HOW TO DETERMINE BODY FAT PERCENTAGE

Setting and Storing Data in Memory
The unit can be operated only if data has been programmed into one of the personal data memories or the Guest mode.
1. Turn on the Power
Press the Set button to turn on the unit (once programmed, tapping a
Personal Key turns on the unit.) The unit will beep to confirm activation, the
Personal Key numbers (1,2,3,4) will be displayed, and the display will flash.
Note: If you don't operate the unit for sixty seconds after the unit has been turned on, the
unit will turn off automatically.
Note: If you make a mistake or want to turn the unit off before you have
finished programming it, press the Weight-Only Key
2. Select a Personal Key Number
Press the Up/Down buttons to select a Personal Key. Once you reach the
Personal Key number you wish to use, press the Set button. The unit will
beep once to confirm.
3. Set Age
The display defaults to Age 30 (range of user age is between 7-99). An
arrow icon appears on the lower left side to indicate Age setting. Use the
Up/Down buttons to scroll through numbers. When you reach your age,
press the Set button. The unit will beep once to confirm.
4. Select Female or Male
Use the Up/Down buttons to scroll through Female (
Female/Athlete and Male/Athlete settings, then press the Set button. The
unit will beep once to confirm.
5. Specify the Height
The display defaults to 5' 7.0" (170cm) (range of user is from 3' 4.0" – 7'
3.0" or 100cm – 220cm). Use the Up/Down buttons to specify Height and
then press the Set button.
The unit will beep twice and the display will flash all data (Male/Female,
Age, Height, etc.) three times to confirm the programming. The power will
then shut down automatically.

GETTING ACCURATE READINGS

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.

Note: An accurate reading will not be possible if
the soles of your feet are not clean, or if your
knees are bent or you are in a sitting position.

TAKING WEIGHT AND BODY FAT READINGS

1. Select Personal Key and Step On
Press your pre-programmed Personal key.
(Release the key within 3 seconds or the display will show "Err".)
The unit will beep and the display will show the programmed date.
The unit will beep again and the display will show "0.0".
Now step onto the platform.
Note: If you step onto the platform before "0.0" appears the display will show "Err" and you
will not obtain a reading. Furthermore, if you do not step onto the measuring platform
within about 60 seconds after "0.0" appears, the power is shut-off automatically.
2. Get Your Readings
Your weight will be shown first.
Continue to stand on the platform.
"54321" will appear on the display and disappear one by one from right to left.
The readings will be shown alternately 3 times as follows:
Weight / Body fat percentage
Note:Do not step off until Body Fat % is shown.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR READING

Healthy Range Indicator (Standard Adults only*)
Your body fat monitor/scale automatically compares your body fat reading to
the Healthy Body Fat Range chart.
Following your body fat percentage reading, a black bar will flash along the
bottom of the display, identifying where you fall within the Body Fat Ranges
for your age and gender. For example, if the squares appear above (0) area
your range is within the Healthy Range – if they appear over (-) area, your
reading is below the Healthy Range. For more about the Healthy Range, see
page 2.
: Underfat; below the healthy body fat range. Increased risk for health problems.
(-)
(0)
: Healthy; within the healthy body fat percentage range for your age/gender.
(+)
: Overfat; above the healthy range. Increased risk for health problems.
(++) : Obese; high above the healthy body fat range. Greatly increased risk of obesity-related health problems.
