same, then you could have built up valuable muscle mass.
If your weight and body fat percentage fall simultaneously then your diet is working – you are losing
fat mass. Ideally you should support your diet with physical activity, fitness or power training. By this
means, you can increase your muscle percentage over the medium term.

Activate the scale correctly and repeat the
measurement.
The maximum capacity of 150 kg has been
exceeded.

The electrical resistance between the elec-
trodes and the soles of the feet is too high (e.g.
in the case of thick calluses).
Repeat the measurement barefoot.
If necessary, moisten the soles of your feet
slightly. If necessary, remove the calluses from
the soles of your feet.
You are standing unsteadily on the scale. Keep still while standing on the scale.
The fat percentage is outside the measurable
range (less than 5% or greater than 50%).
Repeat the measurement barefoot or, if neces-
sary, moisten the soles of your feet slightly.
The water percentage is outside the measura-
ble range (less than 36% or greater than 70%).
Repeat the measurement barefoot or, if neces-
sary, moisten the soles of your feet slightly.
The muscle and bone percentages are outside
the measurable range (age and gender related).
Repeat the measurement barefoot or, if neces-
sary, moisten the soles of your feet slightly.
