than 4.5 pounds from your previous measurement, or if your body weight is within 4.5
pounds of another user profile, then you will need to manually select your user profile
number. For example, if profile 1 and 2 are within 4.5 pounds the scale will display
"P1P2" on the LCD. You can select the correct profile number by pressing the UP or
DOWN buttons under your profile number. The scale will proceed to display body com-
position measurements.
HOW DOES THE SCALE MEASURE BODY COMPOSITION?
This scale uses Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) technology to measure body
composition. BIA technology sends an unperceivable electronic signal through your body
to calculate your body fat, body water and muscle mass percentages. Do not use this
scale if you have a pacemaker or other internal electronic medical device.
HOW DO I GET THE MOST ACCURATE RESULTS?
Hydration levels fluctuate throughout the day and are affected by eating, drinking and
exercise. As a result, for maximum accuracy and repeatability, it is recommended that
this scale is used at the same time of day under the same conditions to establish a per-
sonal average. These readings are a close indication, and not an exact value. Please
consult your doctor for more information.
MEASUREMENTS DURING WEIGHT LOSS
During weight loss, body fat percentages may not change as expected since the reading
is a percentage of body fat compared to body weight, and both could be changing at the
same time. To minimize the loss of lean body tissue, be sure to include exercise in your
weight loss plan.
