HOW IT WORKS
The glass electronic scale displays the percentage of body fat in relation to the total body
weight.
The electrodes under the standing platform send out a mild, safe electrical current to
measure the electrical resistance of the body. Lean muscle has a lower resistance than
fat and this can be correlated with body weight. The built-in computer uses this information
along with your gender, height, and age to compute the percentage of the of body fat.
The scale has up to 12 memory slots, allowing it to be used by everyone in the family
without entering personal data every time. The built-in micro-chip gives a reading within
30 seconds.

Do not expose the scale to humidity.
Do not step on the scale with wet feet or body. Do not stand off-center on the weighing
surface.
Do not use the scale when the unit or the glass surface are damaged.
If the scale will not be used for a long period of time, remove the batteries.
To clean the unit, only use a moistened, soft cloth. Do not apply chemical solvents or cleaning
agents, as they may damage the surface and/or labelling of the unit.

certain amount of body fat is essential for a healthy body.
thin person can have too high a percentage of body fat, and an overweight
person might be particularly muscular and have a healthy amount of body fat.
The reading for your body fat percentage/ratio may change throughout the day,
especially if the amount of water in your body changes. lcohol, caffeine, strenuous
exercise, illness, and menstruation are some common causes of fluctuations in
the amount of water in your body. We recommend that you average readings
over several days to come up with a body fat percentage baseline. This will help
compensate for fluctuations. lso, using your glass electronic scale at the same
time each day will help you to achieve consistent readings.
These percentages are given only as a basic guideline. Please consult your doctor
or health care professional to determine the ideal body fat range for you.
