If you get an error reading, make sure you are stepping on the scale in bare feet
(no stockings or pantyhose) and your feet are aligned on the metal strips. If you
still get an error reading, your skin may be too dry: try rubbing a bit of lotion on
the soles of your feet and make sure not to slip on the platform of the scale.

instructions).
Note:
If you step on the scale before “0.0” appears or if your feet are not
aligned on the electrodes, the scale will not function properly.
Weight and Body Fat
What is body fat percentage?
Body fat percentage is the weight of body fat divided by total body weight
and multiplied by 100 – for example: 36kg fat / 90kg total body weight x 100
= 40% body fat.
How does the scale calculate body fat percentage?
Body fat is calculated using a method called Bioelectrical Impedance
Analysis (BIA). A very weak electric current is passed through the body to
measure the impedance (resistance) to lean body mass and fat mass.
This current passes more quickly through lean body mass (due to its water
