BFA-01 PORTABLE MONITOR FOR BODY FAT & HYDRATION
USER MANUAL
INTRODUCTION AND PRECAUTION:
1. Congratulation for having acquired this body fat and hydration monitor (the Device) as
measuring device of your body fat%(Fat%)as well as body hydration %(hydration %).
The principle of this device is based on the measurement of body's electronic impedance
known as bio-electrical term named as 'Bio-electronic Impedance Analysis' (BIA),a
factor related to the body fat & hydration percentage and corresponded with other
physical data(Age, Gender,Body Height,Body Weight).
2. The evaluated readings of body fat & hydration % are only reference value. It is not
recommended for use of any medical purpose. Please always consult your medical
doctor for advice of any medication or diet in order to achieve normal weight level.

3. People,who using or wearing pacemaker or other medical transplanter with electronic
components,are not recommended to use this device. Transplanter performance may be
jeopardous and impaired.
4. To prevent interference, do not use the device in environment near equipments with
strong electro-magnetic field. Always keep a good distance from such equipments
when operating Device , or simply turn off those equipments radiating strong
electromagnetic
fields before operating.

INITIAL PREPARATION:
1. Install 2x 3.0v lithium onto the compartment underneath the main apparatus unit.
2. Use your dry and clean hand to hold the unit in front of your breast.
FAT MONITOR SCALE OPERATION:
Initial Set Up :
1. Press button ' on/set ' Key to wake up the unit. All LCD segments light up briefly and
prompt to setting mode starting from Memory selection. By pressing button 'on/set '
key again will take you through cycle of setting all parameters.
See following illustration:

a. Press up/down arrow (▲▼) batton to advance / reverse to adjust to your weight .
When press (▲▼) shortly it will incease /decrease 0.1kg/0. 1lb .When press
(▲▼ ) button Continuously it will increase /decrease 1.0kg/2.2lb .
Press(on/set )button to confirm setting.LCD will prompt to next parameter setting
(memory station) at the same time.
b. Press Up / Down Arrow (▲▼ ) button to advance / reverse to the memory station
which you would like to choose or had been designated to you. Press (on/set) button
to confirm setting, LCD will prompt to next parameter setting(Gender) at the same
time.
c. Press Up / Down Arrow (▲▼) button to advance / reverse to choose the gender of
you. Press (on/set) button to confirm setting. LCD will prompt to next parameter
Setting (Height) at the same time.
d. Press Up / Down Arrow (▲▼) button to advance / reverse to the adjust to your
height . Press (on/set) button to confirm setting, LCD will prompt to next parameter
(Age) at the same time.
e. Press Up / Down Arrow (▲▼ ) button to advance/reverse to adjust to your age.
Press(on/set) button to confirm setting. LCD will prompt to Memory setting.
All setting complete!!!
At any stage of setting. Press on/start to enter normal operating mode.
At this point, you can continue to press (on/set) button a few consecutive times
to re-cycle through the setting mode to review and Ensure all the parameters
are correctly set . LCD will prompt to Memory setting. All setting comple
f. Press (start) button to exit setting mode and enter normal operating mode. LCD will
prompt to 'BF --- ' . you are ready to hold the BIA conductive pads of the device , and
let the unit compute your Fat %, Hydration %.
2. Hold the device in front of your breast ,and place your arms perpendicular to your
body (alway Ensure to only use your dry and clean hand to hold the device directly ),
while holding on , align your hand to the BIA conductive pads , one for each hands .
3. As soon as yo hold the pads , LCD will immediately display '□□□ ' .
4. Within a few seconds, the unit will automatically measure our Fat % and Hydration %.
LCD will prompt to show your Fat % (icon "BF") followed by hydration % (icon "BW").
Subsequently, LCD will prompt back and forth alternately between value of Fat % and
hydration % for 5 times, and then automatically shut down.
By the lower edge of the LCD, you will see a bar line of multiple vertical bars.This
key line indicates your Fat % level, telling where your fat level standing is
comparing to the statistics norms. Whether you are considered as thin, normal,
or obesity. Your can take this indication as a reference data of your condition.

NOTE:
Whenever pressing (on/set) button, turning on the unit for fresh operation ,you can
always go through the same steps from Illustration No.(a) to (f) to verify or adjust all
personal data , before measuring for new records.
ERROR & OTHER LCD MESSAGE:
LCD may show occasionaly error message ' Err '. Simply turn off the unit for a brief
moment, or remove and re-install battery as a total re-set. Then turn on again to resume
operation
OTHER MESSAGES:
1. All segments lit up unanimously:Indicating all segments performing correctly.
2. " LO ": Main unit battery power running low.
3. " Err-h ": The computed Fat % rate too high above range of upper limit.
4. " Err-L ": The computed Fat % rate too low below range of lower limit.
MAINTENANCE & PROPER USAGE:
1. Use a dry, soft fabric to clean the device. Or a lightly damp soft fabric with mild
detergent to wipe clean the device. Do Not use strong chemical solution as alcohol,
benzene for cleaning
2. Remove the battery if the device is not going to be used for a long period of time.
3. Do not drop the device, or power hold the device when using . Avoid strong impact
and sudden shake as it is a precision measuring device. The appliance is
delicate and sensitive to all unwanted external influence.
4. Do not attempt to open the unit and repair the unit. Other wise this will invalidate
the guarantee.

battery power has been too low. Insert or replace new battery. Or contact your dealer
for consultation.
6. If there are some error on the display or can not turn off for a long time, please
take off the battery for about 3 seconds. Then encase it again to remove the soft-fault.
7. Our company will not be responsible for mis-use of the device for other purpose
that incur physical damages to the user or any other third party users.
REFERENCE INFORMATION:
The evaluated body fat result is based on a standardised measuring method. It is
calculated by a correlated formula developed on basis of extensive scientific studies.
The hydration contect in the lean muscle affects measuring result. Individual habits
and lifestyle will affect balance of hydration level. Other factors, such as following
may affect hydration balance:

a. After a bath, readings can be lower.
b. After a meal or drink readings can be higher.
c. During female mentrual period or pregnant period reading can be fluctuated/inconsitent.
d. Loss of hydration by illness, energetic physical activities that cause heavy
sweat and dehydration readings can be lower.
e. Table below given estimate physical status relating to the indicated Fat %/
Hydration% from the scale:
PLEASE READ FOLLOWING NOTES CAREFULLY FOR PROPER UNDERSTANDING
OF THE APPLICATION/SIGNIFICANCE OF THE DEVICE:
1. The Fat %/Hydration% content evaluated by the Fat Monitor is only for reference.
The physical outlook of body does not necessary give congruent Fat %/Hydration%
readings, nor the same physically built persons of same age and sex should give the
same readings. Please consult one's doctor to determine best the condition of body
Fat /Hydration percentage that one should achieve.
2. Body Fat/Hydration device is not suitable for use people of following conditions:
* Children under 10, and adult over 80
* People with symptoms of fever, edema, osteoporosis.
* People on dialysis treatment.
* People taking cardiovascular medicine.
* Being pregnant
* Athletes who undertake more than 10 hours of intensive sport activity.
* Those with heart pulse rate under 60 beats/minutes.
