Helpful Hints
Your Thinner
®
scale is a precise measuring instrument that is most accurate
when weighing a stationary object. To ensure the most accurate readings
always try to stand on the same area of the scale platform and
DO NOT MOVE
.
Should the weight on the scale exceed the scale’s capacity, you may see an
error message ”ERR”.
Electronic sensors are sensitive. Be careful not to drop or jar the scale. Place it
gently onto floor surface, and store where it will be protected from impact. The
scale is an electronic instrument and should never be submerged in water.
Clean with damp cloth only.
In the unlikely event that the scale battery malfunctions and needs to be
replaced, open the battery cover on the bottom of the scale and replace the
old battery with a new one. Properly dispose of the old battery.
Do not attempt to open the scale or to remove any components. Servicing
should be done by qualified technicians only. See warranty information

THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT
MANAGING YOUR WEIGHT
Diet, exercise, and determination all play a part in effective weight manage-
ment. Your scale is the tool that lets you chart your progress, and measure
your success, whether your goal is weight loss, weight gain, or maintaining
your current weight.
Because weight varies, as explained below, focus on the progression and
sustained long-term changes rather than on exact day-to-day readings. When
you’re dieting and exercising, small, fluctuating weight gains and losses
are common.
Common Causes of Weight Fluctuations (during the
day, and day- to-day)
• Water retention and weight gain from consumption of large meals
• Water retention from salt and carbohydrate intake
• Muscle buildup (muscle weighs more than fat) from strenuous
resistance training
• Weight loss caused by dehydration due to illness, low fluid intake
or strenuous exercise
• Temporary weight gains and losses from menstrual cycle
Weight Maintenance vs. Weight Loss/Gain
Get into the habit of weighing yourself no more than once a week when
you’re on a weight management program. Weighing in at consistent intervals
will give you the most accurate picture of your progress, eliminating many
short-term, unrelated weight changes.
