How to Ensure Accurate Readings
• Always measure barefoot. Do not step on unit with wet feet, wearing socks or shoes to prevent slipping,
damage and inaccurate readings
• Recommended to be placed on hard at surface only.
• Always weigh yourself on the same scale, same place and same surface if possible.
• Recommended measurement time is after waking up but before breakfast (optimal), 2 hours after recent
meal but before the next meal, or before bed but 2 hours after dinner.
• Erroneous measurements can occur if feet are dirty, dry or extremely callous.
• Body fat percentage estimates will vary with the amount of water in the body, and can be affected by
dehydration or over-hydration due to such factors as alcohol consumption, menstruation, illness, intense
exercise.
• Stand upright and not to the edge of the scale to ensure good contact with the lm or electrodes (the lm
and electrodes both are conductive media depending scale models).
• Horizontal line should be running below arch of each foot.
• Full feature of scale only available with corresponding app.
How does the Wireless Body Analysis Scale work?
This Wireless Body Analysis Scale uses BIA (Bio-electrical Impedance Analysis) technology to estimate body
fat mass, muscle mass, total body water and bone mass. The general principle behind: two or more conduc-
tors (electrode or ITO lm) on the scale contact person’s body and a small electric current is sent through
the body. The resistance between the conductors will provide a measure of body fat. The electrical current is
small and may not be felt.

Operating Instructions
NOTE: This device is a personal monitor and should be used in a consistent manner for the most accurate
reading. While readings of this analyzer might be different with that of others (hydro-densitometry or hand
held calipers), your changes in body fat percentage shown by this device will be reected accurately.
While this analyzer will work accurately as a scale for anyone and give accurate body fat readings for a ma-
jority of people, it is not intended for being used by pregnant women or children under the age of 18.

Operating Instructions
11. Reading the Data from Wireless Body Analysis Scale. After nishing the pairing process. You are ready
to explore the journey to measure weight and body composition.
The Wireless Body Analysis Scale uses BIM technology. Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIM) is a method
of measuring body fat percentage by sending a low-level, safe, electrical current through the body. There-
fore, you need to remove your shoes and socks, and then stand on the scale barefoot, covering the chrome
discs located on the face of the scale.
The scale will fail to measure body composition if your feet are too dry to make a connection. For these
circumstances, try to moisten your feet with a damp tissue or cloth to take readings.
Never attempt to take reading when you are wet after a shower/bath or sauna/steam room or after vigorous
exercise.
A summary of your data is then displayed on the App screen, and the scale display only shows your weight.
You can monitor weight, BMI, Body Fat (%), Visceral Fat (%), Muscle Mass (%), Bone Mass (lb), Hydration
(%) and Calories for you.
12. Take routine readings and explore the App functions
Understanding your information

Body Fat %
This value can serve as a guide to whether you need to adjust your diet, tness program or uid
intake to help you to achieve a healthy balance. Our bodies comprise of bone, fat and muscle. Fat
is vital for a healthy, functioning body – it protects vital organs, cushions joints, helps regulate body
temperature, stores vitamins and helps the body sustain itself when food is in short supply. But too
much or too little body fat can be damaging to our health. This is why it is important to measure and
monitor our body fat percentage using the Wireless Body Analysis Scale.
Body fat percentage gives us a good measure of wellness when used in conjunction with weight – if
we are aiming to lose weight, our weight loss could be because we are losing muscle mass, rather
than fat - we can still have a high percentage of fat even when a scale indicates ‘normal weight’.
MALE Age 20-29 30-39 40-49 50-59 60+
Low <13 <14 <16 <17 <18
Optimal 14-20 15-21 17-23 18-24 19-25
Moderate 21-23 22-24 24-26 25-27 26-28
High >23 >24 >26 >27 >28
For guidance, the Body Fat ranges for men and women are:
Female Age 20-29 30-39 40-49 50-59 60+
Low <19 <20 <21 <22 <23
Optimal 20-28 21-29 22-30 23-31 24-32
Moderate 29-31 30-32 31-33 32-33 33-35
High >31 >32 >33 >34 >35

Operating Instructions
Muscle Mass %
Knowing our muscle mass percentage is useful if we are undergoing any changes in our exercise regime or
undertaking a program of weight loss. Lean muscle mass may decrease by nearly 50% between the ages
of 20 and 90. We can replace this loss with fat if we don't maintain our exercise levels. We can also lose
muscle rather than fat if we undergo starvation-type diets, which are not recommended. At rest, the body
burns approximately 50 additional calories for each pound of muscle gained. So if we come off a starva-
tion-type diet, we actually put on more weight as fat. Ideally we want to maintain our muscle mass % while
reducing fat %.
Hydration %
Water is a vital element in the majority of the body’s functions and can be found in every cell, tissue, and
organ. A healthy hydration % needs to be maintained to operate at maximum efciency. Hydration levels
uctuate throughout the day, so use this measurement as a guide and not your absolute. Also note that
eating large meals, consuming alcohol, menstruation, illness, exercising and bathing may cause variations
in your hydration level. Optimal hydration % for Women is 45-60% and for Men is 50-65%.
Body Mass Index (BMI)
Body Mass Index (BMI) is an index of weight-for-height that is routinely used to classify underweight, over-
weight and obesity in adults.
Visceral Fat (%)
Visceral Fat is located in our abdominal cavity (stomach area) and surrounds our vital organs. The more
visceral fat you have the greater the chance of developing insulin resistance (leading to type 2 diabetes),
heart disease and high blood pressure.
The Wireless Body Analysis Scale gives a visceral fat percentage for reference. Visceral Fat percentage
between 1% and 9%: Indicates that you have a healthy level of visceral fat.
Visceral Fat percentage more than 9%: Indicates that you could have excess visceral fat and you may wish
to consider modifying your diet or increasing your exercise levels.
Bone Mass (lb)
Similar to MUSCLE MASS percentage, understanding changes in our BONE MASS (lb) can be useful,
especially during weight reduction programs.
Male Weight Less than 132 lb 132-165 lb More than 165 lb
Calculated Bone 5.5 lb 6.4 lb 7 lb
Female Weight Less than 99 lb 99-132 lb More than 132 lb

Calories
It is a measure of the number of calories required to keep your body functioning at rest.

Maintenance and Care
• When the scale is overloaded, it will display “OL”.
• When the battery needs to be replaced, it will display “Lo”.
• Ensure the scale is used on a at, even and rm surface. Avoid carpet or soft surface.
• Always weigh yourself with the same scale placed on the same surface. Uneven oor may affect the
reading.
• The surface of the scale will be slippery if wet. Keep it dry!
• To ensure a consistent result, weigh yourself without clothing and footwear, before meals and at the
same time of day.
• Do not expose scale to direct sunlight.
• Keep the scale in a dry place to protect the electronic components.
• Clean after use with a lightly damp cloth, do not use solvents or immerse the product in water.
