AMR
The active metabolic rate (AMR) is the amount of energy that an active body consumes each day. An
individual's energy requirement increases when the level of physical activity increases; the scale calculates
this by means of the activity level (1– 5) that has been entered.
To maintain the current weight, the energy that the body uses must be replaced in the form of food and
drink. If less energy is taken in than is used over a long period of time, the body takes the difference from
its fat stores, and weight loss results. However, if the amount of energy taken in exceeds the calculated
active metabolic rate (AMR) for a longer period, the body cannot burn off the excess energy. The excess is
stored in the body as fat, leading to weight gain.
Interpreting Results
NOTE: Only long-term trends are important. Brief deviations in weight within a few days are normally
caused by loss of fluids.
Interpretation of these results is based on changes in total body weight, percentage of body fat, body
water and muscle content, as well as the length of time over which these changes occur. Rapid changes
within the scope of a few days are considered separately from medium-term changes (in the scope of
weeks) and long-term changes (months). As a basic rule, short-term changes in weight are almost entirely
changes in water con-tent, whereas medium-term and long-term changes may indicate changes in fat
percentage and muscle percentage.
• If you experience short-term weight loss but your body fat percentage increases or stays the same,
you have only lost water, such as after a training session, visit to the sauna, or a diet aimed only at fast
weight loss.
• On the other hand, if your weight increases in the medium term and your body fat percentage drops or
stays the same, you may have increased your muscle mass.
• If your weight and body fat percentage both fall at the same time, then your diet is working – you are
losing fat mass.
• Ideally, you should support your diet with physical activity, fitness or strength training. This enables you
to increase your muscle percentage in the medium term.
• Body fat, body water, and muscle percentages should not be totaled, since muscle tissue also contains
components made of body water.

User assignment
It is possible to assign up to eight users for weight-only measurement (with shoes) or diagnosis
measurement (bare feet). For a new measurement, the scale assigns a measurement to the user whose
most recently saved measurement is within 6.6lb of the active measurement. If two or more users have
potentially been recognised, the display switches between them. Select your user by pressing the
up-button.
Saving the assigned measurements on the scale
If the app is open and your mobile device is paired with the scale via Bluetooth, newly assigned
measurements are sent to the app and not saved on the scale. If the app is not open, the newly assigned
measurements are saved on the scale. A total of 30 measurements per user can be saved. The saved
measurements are transferred automatically to the app if you open the app within Bluetooth® range.
Data synchronization takes place within 10 seconds. It is also possible to transfer data when the scale is
switched off.
Reviewing Saved Measurements
To view saved measurements on the scale, touch the
displaying the desired user; this may need to be done several times to recall older values. Measurements
that have already been transferred to the app can no longer be viewed on the scale.
