Transtek Body Fat Analyzer LS208-B8 applies BIA (Bio-impedance Analysis) technology.
A small amount of weak current flows through the human body so as to detect the
bio-impedance and estimate calorie, BMI, body fat, body water, muscle mass and bone
mass. The electrical current is small and may not be felt.
This BIA technology is cheap, safe, non-invasive, toxic-free and harmless. It also
possesses the characteristics of simple operation and abundant information.
The current mentioned above is less than 0.5mA. However, please be aware that anyone
with an wearable or implantable medical electronic instrument, such as a pacemaker, must
avoid using this device.
The intended use of this device is for healthy children 10-17 years old and healthy adults.
CAUTION

Appendix Appendix
Table of Body Fat Level (Unit: %)
a) The body fat percentage (%): 5%-60%/0.1%
Health Tips - About Body Fat
Human body is made up of, amongst other things, a percentage of fat. Body fat is vital
for a healthy, functioning body, protects vital organs, helps regulate body temperature,
stores vitamins and helps the body sustain itself when food is scarce. However, too much
body fat or indeed too little body fat will damage to your health. It is difficult to gauge how
much body fat we have in our bodies simply by looking at ourselves in the mirror.
This is why it is important to measure and monitor your body fat percentage. Body fat
percentage gives you a better measure of fitness than weight alone–the composition of
your weight loss could mean you are losing muscle mass rather than fat-you could still
have a high percentage of fat even when a scale indicates‘normal weight’.
The table as follows may be used as a guide: Table of Body Water Level (Unit: %)
Health Tips - About Body Water
Body water is the single most important component of body weight. It represents over
half of your total weight and almost two thirds of your lean body mass (predominantly
muscle). Water performs a number of important roles in the body:
All the cells in the body, whether in the skin, glands, muscles, brain or anywhere else,
can only function properly if they have enough water. Water also plays a vital part in
regulating the body’s temperature balance, particularly through perspiration.
The combination of your weight and fat measurement could appear to be ‘normal’ but
your body hydration level could be insufficient for healthy living.

Muscle Mass Percentage
Bone Mass Percentage
Health Tips - About Muscle Mass
According to the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), lean muscle mass may
decrease by nearly 50 percent between the age of 20 and 90. If you do nothing with it
you’re losing muscle and increasing fat. It is also important to know your muscle mass %
during weight reduction. At rest, the body burns approximately 110 additional calories for
each kilo of muscle gained. Benifits of gaining muscle mass include:
• Reversing the decline in strength, bone density and muscle mass with aging
• Maintenance of flexible joints
• Guide weight reduction when combined with a healthy diet.
Health Tips - About Bone Mass
Regular exercise and a balanced diet can help maintain healthy bones. Like muscle,
bone is a living tissue that can respond to exercise by becoming stronger. For most
people, bone mass peaks in their thirties. Then people begin to lose bone. Regular
exercise can help prevent that loss.
Calcium and vitamin D, good sources of which are dairy products, green leafy
vegetables and fish, contribute to healthy bones.
The bone mass readings given by this product are anestimation of the amount of bone in
your body. Those with osteoporosis or low bone densities may not get accurate
estimations. If you have any concern regarding your bones please consult your doctor
timely.

Health Tips - About BMI
Maintaining proper weight is essential to healthy living. Obesity has been linked to a
higher risk of heart disease, diabetes and some forms of cancer. The Body Mass Index
(BMI) is the most widely accepted measurement of weight according to health
professionals. The Analyzer will calculate your BMI on your height and weight.

The device uses your age, height, gender and an activity level setting to calculate
the estimated number of calories you can consume a day to maintain your present weight.
This estimation may gradually help you with a weight loss, gain or maintenance plan.

aField strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular /
cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broad-
cast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the
electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site
survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which
the device is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the device
should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed,
additional measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the device.
Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than
[ ]V/m.

Recommended separation distances
between portable and mobile RF communications equipment and the device.
The device is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which
radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the device
can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance
between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmittters) and the
device as recommended below, according to the maximum output power of the
communications equipment.
Rated maximum output
power of transmitter
(W)
Separation distance according to frequency of transmitter (m)
For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the recommended
separation distance d in metres (m) can be estimated using the equation applicable to
the frequency of the transmitter, where P is the maximum output power rating of the
transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer.
NOTE 1 At 80MHz and 800MHz, the separation distance for the higher frequency
range applies.
NOTE 2 These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation
