 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.

The battery compartments of the scale and the remote control are both situated on the back. Before the first use,

It is essential to understand that our body fat is not harmful. It is the excess in body fat that causes many of the healthPage 20 of 32

problems. 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. The figure below is intended as a reference for your personal fitness

profile only, if any doubt, please seek medical advice:

Water is the second most important nutrient, besides oxygen, that the body needs in order to function. 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. Depending on age and gender,

different body water content is considered to be healthy. The figure below is intended as a reference for your personal
