PREPARATIONS BEFORE USE

Inserting the Batteries

Please note that the included batteries from factory may have decreased energy levels over time.

Positioning the Monitor

Place the measuring platform on a hard, flat surface where there is minimal vibration to ensure safe and accurate measurement.

Note: To avoid possible injury, do not step on the edge of the platform.

Handling Tips

This monitor is a precision instrument utilizing state-of-the-art technology.
To keep the unit in the test condition, follow these instructions carefully:
- Do not attempt to disassemble the measuring platform.
- Store the unit horizontally, and place it so that the buttons will not be pressed accidentally.
- Avoid excessive impact or vibration to the unit.
- Place the unit in an area free from direct sunlight, heating equipment, high humidity, or extreme temperature change.
- Never submerge in water. Use alcohol to clean the electrodes and glass cleaner (applied to a cloth first) to keep them shiny, avoid scraps.
- Do not step on the platform when wet.
-Do not drop any objects onto the platform.
Do not carry the unit by holding the hand electrodes.
Do not release the hand-electrodes until the cable is completely retracted into the unit.

GETTING ACCURATE READINGS

Heels containing Toss may overwelling electrodes measuring platform

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.

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 sizes 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 everhang 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.

AUTOMATIC SHUT-DOWN FUNCTION

The automatic shul-down function shuls off the power automatically in the following cases.
