Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the BIOS Living Body Analysis Scale.This precision
device was developed with state-of-the-art technology and has a capacity of
396 lbs / 180 kg.The scale measures body fat by using one of the most reliable
methods of analyzing body composition – Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis
(BIA). It measures body fat and hydration percentage by analyzing biological
impedance and other body parameters through mild electronic current through
the body. These electronic currents are safe, but this scale should not be used
by individuals with pacemakers or other medical implants.
