Safety Precautions
Note that people with an electronic medical implant, such as a pacemaker, should not use a Body Composition Monitor as it passes a
low-level electrical signal through the body, which may interfere with its operation.
Pregnant women should use the weight function only. All other functions are not intended for pregnant women.
Do not place this Body Composition Monitor on slippery surfaces such as a wet floor.
Please do not use Body Composition Monitor immediately after bathing or strenuous exercise. The scale platform will be slippery
when wet. In addition, droplets of water or sweat may activate the switches on the display. Please wipe platform with a clean, dry cloth
to remove any liquids.
Important Notes for Users

Note:
Body fat percentage estimates will vary with the amount of water in the body, and can be affected by dehydration or over-
hydration due to such factors as alcohol consumption, menstruation, illness, intense exercise, etc.
INTRODUCTION
To ensure accuracy, readings should be taken without clothing and
under consistent 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 onto the measuring platform.
Be sure 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 exercising 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.
Note:
An accurate reading will not be possible if the soles
of your feet are not clean, or if your knees are bent
or you are in a sitting position.
