Keep away from water.
Doing so may damage the monitor or cause it to malfunction.
Do not use or store this monitor in the following locations.
·Locations that are exposed to direct sunlight, near to heaters, or exposed directly to air from air conditioning units, etc.
·Locations where there are severe temperature changes or a large amount of vibration.
·Locations with high levels of humidity or moisture.
Do not use boiling water, benzene, thinner, etc. to clean the monitor.
If the monitor becomes dirty, soak a soft cloth in water or neutral household detergent, wring it out thoroughly and wipe the monitor clean, then
use a dry cloth to wipe the monitor dry.
Another person should assist persons with disabilities who may not be able to take a measurement alone.
Be sure to insert the batteries with the polarities (+, -) in the correct position.
If the batteries are incorrectly inserted, battery fluid may leak and damage the floor. (If you do not intend to use this monitor for a long period of
time, it is advisable to remove the batteries before storage.)
Do not step on the monitor when your body is wet (immediately after a shower or bath, etc.)
Be sure to thoroughly dry your body and feet before using the monitor. Failure to do so may cause you to slip or fall, resulting in injury. Also, the
monitor cannot take accurate measurements if your body or feet are wet.
Place the monitor on a hard, flat surface where there is minimal vibration to ensure safe and
accurate measurement.
Do not use the monitor near other products such as microwave ovens that emit electromagnetic waves.
Doing so may cause the monitor to malfunction, preventing accurate measurements.
Avoid excessive impact or vibration to the monitor.
Doing so may damage the monitor or cause it to malfunction,or may cause setting to be erased.
Always…
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.
Note:
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.
