embarking on such a progr am.
Why are the body fat per centage ranges f or men and women so dierent?
Women natur ally carry a higher per centage of fat than men, because the make-up of
the body is dierent being gear ed towards pregnanc y, breastfeeding etc.
What should I do if my water percentage r eading is ‘low’?
Ensure that you ar e regularl y taking sucient water and work towards moving y our
fat percentage into the heal thy range.
Why should I avoid using the Body Anal yser Scale whilst pregnan t?
During pregnancy a woman’s body composition changes consider ably in order to
support the developing child. Under these cir cumstances, body fat per centage
readings could be inaccur ate and misleading. Pregnant women should ther efore onl y
use the weight function.
ADVICE FOR USE AND CARE • Always weigh y ourself on the same scale placed on
the same floor surface. Do not compar e weight readings fr om one scale to another
as some dierences willexist due to manufacturing toler ances. • Placing your
scale on a hard, e ven floor will ensure the gr eatest accuracy and consistency . • It
is recommended that you measur e at the same time of the day , pr eferabl y early
evening before a meal f or the most consistent results. • Y our scale rounds up or
down to the nearest incr ement. If you weigh your self twice and get two dierent
readings, y our weight lies between the two. • Clean your scale with a damp cloth.
Do not use chemical cleaning agents. • Do not allow y our scale to become saturated
with water as this can damage the electronics. • T reat your scale with car e - it is a
precision instrument. Do not dr op it or jump on it.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE • You must ha ve bare feet when using body fat and
total body water measurements. • The condition of your skin on the bottom of your
feet can aect the reading. T o get the most accurate and consistent r eading, wipe
your feet with a damp cloth, leaving them slightly moist befor e stepping on the scale.
