Getting Accurate Readings
To ensure accuracy, readings should be taken without clothing and under consistent conditions of hydration.
Always remove your socks or stockings, and be sure the soles of your feet are clean before stepping on the
measuring platform. Be sure that the arch of each foot is aligned with the center of the measuring platform.
Don’t worry if your feet appear too large for the unit, accurate readings can still be obtained if your toes
overhang the platform. It is best to take readings at the same time of day. Try to wait about two hours after
getting up, eating, or strenuous exercise before taking measurements. While readings taken under other
conditions may not have the same absolute values, they are accurate for determining the percentage change
as long as the readings are taken in a consistent manner. To monitor your progress, compare your weight and
body fat percentage readings taken under the same conditions over a period of time.
An accurate reading will not be possible if the soles of your feet are not clean, if your knees are bent or
if you are sitting down.
