Introduction
Thank you for selecting the Kogan Smart Bluetooth Body Fat Scale. The scale
measures eight and uses bio-electrical impedance analysis (BIA) technology to
estimate body fat, total body ater percentage, bone mass and muscle mass in
generally healthy children from 14-17 years old and healthy adults.
Safety Information
The symbols belo may appear in the user manual, labelling or other
components. Please follo all instructions.
Symbol for “Guide must be read” Symbol for “manufacturer”
The Bluetooth compatible symbol Symbol for “Environment Protection –
aste electrical products should not
be disposed of ith the household
aste.
Please recycle here facilities exist.
Check ith your local council or
authorities for recycling advice.”

requirements”
Caution
•The scales offer you a seamless ay to manage your health. Please be
a are that this product is designed for healthy people over 14 years old,
self measuring and self monitoring their body compositions. Any
information provided by this device is in no ay meant to treat, cure or
prevent any disease or illness from happening.
•If in doubt, contact your doctor.
•DO NOT use this device if pregnant or if you suspect you may be pregnant.
The effects of this device on a fetus is unkno n and untested.
•DO NOT use this device if you have a earable or implanted electronic
device such as a defibrillator or pacemaker.
•This device should not be used by someone ho is acutely or chronically ill
or suffering from a disease or taking medications that ill affect your ater
levels. The accuracy of the readings for these patients cannot be verified.
Specific medical information should be obtained from a doctor.
•The scales are equipped ith data transmission functions, therefore it ill
emit electromagnetic energy to perform its intended function. Nearby
portable and mobile RF communications equipment can affect the
performance.
•No modifications of this equipment are allo ed.
•Please only use the device as described in this user manual. Any misuse
may cause electric shock, burns, fire or other unexpected hazards.
•Do not expose the scales to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight,
moisture or a corrosive environment.
•Do not step on the scale hen your body or feet are et, especially after
bathing or sho ering.

Usage Tips
•To ensure the accuracy of measurements, please follo the instructions
belo hen starting measurement.
•Place the scale on a flat, hard surface. Soft surfaces such as carpet ill
affect the performance of the scale.
•Step onto the platform ith bare feet. Stand still and keep full contact ith
the electrodes until the measurement is complete.
•Perform measurement at least t o hours after aking up or dining.
•Avoid measurements immediately after strenuous exercise, a sauna, a bath,
drinking or dining.
•Try to perform measurements at the same time of day in the same location
on the same surface.
•The condition of the skin on the bottom of your feet can affect the reading.
The natural effects of aging or activity can make this skin hard. Take the
reading ith clean, slightly damp feet for best accuracy. If you are having
trouble operating the scales, please contact the Kogan customer service
team.
•Body fat percentage estimates ill vary ith the amount of ater in the
body, and can be affected by dehydration or over-hydration due to such
factors as alcohol consumption, menstruation, illness, intense exercise etc...

General Instructions
The Kogan smart scale applies BIA (Bio-impedance Analysis) technology. A small
amount of eak current flo s through the human body so as to detect the bio-
impedence and estimate body fat. The electric current is so small as to not be felt
by the user.
BIA technology is safe, non-invasive, toxin-free and harmless. The current used is
less than 1mA, ho ever anyone earing any form of electronic medical implant
such as a pacemaker must avoid using this device.
Inserting the Batteries
•Open the battery door in the back of the scale.
•Insert the batteries (4 x 1.5V AAA) into the battery compartment,
making note of the polarity indicators marked inside the
compartment.
The digits “8888” ill be sho n on the LCD.
•Close the battery door and ait until the digits “0.0lb” are sho n on
the LCD.
Caution
•When the symbol appears, the device ill po er off. You should then
replace the batteries ith a ne set of batteries. Please replace all four
batteries at the same time. Do NOT mix old batteries ith ne ones.
•Worn out batteries are classified as hazardous aste. Do NOT dispose of
them in the household garbage.
•If you do not intend to use the scales for a prolonged period of time, please
remove the batteries before storing.
Installing the App and Pairing Up
1. With Bluetooth 4.0 technology applied, mobile or portable equipment is
capable of receiving your personal health data.
2. Simply install the App from the App store.
3. Turn on Bluetooth and start the App up, and ensure the scale is turned on
before pairing.

4. Press and hold the UNIT button on the back of the scale to pair up. A
symbol of t o small circles spinning around each other ill display to
indicate that pairing is proceeding.
•If successful, a linked square icon ill sho on the LCD.
•If the pairing fails, an E1 error symbol ill sho on the LCD.
Selecting Measurement Unit
With the batteries installed, press the UNIT button in the back of the
scale to select your preferred measurement unit. The default
measurement unit is lbs (pounds). You may press UNIT to choose
bet een pounds, kilograms or stone.
Measuring
Daily Measurement
The scale ill turn on as soon as you step onto the
platform in bare feet.
Stand still and keep full contact ith the electrodes.
The eight unit ill flash, then the eight
measurement ill be locked. When the moving “o”
animation stops, the LCD ill display the eight and
body fat measurement.
When the scale is successfully paired ith the
smartphone and the Bluetooth is turned on, the data
transfer ill begin automatically.
(Please refer to 'Data Transmission' belo for more
details)

Health Tips – About Body Fat
Fat is essential to the human body. It not only stores energy and protects viscera,
but it also regulates body temperature and maintains the normal physiological
function of the human body. Ho ever, too much body fat is harmful to the human
body, as it can lead to fatty liver, diabetes, coronary heart disease etc...
Self-measuring and self-monitoring your body fat levels is beneficial to your
health. Body fat levels cannot be judged simply by eight.

reflection from structures, objects and people.
a) Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land
mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically
ith accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site
survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in hich the device is used exceeds
the applicable RF compliance level above, the device should be observed to verify normal operation. If
abnormal operations are observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the
device.
b) Over the frequency range 150kHz to 80MHz, field strengths should be less than [V1] V/m.
