QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:
How exactly is my body fat being measured?
This Body Fat Scale uses a measurement method known as Bioelectrical
Impedance Analysis (BIA). A small current is sent through your body, via
yourfeetandlegs.Thiscurrentowseasilythroughtheleanmusculartissue

uidcontent.Inthisway,thebio-impedance(i.e.resistancetothecurrent)is
used to estimate body fat and body water. The electrical current is small and
may not be felt. Contact with the body is made via metal electrodes on the
platform of the scale.
What is the value of the current passing through me when the measurement
is taken? Is it safe?
This BIA technology is safe, non-invasive, toxic-free and harmless. The current
is measured at less than 1mA. However, please be aware that anyone with a
wearable or implantable medical device, such as a pacemaker, must avoid
using this device. Do not use on pregnant women. The result is inaccurate and
effects on the fetus are unknown.
Why is the Athlete Mode necessary in a Body Fat Scale?
It has been found that body fat estimation using BIA could overestimate the
percentage body fat of adult elite athletes. The physiological variation of
athletes in bone density and level of hydration are two of the reasons said to
account for the difference.
What is the denition of an Athlete?
The general consensus among researchers is that a quantitative dimension

person who consistently works out for approximately 3 times per week at 2
hours for each occurrence. These individuals should select Athlete Mode for the
most accurate measurement results.
Please note scales are not calibrated for professional athletes or body builders.
