MEASURE WEIGHT AND BODY MASS INDEX
(BMI)
If you do not wish to calculate your BMI, simply
step on the scale and wait a few moments until
your weight displays.
1. Press on the remote unit to
switch to the user profiles.
2. Press or until the desired user
number displays. If you select “GUEST”,

remote unit. A “1” will appear in the memory
box on the remote display once the record
has been stored. (Each new measurement
is assigned to the first record number (1).
All other records are pushed back one
digit -- e.g., 2 becomes 3, and so on). The
weight will be shown first, followed by the
BMI value if the height has been set for that
user record. If no height has been set,
“- - - -” will show for the BMI value.
The scale display will automatically
go off after 5 - 10 seconds, even if weight is
still applied. The remote display will return
to clock mode if it is left idle for 30 seconds.
Press any key to prolong the display.
ACCESS USER MEMORY
This product can save up to 7 records for each
user. Each record is saved with the time-date
stamp, weight, and body mass index (BMI)
calculation. Records cannot be saved for
guests.

profiles.
2. Press or until the desired user
number appears.
3. Press . A “1” will show in the MEM
box for the selected user.
4. Press or to scroll through the

alternatively display every 2 seconds.
The time and date for the measurement
are shown at the bottom of the screen.
NOTE
If the height has not been set,
"- - - -" will display for the BMI value.
Refer to the SET USER PROFILE section
(3) for height setting instructions.
RESET SYSTEM
The RESET buttons are located in or near the
battery compartments for the scale and remote
unit. Press these buttons with the tip of a blunt
object (such as a ballpoint pen) whenever you
change the batteries, or whenever performance

establish radio frequency link with remote unit).
This will return all settings to default value.
Once you press RESET, repeat Steps 6 - 7 of
the GETTING STARTED section ( 3).
RESET does not erase user
profiles, records, or measurement units
that were previously stored. To erase a
record, simply record new data over it.
BATTERIES
Batteries for the remote unit and scale are
supplied with this product. Replace them
whenever the low battery signal ( ,, or )
displays on the scale or remote unit. Remove the

HOW THE BODY WEIGHT MONITOR
WORKS
What does the body weight monitor
measure?
The body weight monitor measures weight and
calculates body mass index (BMI), an
international standard for assessing overall
health.
How does the body weight monitor work?
This product uses wireless radio frequency (RF)
technology to transmit data from the scale to the
remote unit. The range for the transmission is
8 meters, in any direction from the scale.
When you step on the scale, your weight is
measured in pounds, kilograms, or stone
pounds, depending on the unit you select. The
measurement is then transmitted to the remote
unit, where the body mass index (BMI) can be
calculated provided you have created a user
profile for yourself or entered the height if you are
using the “GUEST” profile.
What is body mass index (BMI)?
Body mass index (BMI) is a widely used
international standard that measures height to
weight ratio to determine obesity. BMI is
expressed by the following terms:
BMI = Body weight (kg)
[Body height (m)]2
The BMI index is only a general
indicator of overall health. The range
may vary depending on your body type
and composition. Consult with your
doctor to gain a full understanding of
your health condition.
How to interpret BMI
The result is a value (such as 22) that
corresponds to the four BMI ranges:
underweight, recommended, overweight, and
obese (described to the right). The ranges are
based on a comprehensive clinical study of the
averages for thousands of people for whom BMI
was calculated. BMI can be used to estimate
potential health risks. Based on this research, it
has been shown that the health risk for people
with a BMI of 22 is lowest.

Consult your physician before you
begin a new diet or exercise program.
BMI should not be used as a health risk
indicator for the following groups:
•Children and teenagers - BMI ranges
are based on adult heights.
•Athletes and body builders - BMI
does not differentiate between fat
and muscle and can therefore be
inaccurate for people with high
muscle density.
•Pregnant or nursing women - this
group may experience elevated fat
levels as part of the pregnancy.
•People over age 65 - this group may
experience elevated fat levels as part
of the aging process.
