The Following Data Will Be Displayed; Displaying Measured Value Memory; Tips For Using The Scale; Limitations - Beurer BG 42 Instruction Manual

The following data will be displayed:

– Weight and body fat percentage BF in % (Fig. 5)
– Weight and water percentage
– Weight and muscle percentage
– Bone mass and active metabolic rate "kcal" (Fig. 8).
– Now all measured values are displayed consecutively
and the scale switches off.
Your measured value is automatically stored during switch-
off. Two memories are available for each user for this pur-
pose.

Displaying measured value memory

After selecting a memory and carrying out a determination of body fat, the display "0.0" appears briefly. Pressing
the "down" button displays your last stored measured value. The weight, percentage of body fat, percentage of
body water and muscle mass are displayed consecutively. Pressing the "down"
second-to-the-last stored measured value.

Tips for using the scale

– If possible, always weigh yourself at the same time of day (preferably in the morning) striving for comparable con-
ditions such as after using the toilet, on an empty stomach and unclothed, in order to achieve comparable results.
– Stand still and upright during the measurement.
– Wait a few hours after unaccustomed physical activity.
– Wait approx. 15 minutes after getting up in the morning to allow the water in the body to distribute.
– Remember that only long-term trends are important. Short-term changes in weight within a few days are usually
caused by a loss of fluid. Body water plays an important role towards our general well-being.
Important when measuring body fat/body water/muscle percentage/bone mass:
– The measurement may only be carried out while barefoot. Dry soles or callused skin can result in unsatisfac-
tory results, as they have insufficient conductivity.
– Your feet, legs, calves and thighs must not touch each other, as otherwise the measurement cannot be per-
formed correctly.

7. Limitations

When measuring body fat and other values, deviating and implausible results may occur in:
– growing children under 10,
– competitive athletes and body builders,
– post menopausal women,
– people with fever, undergoing dialysis treatment or with symptoms of edema or osteoporosis,
– people taking cardiovascular medication (affecting the heart and vascular system),
– people taking vascular dilating or vascular constricting medication,
– people with considerable anatomic deviations of the legs in relation to total height (length of the legs consi-
derably shortened or lengthened),
– people with prosthetic or one leg,
– people who suffer from swelling,
– elderly people,
– people who drink coffee or alcohol.
