Note:
Due to the significant fluctuation of body fat, it is difficult to
attain a standard value. On average the optimal testing time
is between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m, since the body fat remains very
consistent during this period of time.

Weighing Function
• Place the scale on a hard, flat surface (avoid carpets). An
uneven floor contributes to inaccurate measurements.
• On the back side of the scale beside the battery compart-
ment a switch can be found. Choose between the measur-
ing units "kg" and "lb" (pound).
• Turn on the scale by pressing the ON button.
• The scale and the display conduct a self-test (8888). Shortly
afterward the digits "0.0" (kg) (0.0 lb) will appear.
• Stand with both feet on the contact surfaces (6) of the
device. Distribute your weight equally and wait for the scale
to determine your weight.
• The digits on the display will flash before your exact weight
will be shown.
• In order to extend the battery life, the device will automati-
cally turn off 10 seconds after you have stepped off the
scale.
