rough surface, no guarantee can be given of the length of life of the adhesion. You should therefore screw the wall bracket in place. are in radio contact. Radio-aided computer components, HIFI components or radio-controlled toys may cause an operational error (see error messages). BA_comfort_470_065_267_USA3.qxd 13.01.2006 Seite 6 ➃ Input age (▼ = down, ▲ = up) and confirm Data input To use the Soehnle Body Balance correctly, the personal data for each person need to be input into the operator terminal and you should then immediately step on the scale barefoot. If weight is placed on the scale during input, then they immediately switch – as long as there is radio contact between the operator terminal and the scale – to the weighing and analysis mode and they cannot be used again until the scale has switched back to the clock mode (20 sec. after the weight is removed from the scale). ➀ Start data input ( 17:45 Uhr ) and confirm ( ). ➄ Select sex (▼ = männlich, ▲ = weiblich) and confirm ( ). ). ➅ Input desired activity level If anyone’s data is already stored, you must select the “NEW” display with the ▼/▲keys and confirm with ( ). (▼ = down, ▲ = up) and confirm ( ). This level is required for determining energy consumption. ➁ Select memory (P1 ... P8) (▼ = down, ▲ = up) and confirm ( ). ➂ Input height (▼ = down, ▲ = up) and confirm ). Scarcely any body movement (max. 2 hours/day) Light, active, sitting and standing activity Home and garden work, mainly standing, only occasionally seated Sportspeople and people with a high level of activity People involved in heavy work or high-level sport BA_comfort_470_065_267_USA3.qxd 13.01.2006 ➆ Input the desired period for the trend display (day, week or month) (▼ = down, ▲ = up) and confirm ( ). We recommend selecting a daily trend to start with because otherwise the first measurement value will not be shown in the trend display until after a week or a month. 17:45 Uhr Seite 7 Body analysis Analysis is only possible barefoot. Personal data must have been input in advance. For meaningful results, step on the scale unclothed whenever possible and always under the same conditions. ➀ Step on the scale. Your weight is then displayed and, as long as the display lasts (~5 sec.), so is a bar display. Hold still until the analysis is completed. ➇ Confirm “OK” ( ) and, as soon as 0.0 flashes and the bar display is operating, step on the scale barefoot. If the input data are to be changed again before the first analysis, you can jump back to height with the ▼/▲ keys. The first measurement is indispensable for storing the data for later automatic person recognition. If you dont step on the scale the message “ERROR” appears in the display and the data input must be repeated. ➁ After automatic personal recognition the display once more shows the body weight, the proportions of fat ( ), water ( ), and musceles ( ) in the body and the energy consumption (kcal). The normal range of the relevant person lies in the 3 middle sections of the bar display. After you have stepped on the scale, the first body analysis will be performed as described on the following pages. normal normal normal normal The scale has a time-out mode. It switches back to the time after about 40 seconds if the keys are not touched. Data is retained even when batteries are changed. BA_comfort_470_065_267_USA3.qxd 13.01.2006 17:45 Uhr Seite 8 Please note that only your body weight can be determined and no body analysis can be performed if you step on the scale in shoes or socks! The values are not entered into the trend analysis. normal Then a personal action recommendation is displayed. A luxury feature of this body analysis scale product is automatic personal recognition. Recognition is achieved mainly by body weight. In the event of changes of over ± 3 kg between individual measurements, automatic identification is no longer possible and the measurement cannot be assigned to any trend graph. This may be the case if you do not step on the scale for several days (e.g. holiday) or you weigh yourself in clothing of different weights. Please therefore observe the following rules whenever possible: Meaning of the symbols: You should drink more! Muscle-building training is recommended! Change of diet is recommended! Your analysis figures are fine! ➂ Step off the scale. The scale switch off automatically. In rare cases, automatic assignment to a personal memory is not possible. The memories of the people who cannot be distinguished are displayed. Since the measurement has already been taken, you can step off the scale and confirm your personal memory with the key located below it (▼ or ▲). Then body weight, the