For Accurate Measurements
Avoid measuring after strenuous exercise.
This may cause inaccurate measurements. Please take measurements after
sufficient rest.
Avoid measuring after over-eating or over-drinking, or when severely
dehydrated.
This may cause inaccurate measurements. For greater accuracy, avoid
using directly after waking up. Use at the same time of day each time, at
least three hours after the last meal.
Prohibited
Ensure arms are not touching sides and inner thighs are not touching each other during
measurement. If necessary, place a dry towel between arm and side and/or between thighs.
Do not take measurements while using transmitting devices such as mobile phones, as
these may affect readings.
Use the equipment under the same conditions and in the same posi-
tion as much as possible for accurate tracking of changes.
Readings are affected by the level of hydration and position of the body.
Please use at the same time of day each time, under the same conditions
and in the same body position.
Avoid measuring in multiple locations with greatly differing
temperatures.
This may cause inaccurate measurements. Allow the equipment to stand
for at least 2 hours before using if it is moved to a new location with a
temperature difference of ±68˚F/±20˚C or more.
Make sure the soles of the feet are free of excess dirt, as this may block the mild electric
Required
current.
Always take measurements with both arms straight down to prevent measurement errors
such as underestimation of body fat.
Feet should be bare and placed correctly on the electrode platform. Arms should be straight
down during measurement.
Use in a stable location.
Errors in measurements may occur if the device is used in an unstable location.
