Initial Use

Inserting the Batteries

Remove the batteries from the protective packaging and insert them into the scale (rear of the scale), ensuring that the battery polarity is correct. If the scale does not function, remove the batteries completely and reinsert them.

Changing the Weight Unit

When supplied to the customer, the scale is set to weigh in “kg”. Switch on the scale by briefly applying pressure to the standing surface with your foot (approx. 1–2 seconds). Wait until “kg” appears on the display. On the rear of the scale, there is a button that allows you to select “pounds” or “stones” (lb, st).

Positioning the Scale

Place the scale on an even, hard surface; a hard surface is crucial for achieving accurate measurements.

Entering User Data

To calculate your body fat percentage and additional body values, you must save your personal user data. The scale has 10 user memory spaces, which allow you and members of your family to save and access personal settings, for example.

• Place the scale on an even, hard surface; a hard surface is crucial for achieving accurate measurements.
• Switch on the scale by briefly applying pressure to the standing surface with your foot (approx. 1–2 seconds). Wait until “kg” appears on the display.
• Start configuring the settings by pressing the button. The first memory space flashes on the display.
• Press the ▲/▼ button to select the desired memory space and confirm by pressing the button.
• You can now implement the following settings:

Activity Levels

The medium-term and long-term perspective is decisive when selecting the activity level.

• Changing the values: Press either the ▲ or ▼ button, or press and hold to quickly scroll through the options.
• Confirming the entries: Press the button.
• Once the values have been set, “kg” appears on the display.
• Now stand on the scale with bare feet while “kg” is displayed.
• Following the weight measurement, BMI, body fat (BF), water, muscle percentage, bone mass, BMR and AMR are displayed.

Note: Your measured weight has now been assigned to your selected user and saved. This is necessary for automatic user detection.

Usage

Taking Measurements

Place the scale on an even, hard surface; a hard surface is crucial for achieving accurate measurements.

Measuring Weight, Carrying Out Diagnostics

Step onto the scale with bare feet and ensure that you are standing still with equal weight distribution and with both feet on the electrodes.

Note: The measurement result will be incorrect if the measurement is taken with socks on. The scale begins to take measurements straight away. First, the weight is displayed. If a user has been assigned, the BMI, body fat, water, muscle, bone, BMR and AMR are shown.

The following appear:

1. Weight in kg
2. BIA measurement and columns for interpreting the results
3. User memory space (e.g. “U1”)
4. BMI
5. Body fat in % (BF)
6. Body water in %
7. Muscle percentage in %
8. Bone mass in kg
9. Basal metabolic rate in kcal (BMR)
10. Active metabolic rate in kcal (AMR)

Only Measuring Weight

Step onto the scale wearing shoes. Stand still with your weight distributed equally on both feet. The scale begins to take measurements straight away.

Switching Off the Scale

The scale switches itself off automatically.

Evaluating the Results

For a simpler and easier-to-understand classification, your values are interpreted directly on the display.

Body Fat Percentage

The following body fat percentages serve as a guideline (for further information, please consult your doctor). Values will often be lower for fitness enthusiasts. Depending on the sporting activities performed, the training intensity and the physical constitution, the results may still be below the stated standard values. Please note, however, that there may be a risk to health in the case of extremely low values.

Body water content
The body water content in % is normally within the following ranges:

Other Functions

User Assignment

It is possible to assign up to 10 scale users for a diagnostic measurement (barefoot).

For a new measurement, the scale assigns the measurement to the user whose most recently saved measurement falls within ±3 kg. If two or more users have potentially been recognised, the display switches between them. Select your user by pressing the ▲/▼ button.

Deleting Scale Data

If you would like to completely delete all measurements and old user data on the scale, switch on the scale and press the UNIT button on the rear of the scale for approximately 6 seconds.

“CLr” will appear on the display for several seconds.

This is necessary if you would like to delete scale users who have been set up incorrectly or are no longer required, for example.

Replacing the Batteries

Your scale is equipped with a low battery indicator. If you operate the scale with flat batteries, “Lo” will appear on the display and the scale will automatically switch off. In this case, the batteries must be replaced (3 × 1.5 V AAA).

NOTE:

• When replacing the batteries, use batteries of the same type, make and capacity.
• Do not use rechargeable batteries.
• Use batteries free from heavy metals.

Cleaning and Maintenance

The device should be cleaned from time to time. This should be done using a damp cloth and, if necessary, a small amount of detergent.

IMPORTANT

• Never use abrasive solvents or cleaning products!
• Never submerge the device in water!
• Do not clean the device in a dishwasher!

Troubleshooting Guide for Beurer Diagnostic Bathroom Scale BF 400 / 410 Signature Line

Common issues with the Beurer Diagnostic Bathroom Scale BF 400 / 410 Signature Line include inaccurate readings, error codes, or failure to activate. For unstable measurements, ensure placement on a hard, even surface—soft carpets cause errors. Clean electrodes with a damp cloth if BIA readings (body fat, water, muscle) are off, as dirt affects conductivity.

Error codes: Overload indicator flashes if exceeding 200 kg—remove weight immediately. Low battery symbol appears when power is low; replace with 3x AAA 1.5V batteries. If no display, check battery orientation or reset by removing batteries for 1 minute. "Err" during BIA may indicate wet feet or clothing—measure barefoot and dry. Automatic switch-off occurs after inactivity; step on firmly for auto-on.

Preventive measures: Avoid extremes in temperature/humidity, store flat, and calibrate yearly on hard floors. Beurer offers a 3-5 year warranty (check manual); contact Beurer GmbH, Söflinger Straße 218, 89077 Ulm, Germany, or visit beurer.com/support for service. Customer service handles repairs—include proof of purchase.
