NORMAL HEALTHY RANGE OF BODY FAT & TOTAL BODY WATER PERCENTAGE
For those using Athlete Mode: note that athletes may have a lower body fat range and a higher
body water range than shown above, depending on their type of sport or activity.
Body water measurement results are influenced by the proportion of body fat and muscle. If the
proportion of body fat is high, or the proportion of muscle is low then the body water results will
tend to be low.
It is important to remember that measurements such as body weight, body fat and body water are
tools for you to use as part of your healthy lifestyle. As short term fluctuations are normal, we
suggest you chart your progress over time, rather than focus on a single days reading.
This product is for domestic use only. Pregnant women should only use the weight function.
Professional medical guidance should always be sought before embarking on diet and
exercise programmes.
CAUTION: Do not use this product if you have a pacemaker or other medical device fitted.
If in doubt, consult your doctor.
