UNDERSTANDING YOUR READING
Healthy Range Indicator
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.
(-) : Underfat; below the healthy body fat range. Increased risk for health problems.
: Healthy; within the healthy body fat percentage range for your age/gender.
(0)
(+) : Overfat; above the healthy range. Increased risk for health problems.
(++) : Obese; high above the healthy body fat range. Greatly increased risk of obesity-related health problems.
