Reason
Troubleshooting
Please take measurements on a floor with a
hard flat surface
Warm yourself up and wait until your blood
circulation has returned to normal before
taking measurements
Slightly moisten the soles of your feet with a
wet towel before taking measurements.
Replace the batteries

Allow the unit to warm up until the
electrodes no longer feel cold to the touch,
then take measurements
Do not touch, move or place anything on top of the main unit
before the display reads “0.0 kg” otherwise the measurements
may be incorrect.
A fully lit display means that the device is preparing to take
measurements. Moving or applying a load to the device before the
display reads “0.0 kg” may cause an error (“Err”) or ( “10. If
you think results are unlikely…”) , and sometimes measurement
cannot be taken correctly.
Measurements will not be
taken correctly if you are
wearing socks.

What is BMI?
When your ideal weight is BMI “22”,
This product calculates BMI from the “height” registered in your personal data and your
“weight” measurement.
BMI = Weight (kg) ÷ Height (m) ÷ Height (m)
Ideal body weight (kg) = 22 x Height (m) x Height (m)
What is body fat percentage?
Body fat percentage (%) = (body fat weight (kg) ÷
weight (kg)) x 100
This is the ratio of the weight of body fat to body weight.
What is visceral fat level?
This is calculated using an equation developed by Omron. Abdominal CT scan imaging was
used to determine to the amount of fat surrounding internal organs and the results
categorised into 30 levels.
The ideal BMI is said to be “22”. People within this range are less susceptible to illnesses
caused by obesity or thinness, and are likely to have long lives.
Your ideal weight, or in other words, your weight when your BMI is 22, can be determined
using the following formula.
Ex.) The ideal weight for someone who is 155cm tall: 22 × 1.55 × 1.55 = 52.855 →
approximately 52.9kg
However, since BMI is determined on the basis of height and weight, an appropriate
judgment cannot be made for athletes and other people whose heavy body weight is due to
muscularity.
Standards for judging body fat percentage differs between
men and women.
Though we tend to view body fat as a bad thing, fat actually stores energy, protects our
internal organs and performs several other important roles.
It is of course not good to have too much of it, but neither is it good to have too little.
Since men and women accumulate body fat differently, judgment standards also differ.
