Remove the batteries if you are planning to store the device for a long period of time. We hope you
use your device for many years of course, but long periods of storage with the batteries in place
may damage the device and will cause the batteries to discharge.
Replace the set of batteries (3x AAA) in the right direction when the LCD words twinkling and
further show "LO".

the environment or human health if handled and there may be a risk of electrical
shock or burns. When disposing of this product, ensure that it is collected separately
for special treatment and not as normal household waste.
How does the
Bluetooth
®
Smart Scale work
This
Bluetooth
®
Smart Scale uses BIA (Bio-electrical Impedance Analysis) technology to calculate
body fat mass, lean mass, total body water and bone mass. The general principle behind: two or
more conductors (electrode or ITO film) on the scale contact person's body and a small electric
current is sent through the body. The resistance between the conductors will provide a measure of
body fat.
NOTE: This device is a personal monitor and should be used in a consistent manner for the most
accurate reading. While readings of this analyzer might be different with that of others (hydro-
densitometry or hand held calipers), your changes in body fat percentage shown by this device will
be reflected accurately.
While this analyzer will work accurately as a scale for anyone and give accurate body fat readings
for a majority of people, it is not intended for being used by pregnant women or children under the
age of 18.
The best time to measure your body composition
Our water content can vary at different times during the day and since body fat percentage is
calculated by measuring the water content, our body fat reading can also vary throughout the
day. There is no right or wrong time of the day to take a reading, but we find it most consistent to
measure our body weight and water content first thing in the morning before eating or drinking and
after using the toilet. It is about making the measurement consistent.
Taking measurement after having a bath or sauna, or following intensive exercise, or within 1-2
hours of drinking in quantity or eating a meal is going to distort the values generated.
Never attempt to take readings when you are wet, after a shower or vigorous exercise.
Make sure that the scale is placed on a level, hard surface.
DO NOT attempt to use the scale on a carpeted surface—erroneous values will be generated.
