According to the World Health Organization (WHO 2001), the percentage of body water should lie within
the following ranges!
Women: 50–55%
Men: 60–65%
Children: 65–75%
In persons with a high percentage of body fat, the percentage of body water very frequently lies below
the specified guidelines.
As the percentage of muscle differs from individual to individual, there are no generally valid guidelines.

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.
Possible causes of errors:
– The maximum load-bearing capacity of 180 kg
(330 lbs) was exceeded.
– The electrical resistance between the electrodes
and the soles of your feed is too high (e.g. with
heavily callused skin).
– Your body fat lies outside the measurable range
(less than 5% or greater than 60%).
– Your percentage of water lies outside the mea-
surable range (less than 30% or greater than
90%)
