4 Prerequisites for correct measuring results
Reliable measurements can only be achieved under certain prerequisites:
• Always measure barefoot.
• The feet must have a good contact with the electrodes on the standing area.
• Stand upright.
• Carry out the measurement approximately 15 minutes after getting up, or after bathing or
showering, with towel-dried feet.
• Please measure at the same time of day if possible.
• Do not measure after strenuous physical exercise. Wait at least an hour before measuring.
• There must not be any dirt stuck to the soles of your feet. Erroneous measuring results may occur if
the soles of your feet are dry or extremely callused.
The amount of body fat, water content and muscle mass can only be reliably monitored using the
measurements if they are taken consistently. Measurements that are taken under varying conditions
can return different values.
