ENGLISH
• please read the instructions carefully and completely
before operating this appliance and retain for future
use.
• The appliance is intended solely for domestic use within
the home.
• Always use batteries which corresponds with the voltage
printed on the bottom of the appliance.
• Attention:
Do not use during pregnancy. Inaccurate
measurements may be caused by the amniotic fluid.
• Attention: the scale may not be used
by persons with medical implants (e.g.
pacemakers). otherwise their function may
be impaired.
• If possible, always weigh yourself at the same time of
day (preferably in the morning), after using the toilet,
on an empty stomach and unclothed, in order to achieve
comparable results.
• Stand on the scale without moving and with equal
weight distribution on both feet!
• Minor deviations are normal. When you drink 1 glass of
water for exemple a difference of 300 grams can occur.
• Caution! Do not stand on the scale with wet feet and do
not step on the scale when its surface is wet – danger
of slipping!
• Protect the scale against hard knocks, moisture, dust,
chemicals, major temperature fluctuations and heat
sources which are too close (stove, heating radiators).
• When you want to store the scale for a longer period,
we advise to keep it in the original carton.
• Always ensure that the scale is placed on a flat, stable
surface and only use it indoors.
• repairs may only be carried out by Inventum customer
service or authorized dealers. Before submitting any
complaint, first check the batteries and replace them if
necessary.
• If you decide never to use the appliance again, we
advise you to dispose of it in special containers or at a

municipal waste collection point.
• never immerse the scale in water or other liquids.
• The device is only for private use and is not intended for
medical or commercial purposes.
• Please note that technically related measuring
tolerances are possible, as the scale is not calibrated for
professional medical applications.
• The scale can accept a maximum load of 150 kg
(24 St/ 330 lb). The weight measurement is displayed in
increments of 100 g (¼ St/ 0.2lb). The measuring results
for the body fat, body water and muscle percentages
are displayed in 0.1% increments.
• On delivery the scale is set to the units "cm" and "kg". A
switch located on the back of the scale enables you to
change to "inch", "pound" (lb).
• If the appliance is used for other purposes than
intended, or is it not handled in accordance with the
instruction manual, the full responsibility for any
consequences will rest with the user. Any damages to
the product or other things are not covered by the
warranty.
The measuring principle of the diagnostic
scale
This scale determines the body weight,
bodyfat, body water and the percentage of muscle
according to the principle of Bioelectric Impedance
Analysis (BIA). With this process, an imperceptible,
completely safe and harmless current enables the
determination of body tissue proportions within seconds.
This measurement of electrical resistance (impedance)
and the inclusion of constants and/or individual values
(age, height, sex, activity levels) can be used to
determine the percentage of fat, water and muscle in
the body. Muscle tissue and water have good electrical
conductivity, as the fat cells hardly conduct the current
due to their very high resistance.
