TO WEIGH AND MEASURE
1. To begin use, simply stand directly onto the scale platform with clean, dry,
and bare feet. After a few seconds, your weight will be shown. (New users
will need to select an open user by pressing
SET
twice,
and go through the set-up process. After the new users
weight has been captured, the scale will automatically
detect the dedicated user for the next weigh-in.)
2. The scale will then begin body analysis, and display a
moving “o”.
3. When measurement is completed, the scale will then display the current
weight, body fat, body water, bone, muscle mass measurements, and
BMR value.
4. The scale will turn off automatically if there is no further operation.
TO MEASURE WEIGHT ONLY
1. Simply step onto the platform of the scale.
2. Your weight value is then shown on the display.
3. The scale turns off automatically if there is no further operation.
HOW DOES THE SCALE WORK?
The scale uses BIA (Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis) to measure the body fat,
body water, bone, and muscle mass. In this technique, a safe, low-level electri-
cal signal is passed through the body. The scale measures the speed of the cur-
rent which is affected by water, muscle, bone, and fat. Using this data, the scale
estimates the percentage of body fat, body water, bone, and muscle mass.
UNDERSTANDING THE MEASUREMENTS
Body weight, and hydration levels fluctuate throughout the day and are affected
by exercise, eating, and drinking. This can affect body composition measure-
ments. As a result, for maximum accuracy and repeatability it is recommended
that you measure yourself about the same time of day under the same condi-
tions to establish a personal average and track change.
