Important Safety Advice - Tronic KH 88R Operating Instructions Manual

FOREWORD: BODY FAT
Regular monitoring of fat and weight is the prerequisite for your health and fitness. Fat contributes considerably to the load
on the body, particularly the heart and blood circulatory system. The proportion of fat in the human body is different for each
individual. There are heavy people who nevertheless may have a balanced ratio of fat and muscle, and there are apparently
slim people who may have a much higher proportion of body fat.
Body fat has an important role to play in our bodies. It protects the joints, stores vitamins and controls body temperature.
With this in mind, radically reducing the amount of fat in your body must not become an absolute goal. A more sensible aim
should be to achieve and maintain a balanced ratio of muscle to fat.
You have to know your proportion of body fat to be able to judge your actual degree of fitness.
The KH 88R body fat monitoring bathroom scale allows you to enter data about your body. The table below shows the
relationship between the amount of body fat and age and gender. It serves as a yardstick for your personal fitness profile.
Body fat proportion in %
Age
20 – 24
25 – 29
30 – 34
35 – 39
40 – 44
45 – 49
50 – 59
> 60
You should always measure fat at the same time of the day because the proportion of fat varies greatly during the course
of the day. The best time for fat monitoring is between 18.00 and 20.00 hours.

IMPORTANT SAFETY ADVICE

1) If the weight on the scale exceeds the maximum capacity of 150 kg (or 330 lb), then the display shows "0-Ld".
You should step off the scale immediately to avoid damaging it.
2) If the display shows "L0", the batteries require changing.
3) If the display shows "Err", this means that the scale is not able to measure body fat. If this occurs then you should check
the following:
- go through the data input stage again and check that your personal data is still correct.
- do not wear shoes or socks. Make sure that your feet are clean and dry (if your feet are too dry, the scale may not
operate correctly. In this case, moisten your feet slightly with a moist cloth and that should solve the problem).
Always stand as steadily as possible on the scale and do not interrupt the measuring process.
4) If the display shows 'Err1', then this means that there is a problem with the infrared transmission.
Move the scale or the remote control handset to obtain better signal transmission.
DO NOT USE THE SCALE IF YOU ARE PREGNANT OR ARE USING A DEVICE SUCH AS A HEART PACEMAKER,
RESPIRATOR OR ELECTROCARDIOGRAM.
THE SCALE CAN GIVE FALSE RESULTS FOR CHILDREN UNDER 15 OR FOR PEOPLE OVER 70 YEARS OLD.
THE SAME APPLIES FOR PEOPLE WITH OSTEOPOROSIS OR VERY LOW BONE DENSITY, DIALYSIS PATENTS
OR PEOPLE WHO TAKE PART IN PERFORMANCE SPORTS. THIS SCALE CAN BE STILL VERY HELPFUL FOR
MONITORING CHANGES IN THE PROPORTION OF BODY FAT. HOWEVER, A PRECISE READING OF THE
PROPORTION OF BODY FAT CANNOT BE GUARANTEEED.
