SANITAS SBF 48 (01) PDF Document

The following safety notes should be observed when using the SANITAS SBF 48:

• The scales must not be used by persons with medical implants (e.g. heart pacemakers). Otherwise their function could be impaired.

• Do not use during pregnancy.

• 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!

• Batteries are highly dangerous if swallowed. Keep batteries and scale out of reach of small children. If batteries are swallowed, get medical help immediately.

• Keep children away from packing materials (danger of suffocation).

• Batteries must not be charged or reactivated by other means, taken apart, thrown into a fire or short-circuited.

• Not intended for medical or commercial use.

• Please note that measuring tolerances are possible due to technical reasons because the scale has not been calibrated.

• Ages 10 … 100 years and height settings from 100 … 220 cm (3-03”–7-03”) can be preset.

• Load capacity: max. 180 kg (396 lb, 28 st.). Result in steps of 100g (0.2 lb, 0.01st). Measurements of body fat, body water and muscle density in steps of 0.1%.

• Place the scale on a firm level floor; a firm floor covering is required for correct measurement.

• The scale should be cleaned occasionally with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive detergents and never immerse the scale in water.

• Protect the scale against hard knocks, moisture, dust, chemicals, major temperature fluctuations and heat sources which are too close (stove, heating radiators).

If present, pull the battery insulating strip off the battery compartment cover or remove the battery’s protective film and insert the battery according to the polarity. If the scale fails to operate, remove the battery completely and insert it again.

Your scale is equipped with a “replace battery” indicator. When the scale is operated with a battery which is too weak, “LO” appears in the display field and the scale automatically switches off. In this case the battery must be replaced (1 x 3V lithium battery CR2032).

Insert the batteries and press the “SET” button for 3 seconds. Use the “Up” and “Down” arrow buttons to select the values and confirm each with “SET”.

Press the “SET” button. Use the “Up” and “Down” arrow buttons to select the values and confirm each with “SET”.

Step briefly and forcefully on the weighing area of your scale.

The entire display is shown until “0.0” is displayed.

Stand on the scale without moving about and distribute your weight evenly on both legs. The scale immediately begins to measure your weight. Your measured weight is displayed shortly after this.

The scale switches off a few seconds after you step down from it.

First your personal parameters must be stored.

Step briefly on the weighing area of your scale.

Select the memory preset where your basic personal data are stored by pressing the “Up” or “Down” button repeatedly. The data are displayed consecutively until “0.0” appears.

Step onto the scale barefoot and make sure you’re standing on both electrodes. First your body weight is determined and displayed.

Remain on the scale and avoid moving; your body fat is being analysed. This may take a few seconds.

When the unit is switched off, the measurements from an analysis are automatically saved. If the 60 memory locations for a user are full, “Full” appears on the display.

After the measurement is complete and the display reads “0.0”:

• Press the “Left/Down” button. The memory symbol “M” appears with the most recently stored measurement. The results for body fat, body water, muscle percentage and weight are displayed in succession.

• Press the “Left/Down” button again. The second most recently saved measurement appears.

• Press the “Left/Down” button again. The memory symbol goes out and “0.0” appears in the display.

To delete the measured value shown, press the “SET” button, and confirm and delete “dEL?” by pressing the “SET” button again.

To clear the memory: After switching on, press and hold the “Left/Down”, “Right/Up” and “SET” buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds until “CLr” appears. Confirm “YES” and delete by pressing the “SET” button.

Important when measuring body fat/body water/muscle percentage:

• The measurement may only be carried out while barefoot and it is helpful if the soles of your feet are slightly damp. Completely dry soles can result in unsatisfactory results, as they have insufficient conductivity.

• Your feet, legs, calves and thighs must not touch each other, as otherwise the measurement cannot be performed correctly.

• Stand still during the measurement.

• Wait several hours (6-8) after unusually strenuous activity.

• Wait approx. 15 minutes after getting out of bed so that the water in your body can be distributed.

The following body fat percentages are guide values:

Man

Woman

The body water percentage is normally within the following ranges:

Man

Woman

The muscle percentage % is normally within the following ranges:

Man

Woman

System requirements: Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows Vista, Windows XP SP3.

Installation process:

• Download and install the Healthcoach software. Follow the instructions for software installation.

Transfer data:

• Establish USB connection.

• Select data transfer in the software.

If the scale detects an error during weighing, “FFFF” or “Err” appears in the display. If you step onto the scale before “0.0” appears in the display, the scale will not operate properly.

Standard and rechargeable batteries should not be disposed of separately from the household waste. As a consumer, you are legally obliged to return used batteries for proper disposal. You can hand in your used batteries at public collection points in your district or sales outlets where batteries of this type are sold.
