FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS

PREPARATIONS BEFORE USE

Accessories AAA-Size Batteries (4) Open as shown.Direction of the batteries. Ball-of-Foot Electrodes Weight Mode Button Battery Box Display Screen Heel Electrodes Battery Cover SET/PAST Button Down/RESULT Button OFF/Weight-Only Button Up/USER Button Front Back3 The automatic shut-down function shuts off the power automatically in the following cases:

• If you interrupt the measurement process. The power will shut down automatically within 30 seconds, depending upon the type of operation.

• During programming, if you do not touch any of the keys or buttons within 60 seconds.

• After you have completed the measuring process. 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. You can change the weight unit by using the button on the back of the scale. Press the Weight-only button when the display is blank.
