WARNINGS

This product has been engineered and manufactured to the highest safety standards. The
product is designed to provide you with many years of reliable service, provided that it is
properly used and cared for. To ensure your safety and prolong the life of the product, please
observe the following precautions.

ABOUT THE DEVICE

WARNING: It is not recommended for persons with implanted medical equipment such

as pacemakers or pregnant women to use the Monitor.

• The Monitor is intended for home use only, not for hospital diagnosis purposes.

• The BMI and Body Fat Index measurements done with the Monitor should only be treated

as an approximate indication of your health level. Consult with your physician for a full and
thorough evaluation.

• Body Fat Index and Body Mass Index measurements are less accurate for professional

athletes, bodybuilders, children, teenagers, and persons over the age of 65 due to the
difference in their body compositions. However, this device can still help individuals in the
groups above to track their body fat trends over time.

GENERAL WARNINGS

• Read and observe all warnings and instructions – This user manual contains important

warnings and instructions that, if properly followed, will help to ensure you use the product
safely. Use the manual as you set up and begin to use the Body Weight Monitor, then keep
it in a safe place for future reference. Note that the contents of this user manual are subject
to change without further notice. Figures and display examples are for reference only, and
may slightly differ from the actual product.

• Batteries – Reversing the battery polarity may damage the product. Different types of

batteries have different characteristics and should not be mixed. Do not pair old and new
batteries together – this can shorten the life of new batteries and cause old batteries to leak
harmful chemicals that can corrode the battery compartment and cause a rash on your skin.
If the batteries leak, wipe the battery compartment with a clean cloth and wash your hands
