Usage Guide:
• Remember to use the scale with bare feet in order
for the BIA function to work correctly.
• Use the Scale to measure your progress only. Don’t
compare your body fat percentage to anyone else’s
score.
• Measure out and drink some water one hour before
you test yourself. Make sure you always drink the
same amount of water one hour before you test
yourself.
• Measure yourself at the same time of day for
each test. Your skin temperature affects the
electrical current used by the scale. It’s difficult but
try to test yourself in a similar room temperature
each time.
• Don’t test yourself after exercising. When you
exercise you sweat and when you sweat you lose
water. This affects your hydration levels and
therefore the results.
• Thoroughly clean the foot pads, preferably with
alcohol and then dry them off each time you test.
Personal Safety:
• Do not use the appliance with wet feet.
• Always use the appliance with bare feet - remove
any socks or shoes.
Measuring Water, Bone and Muscle:
• Gently press the surface of the scale with your
foot to switch it on.
• Press the Set button and use Up/down button to
find the memory number under which you wish to
save your personal data (10 memories available
P01-P10). Then press the Set button to confirm
your choice.
• Select male or female by using up/down buttons
and confirming by pressing Set button.
• Log in your age using the up/down buttons and
confirming by using Set button.
• Log in your height using the up/down buttons
and confirming by using Set button. Note you can
also use the unit selector button under the scale
to select height measure (inches/centimetre).
These steps can be repeated to program the
remaining 9 memories if desired.
• Once you have set your profile, press the “set”
button and select your profile. Your saved data
will briefly flash onto the screen of the scale.
• Place down the scale and place your body at the
centre on top of the metal sensors. Remember to
be bare feet.
• Remain still on the scale while the scale is
calculating. The scale will show flashing “000”
while busy calculating. Once done, the scale will
flash results in the following sequence:
• Body Fat %, Body Water % (Hydration), Bone %
and Muscle %. See below the icons displayed on
the scale. The results will repeatedly flash 3 times
Calculating Percentage Body Fat:
• This appliance has the built-in option to calculate
the percentage of your body fat by using
bioelectrical impedance techniques.
• This analysis measures the different conductivity
between the muscle mass and body mass formed
by fat cells using very low-intensity electrical micro
current that runs through the lower members of the
body.
• The percentage body weight is calculated using
the procedure described above and also involves
the following variables: height, age, gender and
weight.
• Optimum results according to standards generally
applied to adults:
• Men: 14 –24%
• Women: 20 –30%
• Any results below these indicators are
considered underweight and higher than these is
considered overweight.
• In the event of doubt, consult your doctor or
pharmacist for clarification.
