Interpreting the results
Kg FAT: Kilograms of FAT, the actual weight of fat on your body. There are approximately 3500
calories stored in each kilogram of body fat.
Kg LEAN: The kilograms of lean in your body, mostly muscle and vital organs represent the amount
of your weight that is not fat.
Lt. of water: A measure of the litres of water in your body can be very helpful in explaining rapid
weight loss or gain. A litre of water weights about one kilogram. Most of the body’s fluid is contained
in the lean body mass, which normally consist of 70-75% water.
% FAT: The percent of fat weight in total body weight.
% LEAN: The percent of lean weight in total body weight.
BMR: Basal metabolic rate refers to the number of calories your body uses each day just to “stay
alive”-breathing, pumping blood, thinking, and so on. It doesn’t include calories you burn by exercising.
Your basal metabolic rate is directly related to the amount of lean tissue in your bosy. The more lean
tissue you have, the higher you metabolic rate-in other words, the more calories you will “use up” just
by being alive.
TARGET WEIGHT: Target weight is simply a weight goal to aim for under optimal conditions. It is
based on the assumption that all the weight you lose will be fat and that lean tissue will be neither lost
nor gained. Under an ideal condition, all weight loss would be fat and a small amount of lean would be
increased. This is why your target weight may change slightly as you alter your diet and exercise plan.
Whit a healthy lifestyle, eventually your actual weight and target weight should match.
TARGET % FAT: Target percent fat is a valuewhich represents a “normal” percent for your sex and
age. It does not necessarily represent the “best” percent fat for you. For example, very fit individuals
often fall well below these target values. The importance of the target percent fat it is a worthy goal for
those who tend to be overfat and is generally considered healthy. This value can be seen in the display
only when “Program”, “Target Weight” is entered.

TROUBLESHOOTING
1. No Display:
If you turn on B you BT-905 and there is no display in the window, you should:
a. Check battery chargement.
If the above attempt fail, return the machine to the dealer.
2. “Invalid Data-See Manual”:
This message in the display window results from one of several possibilities:
a. The most likely cause is failure to follow protocol closely enough. Carefully re-read the sections
in your manual entitled “Getting Yourself Ready for Testing” and “Operate Guide” Then retest.
b. Recheck your exact scale weight and your haeight; then reperform the test. This is absolutely
necessary for thin individuals in particular. Weight fluctuates from day to day enough to produce
invalid data if not entered correctly.
c. A very small percent of the extremely thin and tall population may not be possible to measure
using bioresistance methods. This would be a very rare situation, and the Invalid Data message
is probably due to improper testing protocol rather than to being immesurably lean. Be sure to
follow protocol.
