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.

Automatic shut-down function

The automatic shut-down function shuts off the power automatically in the following cases:

• If you interrupt the measurement process, the power will shut down automatically within 10 to 20 seconds, depending upon the

type of operation.

• If an extreme weight is applied to the platform.

• During programming, if you do not touch any of the keys or buttons within 60 seconds.*

• After you have completed the measuring process.

Note:

If the power shuts off automatically, repeat the steps from “Setting and storing personal data in memory” (p.4).

You can switch the unit indication by using the switch on the back of the scale as

shown in the figure.

The unit should be turned on to switch the weight mode.

Note: If weight mode is set to pounds or stone-pounds, the height programming mode

will be automatically set to feet and inches.

Similarly, if kilograms is selected, height will be automatically set to centimetres.

Switching the weight mode

Note : For use only with models containing the weight mode switch

Positioning the Monitor

Place the measuring platform on a hard, flat surface where there is minimal vibration to ensure

safe and accurate measurement.

Use carpet feet when the scale is used on soft surface, such as rugs or carpetings.

Note:

To avoid possible injury, do not step on the edge of the platform.

Do not use the carpet feet on hard, flat surface as the unit may chip over.

Handling Tips

This monitor is a precision instrument utilizing state-of-the-art technology.

To keep the unit in the best condition, follow these instructions carefully:

• Do not attempt to disassemble the measuring platform.

• Avoid excessive impact or vibration to the unit.

• Place the unit in an area free from direct sunlight, heating equipment, high humidity, or extreme temperature change.

• Never submerge in water. Use alcohol to clean the electrodes and glass cleaner (applied to a cloth first) to keep them shiny;

avoid soaps.

• Do not step on the platform when wet.

• Do not drop any objects onto the platform.

• Do not use this scale while operation transmitters (such as a cell phone) as this may affect your results.
