TAKING WEIGHT AND BODY FAT READINGS

UNDERSTANDING YOUR READING

Healthy Range Indicator (Standard Adults only*)

Your body fat monitor/scale automatically compares your body fat reading to

the Healthy Body Fat Range chart.

Following your body fat percentage reading, a black bar will flash along the

bottom of the display, identifying where you fall within the Body Fat Ranges for

your age and gender. For example, if the squares appear above (0) area your

range is within the Healthy Range – if they appear over (-) area, your reading is

below the Healthy Range. For more about the Healthy Range, see page 2.

(-) :

Underfat; below the healthy body fat range. Increased risk for health problems.

(0) :

Healthy; within the healthy body fat percentage range for your age/gender.

(+) : Overfat; above the healthy range. Increased risk for health problems.

(++) : Obese; high above the healthy body fat range. Greatly increased risk

of obesity-related health problems.

Using your toe, tap your pre-programmed Personal Key.

The unit will beep and the display will show the programmed date.

The unit will beep again and the display will show "0.0".

Now step onto the platform.

Note: If you step onto the platform before “0.0” appears the display will show “Err” and you

will not obtain a reading. Furthermore, if you do not step onto the measuring platform

within about 60 seconds after “0.0” appears, the power is shut-off automatically.

HOW TO DETERMINE BODY FAT PERCENTAGE

GETTING ACCURATE READINGS

Setting and Storing Data in Memory

The unit can be operated only if data has been programmed into one of the personal data memories or the Guest mode.

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.

Why is the machine showing Err? I tried changing the battery but still it didn’t work. What should I do? Submitted on 8-1-2022 at 10:08
