6.  Muscle Mass- Why should I know it?

According to the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), lean muscle 

mass may decrease by nearly 50 percent between the age of 20 and 90. If 

you do nothing about this, you are losing muscle and increasing fat. It is also 

important to know your muscle mass % during weight reduction. At rest, the 

body burns approximately 110 additional calories for each kilo of muscle 

gained. Benefits of gaining muscle mass include:

• Reversing the decline in strength, bone density and muscle mass that 

happens with aging

• Maintenance of flexible joints

• Guide weight reduction when combined with a healthy diet.

4.  When should I use the scale’s body fat and total body water functions?

For maximum accuracy and repeatability, it is recommended that the scale’s 

body fat and total body water functions be used at approximately the same 

time of the day, e.g. before breakfast in the morning. It is also a good practice 

to avoid swings in hydration level of the body prior to the estimation. Establishing 

your own baseline value of %BF and %TBW and tracking their changes is better 

than merely comparing your %BF and %TBW value to the population’s “normal” 

value.

The estimates provided are not substitutes for physician assessments. Consult 

your physician to determine what body fat percentage, total body water 

percentage, body mass index and daily calorie intake are most ideal for you.
5. What is the Cal-Max™?

The Cal-Max function estimates the number of calories required based on 

your body composition and user entered personal data. This tool can be used 

as a guide when setting daily calorie goals during weight loss and exercise 

programs. 

      CAUTION:

• BIA (Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis) method estimates your body fat 

percentage by sending a harmless signal through the body.

• This device should not be used by anyone with an internal electronic medical 

device, such as a pacemaker, as a precaution against disruption to that device.

• If in doubt, contact your physician.

• This scale will give body fat estimates for a majority of people, but is not intended 

for use by the following groups:

Children: 

Anyone under the age of 18 years

Pregnant Women

• Interference may occur in the vicinity of equipment marked with the following 

symbol “     ”. Also, the scale may interfere with electrical equipment within its 

vicinity.

• To enable the data transmission function, this scale should be paired to a 

Bluetooth® end at 2.4 GHz.

How to mitigate possible interference?

1.

 The distance between the scale and the Bluetooth should be reasonably 

close, between 3 to 30 feet. Please ensure there are no obstacles between 

the scale and the Bluetooth end so as to obtain a quality connection.

2. 

To avoid interference, other electronics devices (particularly those with 

Bluetooth® transmission/transmitter should be kept at least 3 feet away from 

the scale.