proportions of fat, water and muscle in the body and calorie requirements are displayed. - Weigh yourself daily. - Preferably always under the same conditions and at the same time of day. For example, in the morning after getting up, on an empty stomach and nude. - If you weigh yourself dressed, then ensure that the weight of the clothing itself is always very similar since the results will otherwise be false. BA_comfort_470_065_267_USA3.qxd 13.01.2006 Accessing your analysis values (STATE) The latest analysis values of the people stored can be accessed on demand. ➀ Start access ( 17:45 Uhr Seite 9 ➃ By pressing the key again you can access the trend graphs. You can switch between the individual trend graphs with the ▼/▲ keys.. ). ➁ Select memoryz (P1 ... P8) with the ▼/▲ keys and confirm ( ). ➂ Confirm “STATE” ( ). Then you can select the latest analysis values with the ▼/▲ keys. By pressing the key again you access the personal action recommendation from your last analysis. ➄ By repeatedly pressing the you can choose between the different levels of the display menu. With “EXIT” or “OFF” and confirmation with the key you can access the higher level in each case. After 3 minutes without the keys being touched, the display switches back to the clock. BA_comfort_470_065_267_USA3.qxd 13.01.2006 17:45 Uhr Seite 10 Changing personal data (SET) Deleting personal data (DEL) If for instance: - age is increased by one year (birthday), - height changes (children in the growth phase) - the activity level type is changed, then proceed as follows: If data for a person – together with the trend history – are to be completely deleted, then proceed as follows: ➀ Start data input ( ➀ Start data input ( ). ). ➁ Select memory (P1 ... P8) with the ▼/▲ keys ➁ Select memory (P1 ... P8) with the ▼/▲ keys and confirm with ( and confirm with ( ). ). ➂ Select “DEL” with the ▼/▲ keys and confirm ➂ “Set” with ▼/▲ keys and confirm with ( ). with ( ). A question will be asked for security purposes. Pressing the ▲ key deletes this person’s entire data beyond recovery. The memory can be reused. Quit the deletion procedure by pressing the ▼ key and the data will be retained. Then you can change the desired data as already described under “Data input”. After confirmation with “OK” your new data are stored. The changed data will be taken into account from the next analysis onwards. 10 BA_comfort_470_065_267_USA3.qxd 13.01.2006 17:45 Uhr Seite 11 Trend display Please use the scale regularly so that the graph shows the most accurate trend possible. 59 values are shown in the trend graph, assuming a corresponding number of measurements is available. In the event of several measurements in one day, a single average value will be stored. 7 daily values give one weekly average value. 30 daily values give the monthly average value. If only one line is shown right at the top or bottom, this means that the entire graph lies above or below the normal range. The value stated after “max” or “min” corresponds to the maximum or minimum value in the graph rounded up or down to the nearest whole figure. The normal range calculated for each person is shown in the trend display by the area between the boundary lines. Symbols Border line Unit Normal range Maximum value Body fat Border line Body water Muscle proportion If a boundary line for the normal range relative to the trend graph lies outside the display area, then the relevant boundary line is displayed right at the edge. Status indicator Trend display Day - Week - Month Minimum value Recommendation* * Meaning of the symbols: You should drink more! Muscle-building training is recommended! Change of diet is recommended! Your analysis figures are fine! 11 BA_comfort_470_065_267_USA3.qxd 13.01.2006 17:45 Uhr Seite 12 Individual recommendation The Body Balance uses your personal data and the recommendations of health experts to determine your ideal weight and body fat level. In addition, it determines the percentage of total body water and muscle proportion. Please note that your muscles also contain body water and this is already covered by the body water analysis. Therefore the total analysis always shows a value above 100%. Body weight lb/BMI Whilst the body weight is shown in the display in kg, one of the 9 segments is shown in the bar below it. Here the position of the active segment indicates the assessment of the body weight mentioned on the basis of the BMI figure. The BMI (Body Mass Index) is a measure for the health risk resulting from overweight or underweight. On the basis of categorisation of the BMI, doctors distinguish between "underweight”, "normal weight”, "overweight” and "obese”. BMI = body weight (lb) x 703 height (“) x height (“) Difference compared with your individual standard value BMI < - 7,5 - 7,5 -5 - 2,5 + 2,5 +5 + 7,5 >+ 7,5 Proportion of body fat Whilst the proportion of body fat in % is shown in the display, one of the 9 segments appears in the bar below it. Too much body fat is unhealthy and does not look nice. What is more important is that a high proportion of body fat is also usually associated with a raised proportion of fat in the blood and this increases greatly the risk of various illnesses such as for instance diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure etc. But a very low proportion of body fat is equally unhealthy. Apart from the fatty tissue under the skin, the body also stores important fat deposits for the protection of the internal organs and to ensure important metabolic functions. If this essential fat reserve is compromised, this can lead to metabolic disturbance. So for instance in women with body fat figures of under 10%, menstruation may cease. In addition, the risk of osteoporosis increases. The normal proportion of body fat is dependent on age and above all on sex. In women the normal figure is about 10% higher than in men. With increasing age the body loses muscle mass and so the proportion of body fat increases. 12 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Difference compared with your individual standard value 1 < - 12 % - 12 % -7% -3% 0% +3% +7% + 12 % 9 > + 12 % very low proportion of fat low proportion of fat normal proportion of fat high proportion of fat very high proportion of fat Example: Actual body fat proportion calculated = 31.3 % of total weight This value is about 7 % above the calculated individual standard value. BA_comfort_470_065_267_USA3.qxd 13.01.2006 17:45 Uhr Seite 13 Proportion of water in the body Whilst the proportion of water in the body in % is shown in the display, one of the 9 segments appears in the bar below it. The figure shown in this analysis reflects the "total body water” (TBW). The body of an adult is composed of about 60% water. Here there is of course a certain range, with older people showing a lower proportion of water than younger people and men showing a higher proportion than women. The distinction between men and women is a result of the higher mass of body fat in women. Since the majority of the body’s water is to be found in the fat-free mass (73% of the FFM is water) and since the water content in the fat is very low by its nature (about10% of the fatty tissue is water), the proportion of body fat automatically decreases with an increasing proportion of water in the body. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Difference compared with your individual standard value <-6% very low proportion of water -6% low proportion of water -4% -2% normal proportion of water 0% +2% +4% high proportion of water +6% 9 >+6% Example: Calculated actual proportion of water in the body = 51.7 % of total weight This value is about 4 % below the calculated individual standard value. Proportion of muscle Whilst the proportion of muscle in % is shown in the display, one of the 9 segments appears in the bar below it. The muscle mass is the engine of our bodies. Most of our energy conversion takes place in our muscles. The muscles take care of the maintenance of body temperature and they are the basis of our bodily performance. An exercised, muscular body is seen as aesthetically pleasing. A check of the muscle mass is particularly important for people with weight and fat problems. Since the body needs muscles to reduce excess energy reserves or folds of fat, longterm weight reduction can only be achieved in parallel with reduction of muscle mass. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Difference compared with your individual standard value <-6% -6% -4% -2% 0% +2% +4% +6% >+6% very low proportion of muscle low proportion of muscle normal proportion of muscle high proportion of muscle Example: Actual proportion of muscle calculated = 30.4 % of total body weight This value is about 6 % below the calculated individual standard value. 