Notes: The scale is intended for household use only. The scale should be placed on a solid, non-skid and level surface (avoid carpet). The remote control should be mounted or be stuck firmly onto the surface vertically to and directly above the scale. The optimum position of scale is 30cm away from the surface where the remote control is mounted or is stuck to. There should be no obstacle between the two apparatus because the infrared signal can only be transferred in a straight line; otherwise no results will be provided. The recommended maximum distance between the two apparatus is 1.6 metres. The optimum operating temperature is 20°C / +/- 10 °C Step on the scale only when the display shows zero after switching on. Make sure that measurement is done in barefoot, otherwise results cannot be displayed or will not be accurate. Since the weight and body fat percentage can fluctuate during a single day; it is recommended that weighing should be done before meals to obtain comparable results. First thing in the morning is the best time for weighing. Do not compare measurement made with another scale since there could be differences due toPage 18 of 32 manufacturing tolerances. Inserting/ Changing Batteries: The battery compartments of the scale and the remote control are both situated on the back. Before the first use, open the battery compartments of both the scale and the remote control and insert four new “AAA” batteries and two new “AAA” batteries respectively in the right polarity. When “ ” or “ ” displays on the screen, it means the batteries of the remote control or of the scale are almost exhausted respectively. Please replace with new batteries. If the figures appear and remain unchanged on the display, re-insert the batteries and restart the scale. Important: When you change your batteries, be careful!!! You must dispose the batteries according to the regulations. Dispose them in an appropriate place in order to assure their recycling and the protection of the environment.

Fat functions to protect our organs, storing vitamins and energy and regulate our body temperature. You can only understand your real fitness level by knowing your body fat content. Depending on the age and gender, different body fat contents are considered to be healthy.

Water plays a vital role in nearly every function of the body. It helps to regulate body temperature, to carry nutrients throughout the body, to moisturize and purify the skin, to improve the digestive process, to eliminate waste, to lubricate and cushion joints and so on… Lack of water may cause a concentration build-up of toxins in the body fluid.
