SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND
STORAGE
1.1 Important safety instructions
Please read the following instructions carefully, as they contain
important information concerning the setting up, use and care
of your new Body Fat Monitor.
Keep this manual for future reference.
Do not disassemble the body fat monitor. Apart from the
batteries, it contains no user serviceable parts.
Do not subject the device to strong shocks.
Although there are no known side effects, the body fat monitor
must
NOT
be used under the following conditions:
• During an acute contagious disease;
• By persons with medical implants (e.g. pacemakers);
• By persons with any heart disease. Use the monitor after
consultation with your doctor;
• Never use it in combination with artificial heart-lung and
other electronic life support systems;
• Never use it in combination with an electrocardiograph and
other (portable) electronic medical devices.
Do not use the body fat monitor in a highly humid environ-
ment such as sauna or while you are in a bath or in a shower.
Never submerse in water.
Do not let unattended children or infirm persons have access
to the unit.
If you discover that the body fat monitor is damaged or does
not operate properly, switch it off immediately and stop using
it. An authorized dealer using only original OMRON spare
parts must carry out any repairs. Any part of the unit may only
be repaired or replaced by the Omron Service representative.
Please note that this device is only intended to measure the
body composition
1.2 Care and Storage
Clean the main unit with a soft dry cloth. If the main unit is
heavily stained, wipe it with a cloth lightly dampened with
water or detergent, then wipe it dry with a dry cloth.
Avoid an excessive amount of water, this can cause internal
damage.
Do not wipe the unit with benzene, paint thinner,
alcohol, or other volatile detergents.
1.3 Features of the product
Accurate measurement
The body fat percentage is measured based on the electric
resistance and the personal data such as height, weight, age
and gender. The measured results are closely correlated with
the “underwater weighing method” and the DEXA (Dual
Energy X-ray Absorbtiometry) method, which are said to be
the standard measurements methods for measuring the body
fat percentage.
Measurement is fast and simple
After setting the data, body fat mass can be measured by sim-
ply holding the grip electrodes and pushing the Start button.
The measured results are displayed approximately 7 seconds
after the Start screen is displayed.
Large and clear displays
The easy to read large digital and graphic displays can be
understood at a glance. The measured results based on body
fat percentage and on BMI calculations are displayed alternate-
ly, as well as their interpretations.
Memory
The memory can store the personal data (height, weight, age
and gender) of up to 9 people simultaneously.
