HOW DOES THE GoWISE USA BODY FAT SCALE WORK?
This GoWISE USA body fat scale uses Bio Impedance Analysis (BIA) technology which passes an
electrical current through the body to body fat mass, total body water, lean mass, and
bone mass. The electrical current is small and may not be felt. Contact is made with the body
via stainless steel pads on the m of the scale.

NOTE: This device is a personal monitor and should be used in a consistent manner for the
most accurate readings. While readings ohis analyzer might be differen han that of other
scales (hydro-densitometry or hand held calipers), your changes in body fat percentage shown
by this product will be reflected accurately.
IMPORTANT: The informaon provided by this device is NOT meano treat, cure, or prevent
any disease or illness. This device should NOT be used by anyone who is acutely or chronically ill,
suffering from a disease, or taking medicaons that affect your water levels. The accuracy of
readings for these paents has not been verified.Specific medical advice should be obtained
from a physician.
CAUTION:This scale is NOT intended for use by pregnantwomen or childrenunder the age of 18.
It should also NOT be used by anyone with an implanted medical device (such asapacemaker,
metal plates or screws; or contracepve devices). Ifin doubt, contact your physician.
This analyzer will work accurately as a scale for anyone, within the specificaons and warnings
noted above, and give accurate body fat readings for the majority of people.
BODY FAT – WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
Human body is made up of, among other things, a percentage offat. Body fas an important
component of a healthy and funconing body because it protects vital organs, helps regulate
body temperature, stores vitamins, and helps the body sustain itself when food is scarce.
However, too much body fat or too lile body fat can cause damage to your health. Isdifficult
to gauge how much body fat we have in our bodies simply by looking at ourselves in the mirror.
This is why is importano measure and monitor your body fat percentage. Body fat
percentage gives you a beer measurement offitness than weight alone; the composion of
your weight loss could mean you are losing muscle mass rather than fat—you could sll have a
high percentage offat even when a weight-only scale indicates ‘normal weight’.

1. Ideal body fat contens NOT the same for all people. Age, sex, and heredity are
variables in this measurement. The table thaollows is a general guide. Consult your
physician to determine whas mosdeal for you.
2. Is recommended to measure body fat and weight daily ahe same me.
3. Use this product without clothing for best accuracy. Clothes can vary in weight and
affec he percentage calculaon.
4. Feet must be bare and clean. For best readings, they should also be slightly damp.
BODY WATER – WHY MEASURE IT?
Body water is the single mosmportant component oody weight. It represents over half of
your total weight and almoswo thirds of your lean body mass (predominantly muscle).
Water performs a number ofimportant roles in the body. All the cells in the body (whether in
the skin, glands, muscles, brain, or anywhere else) can only funcon properly ihey have
enough water. Water also plays a vital parnregulang the body’s temperature balance,
parcularly through perspiraon. The combinaon of your weight and fat measurement could
appear to be ‘normal’, but your body hydraon level could be insufficien or healthy living.
LEVEL OF HYDRATION
This scale measures your weight and the electrical impedance between your feet--and then
combines those readings with the personal informaon you entered (Height, Age, Gender). It
then automacally calculates your body fat percentage. Your level o ydraon (water content)
varies throughouhe day and affects your impedance measurement. If you are dehydrated,
there is a greater chance for fluctuaon in the body fat percentage displayed by this scale than
when you are fully hydrated.
For best results, choose a consistenme to use this analyzer, such as in the morning. By
establishing the paern of your body’s fluctuaon over a period of one month, you can
determine your average level oody fat. Women will have more fluctuaon in water content
than men and need to monitor their reading over a longer period to establish a personal
average. You must determine this as a reference point before measuring progress in a health
program.
You must wait severalhoursbefore taking a bodyfat readingwhen:Drinking coffee or alcohol,
taking diurecmedicaons, or exercising. These all affect your level o ydraon and the
accuracy ohis scale.

Body water measurement results are influenced by the n of body fat and muscle. If
the n of body fat is high, or the n of muscle is low, then the body water
results will tend to be low.
It is important to remember that measurements such as body weight, body fat and body water
are tools for you to use as part of your healthy lifestyle. Since short term s can be
normal, we suggest that you chart your progress over , rather than focus on a single day’s
reading. Consult your physician to determine what is most ideal for you.
MUSCLE MASS – WHY SHOULD I KNOW IT?
According to the American College of Sports Medicine (ASCM), lean muscle mass may decrease
by almost 50 percent between the ages of 20-90. An y lifestyle can cause loss
of lean body mass while body fat increases. It’s also important to know your muscle mass
percent during weight At rest, the body burns approximately 110 calories
for each kilo of muscle gained. Benefits of gaining muscle mass include:
Reversing the decline in strength, bone density, and muscle mass with aging.
Maintenance of flexible joints.
Guide weight r n when combined with a healthy diet.

IMPORTANT CAUTION: Proper calorie intake and nutrion are importano maintain a healthy
body. Consultaphysician before undertaking any exercise or diet program.
BONE MASS – WHY MEASURE IT?
Regular exercise and a balanced diet can help maintain healthy bones. Like muscle, bone is a
living ssue that can respond to exercise by becoming stronger. For most people, bone mass
peaks in their thires. Then people begin to lose bone. Regular exercise can help prevenhat
loss.
Calcium and vitaminD(good sources include dairy products, green leafy vegetables, and fish)
contribute to healthy bones.
The bone mass readings given by this product are an esmaon ohe amount oone in your
body. Individuals with osteoporosis or low bone densies may not get accurate esmaons. If
you have any concern regarding your bones, please consult your doctor.
USING YOUR BODY FAT SCALE
In order to measure body fat and body mass index, you musirst enter your height, age and
gender (in athlete mode if applicable). The scale uses these parameters to calculate your
measurements. Screen prompts will lead you through programming your personal informaon
into the scale. The scale will then use the data to compute your measurement results.
NOTE: Athlete mode uses addionalsoware to calculate more accurate results for highly fit
individuals—persons who do 10 hours or more per week of aerobic acvity and have a resng
heart rate of 60 beats per minute. The scale is not calibrated for professional athletes or body
builders.
Bare feet are required for the analyzer to funcon properly:
Remove your shoes and socks before beginning the measurement. In order to gehe most
accurate and consistent reading, wipe your feet with a damp cloth, leaving them slightly damp
before stepping onto the scale.
REMINDER:The scale needs to be inializedaerbaeryinstallaon. The scale may also need
to be inialized ifis moved or bumped. At all other mes, you may directly proceed with the
following instrucons for programming your personal data into the scale. To inialize the
scale, simply press firmly on the scale plaorm. The display will show “0.0” and automacally
turn off. Your scale is now ready for use.
NOTE: The illustraons in this manual are guides only. The display on your scale may differ
slightly

WEIGHT ONLY OPERATION
Your GoWISE USA Digital Body Fat Scale will operate as conven onal weight-reading
scale. No special programming steps are required.
Once the scale is , as previously described, you may simply step on the scale to
measure your current weight. For only weight reading:
1. n the scale on a flat, hard surface. Carpeted or uneven floors may affect
accuracy.
2. Step onto the scale m and remain l while the scale computes your
weight.
3. The scale will save your weight value.
4. The scale will cally turn off r
5 seconds.
