Manual

The human body is made up of, amongst other things, a percentage of fat.This is vital for a healthy,

functioning body - it cushions joints and 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 can be damaging 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.

That 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’.

BODY FAT - WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

It can serve as a guide to whether you need to adjust your diet, fitness program or fluid intake to help

achieve a healthy balance. See tables below.

CAUTION: Do not use this product if you have a pacemaker or other medical device fitted. If

in doubt, consult your doctor.

HOW CAN KNOWING YOUR BODY FAT HELP?

1. Select weight mode. 2. Ensure +/- terminals are

the correct way round.

3. Position scale on flat surface.

PREPARING YOUR SCALE

Fat cells and lean/muscle cells have different conductivity. Using a system known as Bio-electrical Impedance

Analysis (BIA) the body fat analyser passes a minute, harmless, electrical impulse through the body to

determine a resistance reading.This reading is then processed along with the users age, weight, sex and height

to calculate the body fat percentage. For the most consistent results only use the Salter Body Analyser Scale

when your body is normally hydrated (i.e. not following excessive perspiration, nor just after a bath, nor after

drinking a lot of water or alcohol).

My scale shows an unrealistically low weight when I stand on it, why is that? Verified
