Performing a measurement
NOTICE!
For ideal, comparable measurement results,
follow the basic rules below when perform-
ing a measurement.
− Weigh yourself when undressed, on an empty stom-
ach and if possible, always at the same time of day.
The best time to weigh yourself is in the morning
after you have used the toilet.
− The body fat percentage can only be measured if you
are barefoot. Ideally, your feet should be damp, but
no cream should have been applied.
Completely dry or heavily callused foot soles are not
sufficiently conductive and may affect the accuracy of
results.
