Positioning the Monitor
Place the measuring platform on a hard, flat surface where there is minimal
vibration to ensure safe and accurate measurement.
Note:
To avoid possible injury, do not step on the edge of the platform.
Handling Tips
This monitor is a precision instrument utilizing state-of-the-art technology.
To keep the unit in the best condition, follow these instructions carefully:
Do not attempt to disassemble the measuring platform.
Store the unit horizontally, and place it so that the buttons will not be pressed accidentally.
Avoid excessive impact or vibration to the unit.
Place the unit in an area free from direct sunlight, heating equipment,
high humidity, or extreme temperature change.
Never submerge in water. Use alcohol to clean the electrodes and glass cleaner (applied to a cloth first) to keep
them shiny; avoid soaps.
Do not step on the platform when wet.
Do not drop any objects onto the platform.
GETTING ACCURATE READINGS
To ensure accuracy, readings should be taken without clothing and under consis-
tent conditions of hydration. If you do not undress, always remove your socks or
stockings,and be sure the soles of your feet are clean before stepping on the meas-
uring platform.
Be sure that your heels are correctly aligned with the electrodes on 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 three
hours after rising, eating, or hard exercise before taking measurements.
While readings taken under other conditions may not have the same
absolute values, they are accurate for determining the percentage of change
as long as the readings are taken in a consistent manner. To monitor
progress, compare weight and body fat percentage taken under the same
conditions over a period of time.
AUTOMATIC SHUT-DOWN FUNCTION
The automatic shut-down function shuts off the power automatically in the following cases:
If you interrupt the measurement process. The power will shut down automatically within 10 to 20 seconds,
depending upon the type of operation.
If an extreme weight is applied to the platform.
During programming, if you do not touch any of the keys or buttons within 60 seconds.*
After you have completed the measuring process.
*Note:
If the power shuts off automatically, repeat the steps from “Setting and Storing Personal Data in Memory” (p.3).
SWITCHING THE WEIGHT MODE
You can change the unit indication by using the switch on the back of the scale as shown in the figure.
Note:
If weight mode is set to pounds or stone-pounds, the height programming mode will be automatically set to feet and inches.
Similarly, if kilograms is selected, height will be automatically set to centimeters.
