NOTE: If you are using this calculator to track PointsPlusTM values,
after every seven days of tracking, your calculator will ask you to
confirm or update your weight to help you progress towards your
goal (see page 19-20).
Now that you’ve personalized your calculator with your daily
PointsPlus Target, you are ready to begin tracking. Your calculator
can track both the PointsPlus values that you calculate and the
PointsPlus values for foods you already know.
To track the PointsPlus values that you have calculated:
Every time you calculate a PointsPlus value for
a new food, the word USE? will appear on your
screen. (See page 4 for calculating PointsPlus
values.) Press ENTER to tell your calculator to subtract this PointsPlus
value from your daily PointsPlus Target.
If you are having more than one serving of
the same food, you can multiply the serving
and the calculator will calculate the total
PointsPlus value. To multiply the number
of servings, press the X key.
Put in the number of servings. (In this example
two servings are shown.)
Then press ENTER to subtract that value from
your daily PointsPlus Target, or press CE
to exit. The PointsPlus values you have
remaining for the day will appear on the screen.

If you are not having a full serving of the food
you calculated, use the divide function (the ÷ key)
for your calculator to provide the PointsPlusTM
value for the portion you are having.
NOTE: According to the Weight Watchers®plan, when you have more
than one or only a portion of a serving, the calculator accounts for
all the nutrition information you have entered and does not simply
multiply or divide the PointsPlus value.
Now if you already know the PointsPlus value of a food, you
can track those foods without going through the steps above.
Press the PointsPlus key and you will see
CALCULATE? on screen.
Press the DOWN ARROW key and you will see
the word USE? Enter in the known PointsPlus
value of that food and press ENTER.
The value will be subtracted from your daily
target and you’ll now see your remaining
daily PointsPlus values for the day.
15
NOTE: If you use more PointsPlus values than you have in your daily
PointsPlus Target, your calculator will automatically subtract them from
your weekly allowance. Use the DOWN ARROW key to view your remaining
weekly PointsPlus Allowance.

Press the key to review. The PointsPlus
values you have left for that day will appear.
Press the DOWN ARROW key to see how much
of your weekly PointsPlus Allowance is left.
Because your calculator tracks your PointsPlus values for
seven days, you can see how you’ve used your PointsPlus
values in past days.
After viewing your remaining weekly
PointsPlus Allowance (see previous page)
press the DOWN ARROW key again to see
your information from previous days,
starting with Day 1 of tracking.
Continue to press the DOWN ARROW key
to scroll through past days and the daily
PointsPlus values used.

To start a new day, you’ll need to tell your calculator when
tracking for the new day should begin.
Press the key.
If you have not set up your daily target, your
daily PointsPlusTM Target shown will be 0. You
should calculate your daily PointsPlus Target
to track your days (see page 6). If you have
completed set up, your daily PointsPlus
Target is displayed, press ENTER to confirm.
Each time you want to start tracking for a
new day press the key and press ENTER to
confirm. Repeat for each new day of tracking.
When you want to start tracking a new week,
it’s just as simple.
Press key between Day 1 to 7. (You can start
tracking a new week on any day; you do not
need 7 full days of tracking before you can start
a new week.) Press DOWN ARROW key.
Press ENTER to start a new week.
While we strongly encourage you set up your daily target to track, for
those that would like to or need to manually input a daily PointsPlus
Target, you can do so when you start tracking a new week. Simply:
- Press key and the DOWN ARROW key (same as above).
- Press ENTER to start a new week and then enter your daily
PointsPlus Target, and ENTER again.
