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 reected 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
Quick Start Guide
1. Remove the battery cover at the back of Wireless Body Analysis Scale, and insert 2x1.5V AAA batteries
(not included) into the unit. Make sure the polarity is correct when done. Then, put back the battery cover. Do
not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc) or rechargeable (nickel-cadmium)
batteries.
2. Place the unit on a hard at surface (avoiding carpets or soft surface).
3. To set “units” in lbs, press the button located on the back of the unit, right behind the display. The set
display unit is kg, lbs, st:lb.
4. This product does not have an ON/OFF button. It will turn on when you press the middle button located on
the back of the unit.

Operating Instructions
9. Press “Save” to store the measured data inside the App with the Wireless Body Analysis Scale.
8. Click “Weight” & “Start Measurement”, wait the App screen showing green display, and then stand on
the scale for Bluetooth-Pairing to measure and obtain the weight data.

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
The information displayed: Weight (kg, lb or st:lb), Body Fat (%), Bone Mass (lb), Muscle Mass (%), Hydra-
tion (%), Calories and BMI.
Weight
Your weight displays and gets stored in the App. It will show your weight in relation to your target weight in
a line graph, and you can view this over a week, month, year or all of your data.
10. You can see your past measured temperature data through “My History” and/or “Health report” to
review and print report.

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’.
