MERCURY SL Thank you for purchasing the American Weigh MERCURY SL digital body fat scale. Please read all operating instructions carefully before use. Scales are precision measuring devices and should always be handled with proper care. To ensure years of reliable service, keep these simple tips in mind: Weighing Tips • Do not weigh on carpet. Hard floors provide the best weighing surface. Slanted or uneven surfaces should also be avoided.
Special Note on Body Fat Scales This scale uses bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) to calculate body fat %. This technology works by measuring the resistance (impedance) of small electrical currents through the body. When the user’s height and body impedance are known, the scale can accurately determine total body water (TBW) and fat-free mass (FFM). Fat-free mass is then subtracted from your total body weight to obtain your body fat mass. This scale should be used while barefoot.
