The body analysis weighing mode, called Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA),
which is used by this scale, determines your body fat proportion by transferring
a harmless signal all the way through your body.
A. This scale provides body analysis measures for a majority of people,
but people with the following condition should never use this scale
under this weighing mode:
• Pregnant women
• Those with symptoms of edema
• Those on dialysis treatment
• Those who use heart pacemakers or other implanted medical devices
These people should only use a scale under the regular weighing mode,
which will indicate only your body weight.
B. The fat and hydration percentages content evaluated by this body fat
scale is only for reference (not for medical purpose). If your fat and
hydration percentages content is over/below normal level, please
consult your doctor for more advice.
C. Keep away from strong electro-magnetic fields when using the scale.
Warning!

Battery
To install / Replace battery
Requires one 3V lithium battery (CR2032).
Please remove the isolation sheet from the
battery contact before first use.
Take out the used batteries with the help of a sharp
object ,as shown in picture.
Install new batteries by putting one side of the
battery beneath the battery compartment and then
pressing down the other side.
Setting weight unit
This scale is available in "kg" or "lb". You can
set to the one you prefer by pressing the
unit conversion button on the back of the
scale (picture shown on the right). Press the
unit conversion button when scale is pow-
ered off. LCD shows current weight unit.
Press the button again to convert to another
weight unit.
After selecting the preferred unit, the scale
will auto-off after 3 seconds. The selected
weight unit will be activated the next time
you turn on the scale.
• When setting "lb" as weight unit, the
default height unit is feet/inch.
• When setting "kg" as weight unit, the
default height unit is cm.

2. Consecutive add-on weighing
After digits stabilize, additional loads can be added. Ensure each add-on
load exceeds 2 kg (4.4 lb) to get a new reading.
Example: If you want to get the weight of a baby, you can weigh yourself
first, and then pick up the baby, without stepping off the scale. Then you
will get the total weight reading. Subtracting the original reading from the
new one will give you the baby’s weight.

(2) To start weighing
It is really important to remove your shoes and socks before stepping on
the scale especially when you are using the scale in body analysis weighing
mode. Assure that your feet are well positioned on the metallic sensors,
otherwise the scale will not be able to determine your body composition.
Example: the 3rd user, female, 168cm, 28 years old can measure as follow :
Measured results (Repeat for 3 times and saved. The reading will re-appear at next measuring for
user’s reference):
Weight: 52.8kg, Fat status , Fat 23.8%, Hydration 52.3%, Muscle 37.2%, Bone 12%,

The battery power is running low.
Please replace with new battery.
Overload indication
Maximum weight capacity is 330 lb / 150 kg.
The weighing subject on the platform
exceeds the maximum capability of the scale.
Low Fat % Indication
The fat percentage is below the outlined
performance index and therefore cannot be
measured. (see Performance Index section)
Please consult a health care professional.
High Fat % Indication
The fat percentage is above the outlined
performance index and therefore cannot be
measured. (see Performance Index section)
Please consult a health care professional.
Re-test
Error exists, please step off the scale and

3. Fat / Hydration Content Fitness Assessment Chart
After weighing, you can use the following Assessment Chart for reference:
*** The above information is for detailed reference only. For more detailed information, consult your health care professional.
BF: Fat % BW: Hydration % BM: Muscle % BONE: Bone %
1. Body Fat Percentage
Body fat scale sends a small and completely harmless electrical current
through your body. The electrical current passes more quickly through fat
free tissue like muscle than it does through fat. The amount of resistance to
the electrical current relates to how much fat-free mass a person has and
their body density.
2. Understanding the readings
Fat percentage is an index of fat content in human body.
The same goes for hydration, bone and muscle.
The information provided by the scale is for reference only.
Consult your health care professional for more detailed information.
