Instructions for Body Fat Estimation:

1.Make sure you have programmed your personal data.
2. Place the scale on a flat, level surface. A hard surface is best for

maximum accuracy. Placing the scale on a very soft, deep pile rug
may affect weighing accuracy.

3. Gently press your personal user # (1 or 2 on left and right side of

display) with your toe–make sure you have properly programmed
this earlier. Your personal profile will appear on the screen.

4. Wait until "000.0" appears on the display.
5. Stand on the scale (bare feet only!) so the balls of your feet are on

the upper silver pads, heels are on the lower silver pads. (Fig. 1)

NOTE:

For accurate fat estimates, always measure in bare feet.
