MEASURING BODY WEIGHT & BODY COMPOSITION
1. To use the scale, stand still on the center of the platform with clean and dry bare
feet touching each of the metal foot placers. After a few seconds the scale will dis-
play your weight.
2. Next, the scale will automatically select your user profile and calculate your body
composition while an “o” scrolls across the display.
3. Finally, the scale will display your current body composition measurements. You
may now step off the scale. The scale will cycle through your weight, body fat, body
water, muscle mass and bone density measurements three times before turning
off.
Note:
The scale will automatically select your user profile to calculate your body com-
position by comparing your current body weight measurement to previous body weight
measurements from each user profile. If your current body weight changes by more
than 7 pounds from your previous measurement, or if your body weight is within 7
pounds of another user profile, then you will need to manually select your user profile
number with the corresponding
LEFT
or
RIGHT
arrow buttons before the scale will dis-
play your current body composition.
HOW DOES THE SCALE MEASURE BODY COMPOSITION?
This scale uses Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) technology to measure body
composition. BIA technology sends an unperceivable electronic signal through your
body to calculate your body fat, body water and muscle mass percentages. Do not use
this scale if you have a pacemaker or other internal electronic medical device.
HOW DO I GET THE MOST ACCURATE RESULTS?
Hydration levels fluctuate throughout the day and are affected by eating, drinking and
exercise. As a result, for maximum accuracy and repeatability, it is recommended that
this scale is used at the same time of day under the same conditions to establish a per-
sonal average. These readings are a close indication, and not an exact value. Please
consult your doctor for more information.
MEASUREMENTS DURING WEIGHT LOSS
During weight loss, body fat percentages may not change as expected since the read-
ing is a percentage of body fat compared to body weight, and both could be changing at
the same time. To minimize the loss of lean body tissue, be sure to include exercise in
your weight loss plan.
