Inserting the Batteries
Open the battery cover on the back of the measuring platform. Insert the supplied
AA-batteries as indicated.
Note: Be sure that the polarity of the batteries is set properly. If the batteries are incorrectly
positioned the fluid may leak and damage floors. If you do not intend to use this
unit for a long period of time, it is advisable to remove the batteries before storage.
Please note that the included batteries from factory may have decreased energy levels over
time.
Positioning the Monitor
Place the measuring platform on a hard, flat surface where there is minimal vibration to
ensure safe and accurate measurement.
To ensure accuracy, readings should be taken without clothing and under consistent
conditions of hydration. If you do not undress, always remove your socks or
stockings, and be sure the soles of your feet are clean before stepping on the
measuring platform.
Be sure that your heels are correctly aligned with the electrodes on the measuring
platform. Don't worry if your feet appear too large for the unit accurate readings can
still be obtained if your toes overhang the platform.
It is best to take readings at the same time of day. Try to wait about three hours after
rising, eating, or hard exercise before taking measurements.
While readings taken under other conditions may not have the same absolute
values, they are accurate for determining the percentage of change as long as the
readings are taken in a consistent manner. To monitor progress, compare weight
and body fat percentage taken under the same conditions over a period of time.
