5.2 How to Obtain Reliable Results

To help ensure reliable results, please observe the following points when taking a

measurement.
• Stand upright on the measurement platform with your weight evenly distributed over

the electrodes. Do not stand on or near the edge of the platform.

• Try to take measurements at the same time each day.
• Avoid eating, drinking (especially alcohol), sport/exercise or taking a bath/sauna before

measuring.

• When a stable measurement value cannot be displayed, slightly moisten the soles of

your feet with a damp towel and try again.
