Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the BIOS Living Wireless Body Fat Analyzer Scale.
This precision devise was developed with state-of-the-art technology and has
a capacity of 396 lbs/180 kg. This 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 a
mild electronic current that runs through the body.
Battery Installation
The oor scale and remote unit both use 4 x AAA batteries (included).
Before using the scale open the battery covers located on the back of both
devices and insert batteries. Ensure they are positioned with the correct
polarity.
NOTE: After inserting the batteries the remote unit will
display all data. After 2-3 seconds it will display the time,
temperature and humidity.
Important Information
The oor scale requires bare feet for proper conductivity when measuring body
fat. Place the scale on a hard, at surface for best results. If the scale is placed
on a soft surface, such as carpet or an uneven oor, results may be inaccurate.
NOTE: To get a more accurate average we recommend using the oor scale
and remote unit together.
General Information
By using a unique infrared connection it is possible to place the scale on the
oor while either holding the remote unit in your hands or by attaching it to
the wall at eye level in front of you.
When using the infrared function, it is important that the oor scale and
the remote unit are in line with each other, no further apart than 6.5 ft. / 2
meters with no obstructions between the units.
Instructions for Measurement
This model can be used four different ways:

• Weighing:
1. You can use the oor scale only
2. You can use the oor scale and remote unit together
• Body fat, water and muscle percentage:
1. You can use the remote unit only
2. You can use the oor scale and remote unit together
Using the Floor Scale Only
Located on the back of the oor scale is a switch. The upper setting is “st”
(stones), the middle setting is “lbs” and the last setting is “kg”. Move the
switch to your preferred unit of measurement.
Weight Measurement Using Floor Scale Only
1. Gently using your foot, tap the center of the
oor scale. The display will show “8888”
and then “0.0”.
2. Once the screen shows “0.0”, stand on the
oor unit with both feet. You will see a dotted
line and then your weight will be displayed
for approximately 10 seconds.
NOTE: If you remain on the scale for longer than 10 seconds the scale will
ash “ERR” and automatically shut off. If this occurs step off the scale and
repeat steps 1 and 2.
