GETTING ACCURATE READINGS
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 on the measuring 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.

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.
TAKING WEIGHT AND BODY FAT READINGS
After programming your personal data you are ready to take a reading.
1. Tap the ON/OFF Key
The unit will beep and the display will show “0.0”. Now step onto the platform.
Note : If you step onto the platform before “0.0” appears the display will show
“Error” and you will not obtain a reading. Furthermore, if you do not step onto
the measuring platform within about 30 seconds after “0.0” appears, the power is
shut-off automatically.
2. Get Your Readings
Your weight will be shown first. Continue to stand on the platform.
“00000” will appear on the display and disappear one by one from left to right.
The readings will be shown alternately 5 times as follows:
Personal data Weight Body fat percentage
Note: Do not step off until “00000” disappears.

: Even if you step off the platform after all the result are displayed, the alternating display of Body Weight and Body Fat
Percentage will be repeated 5 times. The unit will then shut down automatically.
