HOW DOES THIS SALTER SCALE WORK?
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
and BMI giving you a more accurate reading of your overall health and fitness.
This scale stores the personal data of up to 8 users. As well as being an analyser scale,
this scale can be used as a conventional scale.
NEW FEATURE!
This scale features our convenient step-on operation. Once initialised the scale can be
operated by simply stepping straight on the platform – no more waiting!

BODY FAT -WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
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 dicult 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 WATER -WHY MEASURE IT?
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
