A. USER FRIENDLY TIPS
The devise is designed to allow auto step on. Please always ignore the first reading and only start taking
effective record from the second time weighing.
Always remove your shoes and socks, wipe clean your feet before using.
Step on the weighing platform gently.
It is advisable to take measurement at the same time of the day.
Measured result could be misleading after intensive exercise, excessive dieting or under extreme dehydration
condition.
Always weigh/use the scale on a hard and flat surface.
The measured date of the following people may have deviation :
• Children under 10 or adult over 100 (can only use the devise under normal weighing mode)
• Adult over 70
• Body building athletes or other occupational athletes
People with the following conditions should not use the device :
• Pregnant women

The Fat% Hydration% content evaluated by the Fat Monitor Scale is only for reference (not for medical purpose).
If your Fat% Hydration% content is over/below normal level, please consult your doctor for more advice.
Keep away from strong electro-magnetic field when using the scale.
It could be slippery if you weigh on a wet surface. Moreover, if the weighing platform surface is glazed, never step
on the edge of the scale and do keep balance during your weighing.

G. TO SET WEIGHT UNIT
At the bottom of scale, you
can find a unit conversion
button as shown in picture.
If your scale is available (or applicable) in kg/lb/st, you can set to the one you
prefer by pressing the unit conversion button.
Press the unit conversion button when scale is power off, LCD shows current
weight unit. Press the button again to convert weight unit.
After selecting the prefered unit, the scale will be auto after 3 seconds. Selected weight unit will be activated
when the scale is turned on again.
• When setting lb/st as weight unit, the default height unit is feet/inch.
• When setting kg as weight unit, the default height unit is cm.
Remark : The unit system of scale depends on sales destination or the requirement of distributor.

2. Consecutive add on weighing
After digits stabilize, more additional loadings can be conducted. Ensure each add on loading has to exceed 2kg
to get a new reading.
Example : If you want to get a weighing value of your baby, you can weigh yourself first, and then hold your baby
together, without stepping off the scale. Then you will get the total weight reading. Subtracting the
previous reading of yourself from the new reading, you will get the difference as your baby’s weighing
value.

H. OPTIONAL NORMAL WEIGHING MODE
1. Setting personal parameters
Fat/Hydration/Muscle/Bone/Calorie/Measuring Mode
1) At the first time when you install battery and switch on, all default parameter are set as follow :
2) Parameters can be set in the following range :

3) Parameter setting
Example : the 3rd user, female, 168cm, 28 years old, can set her parameters as follow :
NOTE :
• During parameter setting, if idle for 6 seconds, the parameters already set will be memorized automatically and LCD shows “0”,
meaning body fat measuring will be started.
• If LCD prompt to show “0” during parameter setting, press SET (ON/SET) for 3 seconds to return setting mode, then you can set
user code, gender, height and age.

J. ABOUT FAT/CALORIE
1. About Fat%
2. Working Principles
As electrical signal of certain frequency transmits through human body, the impedance of fat is stronger than
muscle or other human tissues. Through the use of biological resistance analysis, this product will pass a safe
frequency of low voltage electrical current through human body, thus, the Fat% will be reflected according to the
resistance difference when the electrical signal transmitting human body.
3. Fat/Hydration Content Fitness Assessment Chart
After your weighing, you can use the following Assessment Chart for reference :
•
•
Fat% is an index % of fat content in human body.
The fat content in human body is of a certain level, overabundance of fat will bring and bad effects on
metabolism, thereby, various illness may invade. Here goes an old saying “Obesity is hotbed of illness”.
4. Calorie & Energy Consumption
Calorie : Energy Unit
The data reading indicates the energy you need to sustain the daily metabolism and ordinary activities required
for your weight, height, age and sex.
5. Calorie & Losing Weight
Control the calorie intake combined with proper exercise is an effective way to lose weight. This is a very simple
theory. As the daily energy intake cannot support the energy consumption of the human body, the saccharide and
fat stored inside will decompose and provide energy to human body. That leads to weight lose.
