Congratulation on purchasing this VMC Body Fat / Hydration Monitor Scale.
This is more than a scale but also a health-monitoring device which help in assessing
your health by monitoring your body fat and water content.
Thanks to its user- friendly programming features, it can store personal
information for up to six different people and it is so easy to use. Simply step on the
scale and read your weight, body fat and water content composition figures.
Determining the body fat composition
The VMC Body Fat / Hydration Monitor Scale implement the advanced
technology called Bioelectric Impedance Analysis (BIA).
A bioelectric current is emitted from the footpads of scale and passed through
the feet and into the body. The current travels at different speeds depending on
whether it is traveling through lean mass or body fat. The harder the current works,
the higher the “impedance value” that it produces. The scale’s microprocessor
analyzes the impedance, or speed of the current as it travels through the body, which
in turn determines how much fat is in the body. Since everyone is unique, the scale
also asks you to enter your height; age and gender, which are used along with your
weight, to calculate the composition of fats in your body. To put it simply, the scale
plugs the impedance value into an equation along with your sex, age, height and
