This Salter Scale uses BIA (Bio Impedance Analysis) technology which passes a tiny electrical impulse

through the body to determine fat from lean tissue,the electrical impulse cannot be felt and is perfectly

safe.Contact with the body is made via stainless steel pads on the platform of the scale.

This method simultaneously calculates your personal weight,body fat,total body water,bone mass and

muscle mass,giving you a more accurate reading of your overall health and fitness.

This scale stores the personal data of up to 10 users.As well as being an analyser scale,this scale can

be used as a conventional scale.

HOW DOES THIS SALTER SCALE WORK?

The human body is made up of,amongst other things,a percentage of fat.This is vital for a healthy,

functioning body - it cushions joints and protects vital organs,helps regulate body temperature,stores

vitamins and helps the body sustain itself when food is scarce.However,too much body fat or indeed

too little body fat can be damaging to your health.It is difficult to gauge how much body fat we have in

our bodies simply by looking at ourselves in the mirror.

This is why it is important to measure and monitor your body fat percentage.Body fat percentage

gives you a better measure of fitness than weight alone – the composition of your weight loss could

mean you are losing muscle mass rather than fat - you could still have a high percentage of fat even

when a scale indicates ‘normal weight’.

BODY FAT - WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

Body water is the single most important component of body weight.It represents over half of your

total weight and almost two thirds of your lean body mass (predominantly muscle).

Water performs a number of important roles in the body:

All the cells in the body,whether in the skin,glands,muscles,brain or anywhere else,can only function

properly if they have enough water.Water also plays a vital part in regulating the body’s temperature

balance,particularly through perspiration.

The combination of your weight and fat measurement could appear to be ‘normal’ but your body

hydration level could be insufficient for healthy living.

BODY WATER - WHY MEASURE IT?

For those using Athlete Mode: Note that athletes may have a lower body fat range and a higher

body water range than shown below,depending on their type of sport or activity.

NORMAL HEALTHY RANGE OF BODY FAT & TOTAL BODY WATER PERCENTAGE

Fig. 2

According to the American College of Sports Medicine(ASCM),lean muscle mass may decrease by

nearly 50 percent between the ages of 20 and 90.If you don’t do anything to replace that loss you’re

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.

Some advantages of gaining muscle mass include:

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

• Maintenance of flexible joints

• Guide weight reduction when combined with a healthy diet.

WHY SHOULD I KNOW MY MUSCLE MASS?

Body water measurement results are influenced by the proportion of body fat and muscle.If the

proportion of body fat is high,or the proportion of muscle is low then the body water results will

tend to be low.

It is important to remember that measurements such as body weight,body fat and body water are

tools for you to use as part of your healthy lifestyle.As short term fluctuations are normal,we

suggest you chart your progress over time,rather than focus on a single days reading.

This product is for domestic use only.

Professional medical guidance should always be sought before embarking on diet and

exercise programmes.

This Salter Scale is calibrated f

or adult use (age 16+ years).

PREGNANT WOMEN SHOULD ONLY USE THE WEIGHT FUNCTION.

UTION: Do not use this product if you have a pacemaker or other medical device

fitted. If in doubt, consult your doctor.

Regular exercise and a balanced diet can help maintain healthy bones.Like muscle,bone is a living

tissue that can respond to ex

ercise by becoming stronger.For most people,bone mass peaks during

their thirties.After that time,we can begin to lose bone.Regular exercise can help prevent that loss.

BONE MASS - WHY MEASURE IT?

Calcium and vitamin D contribute to healthy bones.Good sources of these are dairy products,green

leafy vegetables and fish.

The bone mass readings given by this product are an estimation of the amount of bone in your body.

Those with osteoporosis or low bone densities may not get accurate estimations.If you have

concerns regarding your bones you should always consult your doctor.
