impedance analysis) technology. Weak current ows through the human
body to measure the bioelectrical impedance and estimate body fat
percentage. The electrical current is small and may not be felt.
This BIA technology is non-invasive. The electrical current mentioned above
is less than 1mA.
Preparing for use
Inserting/removing the batteries
Insert new batteries (4x 1.5V AAA alkaline) before the rst use.
Replace weak batteries before they discharge completely.
Note: Data will be lost when the battery is completely empty.
If you do not intend to use the device for a long period of time,
it is advised to remove the batteries before storing.
Caution: Replace all four batteries at the same time. Do not mix the old
batteries with the new ones.

Measuring weight and body fat
Tips for proper measurement
To ensure accurate measurements, please follow these instructions when
you start measuring.
-Place the device on a at, hard surface. Soft surfaces such as carpet
aect the performance of the device.
-A bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) measurement can only be
performed if you are barefoot.
-Step onto the device barefoot, make sure your feet are slightly damp and
clean. Stand still and keep full contact with the measurement platform
until the measurement is complete. Be careful not to slip. The condition
of the skin of the soles of your feet can aect the measurement.
The natural eects of aging or activity can make this skin hard.
-Do not stand on the edge of the scale as you may fall or receive
inaccurate measurements.
-Do not use the device on an uneven oor as it may result in
unreliable data.
-Replace batteries before they are completely empty.

English
14
-For a meaningful comparison, try to measure under similar conditions.
For example, take measurements at approximately the same time, on
the same surface. Body fat percentage estimates will vary as a result of
the amount of water in the body, and can be aected by dehydration
or over-hydration due to such factors as alcohol consumption,
menstruation, illness, intense exercise, etc.
We advise you not to use the scale in the following circumstances, as this
may cause inaccurate measurements:
-Immediately after strenuous exercise.
-Immediately after a sauna or bath.
-Immediately after eating or drinking.
Performing a measurement
