UNDERSTANDING YOUR READING

Healthy Range Indicator (Standard Adults only*)
Your body fat monitor/scale automatically compares your body fat reading to
the Healthy Body Fat Range chart.
Following your body fat percentage reading, a black bar will flash along the
bottom of the display, identifying where you fall within the Body Fat Ranges
for your age and gender. For example, if the squares appear above (0) area
your range is within the Healthy Range – if they appear over (-) area, your
reading is below the Healthy Range. For more about the Healthy Range, see
page 2.