13 BA_comfort_470_065_267_USA3.qxd 13.01.2006 17:45 Uhr Seite 14 Energy consumption While energy consumption is shown in the display in kcal, one of the 9 segments appears in the graphics panel below. Energy consumption is calculated from the personal data – corrected by a factor for the relevant activity type - and the distribution of body mass measured. Basic rate + performance rate = energy consumption If you take in fewer kilocalories than your individual energy consumption, then your body will react by losing weight. Your weight will increase if you take in more calories. kcal 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Difference compared with your individual standard value 1 < - 15 % very low energy consumption 2 - 15 % low energy consumption 3 - 10 % -5% 0 % normal energy consumption +5% 7 + 10 % highr energy consumption 8 + 15 % 9 > + 15 % Example: Energy consumption measured = 1,855 kcal This value is 5% below the calculated normal level of energy consumption. Factors influencing measurement readings Analysis is based on the measurement of the body's electrical resistance. Eating and drinking habits during the course of the day and individual lifestyle affect the water balance. This is noticeable by the fluctuations in the display. In order to ensure that the results of analysis are a accurate and consistent as possible, keep the measurement conditions constant, as only in this way will you be able to observe changes over an extended period. Other factors can affect water balance: After a bath, the body fat reading may be too low and the body water reading too high. After a meal, readings can be higher. Women may experience fluctuations due to the menstrual cycle. 14 Due to loss of water caused by illness or after physical activity (sport). After taking exercise, wait for 6 to 8 hours before carrying out the next measurement. Varying or implausible results can occur in the case of: Persons with a high temperature, symptoms of oedema or osteoporosis Persons undergoing dialysis treatment Persons taking cardiovascular medicine Pregnant women Athletes who undertake more than 10 hours of intensive training per week and have a resting pulse rate of under 60/min Competitive athletes and body builders BA_comfort_470_065_267_USA3.qxd 13.01.2006 17:45 Uhr Seite 15 Important notes How do I measure correctly? It is best if you are naked and barefoot for measuring. Make sure that you always measure under the same conditions (e.g. in the morning on an empty stomach) and at the same time. How often do I have to measure myself with the Soehnle body monitoring instruments? Basically, it’s up to you. We recommend, however, to measure always at the same time and under the same conditions. Those who want to be very precise measure 2 to 3 times a day. Eating and drinking habits during the course of the day and individual lifestyle affect water balance. This is noticeable by the fluctuations in the display. The scale saves the average value. Is it possible to notice a change in the percentage of body mass proportions even on the first day? It is quite possible that the body monitoring device will show different values. This is due to the fluctuations in water balance during the course of the day. Normally, the body fat proportion changes very slowly – within a few days or weeks. Are the saved trend curves lost, if you change the data in a personal memory? No. Only if the data are deleted. What is the meaning of the trend curve? Daily curve (day) means: The daily average values of the last 59 days are displayed. The last value is always added on the right. Weekly curve (week) means: 7 daily readings are used to determine a weekly average. Therefore, the first weekly average can only be shown after one week*. The last 59 weekly average values are displayed. Monthly curve (month) means: The last 30 daily average values. So the first monthly value can only appear after 30 days *. 59 monthly average values. * Therefore, we recommend using the daily trend display at the beginning. Can the measurement results be affected by external factors? The display values may be affected under extreme electromagnetic conditions e.g. with the operation of a radio-operated device in the immediate vicinity of the scale. Once the interference stops, the product can be correctly used again. Switching it on again may be necessary. 15 BA_comfort_470_065_267_USA3.qxd 13.01.2006 Messages ➀ Batteries in the operator unit (LOW BAT-T) or the base (LOW BAT-B) low. ➁ Overload: From 330 lb/150 kg. ➂ Implausible analysis result – check individual programming ➃ Bad foot-contact: + clean scale or feet or check for sufficient skin moisture. ➄ If skin is too dry – moisten feet or carry out measurement after taking a bath or shower. ➅ Interference with radio contact between scale and operator terminal. The range of the radio signal and correct operation are dependent on several factors: Battery condition, location and position, screening objects, other devices on the same frequency band ➀ ➁ ➂ ➃ ➄ ➅ Under the environment with electrostatic discharge, the ‘Body Balance Comfort F5’ could not maintain communication link and require the user to take off the battery and insert it again.
