Device Description; Initial Use - Beurer BF 400 Instructions For Use Manual

• Do not expose the scale to high temperatures or strong electromagnetic fields (e.g. mobile tele-
phones).
• Protect the device from knocks, damp, dust, chemicals, marked temperature fluctuations and
nearby sources of heat (ovens, heaters).
General tips
• As far as possible, weigh yourself at the same time of day (ideally in the morning), after having been to
the toilet, on an empty stomach and without clothing, in order to obtain results which can be compared.
• Important point regarding the measurement: the calculation of body fat may only be made when bare-
foot; the soles of the feet may be lightly dampened where appropriate.
Results may be unsatisfactory if the soles of the feet are completely dry or have a large amount of hard
skin since conductivity will be impaired.
• Stand up straight and still during the measurement.
• Wait a few hours after any physical exertion to which your body is unaccustomed.
• Wait approx. 15 minutes after getting up so that the water stored in the body can disperse.
• Remember that only the long-term trend is important. Short-term changes in weight within a few days are
normally caused by loss of fluids; however, body water plays an important role in terms of well-being.
Limitations
When calculating body fat and the other values, unusual and implausible results may occur in the case of:
• Children under approx. 10 years of age
• Performance athletes and body-builders
• Persons with a fever, persons undergoing dialysis, persons with oedema symptoms and persons suffer-
ing from osteoporosis
• Persons taking cardiovascular medicine (affecting the heart and vascular system)
• Persons taking vasodilative or vasoconstrictive medication
• Persons with significant anatomical abnormalities in their legs compared with their overall body height
(leg length significantly shorter or longer).
