Body fat proportion
range in %
Reliable measurements can only be achieved under
certain prerequisites:
• Always measure barefoot.
• The feet must have a good contact with the electrodes on the standing
area.
• Stand upright.
• Carry out the measurement approximately 15 minutes after getting up,
or after bathing or showering, with towel-dried feet.
• Please measure at the same time of day if possible.
• Do not measure after strenuous physical exercise. Wait at least an hour
before measuring.
• There must not be any dirt stuck to the soles of your feet. Erroneous
measuring results may occur if the soles of your feet are dry or extremely
callused.
The amount of body fat, water content and muscle mass can only be
reliably monitored using the measurements if they are taken consistently.
Measurements that are taken under varying conditions can return different
values.
