Taking Measurements; Evaluating Results - CVS Health BF 720 Instructions For Use Manual

6. Taking Measurements

NOTE: Do not let your feet, legs, calves or thighs touch each other. Otherwise, the measurement cannot
be taken correctly. The measurement will also be incorrect if taken while you are wearing socks.
1. Step onto the scale with bare feet; stand still with your weight distributed evenly on both sets of
sensors.
2. The scale first displays the weight. If you are barefoot, additional diagnostics will follow.
3. If a user is assigned, the user ID displayed in the bottom left corner of the LCD Display; afterwards,
the BMI, body fat (BF), water, muscle percentage, bone mass, BMR, and AMR are displayed.
The following appears:
1. Weight with BMI
2. Body fat in % (BF)
3. Body water in %
4. Muscle percentage in %
5. Bone mass
6. Basal metabolic rate in kcal (BMR)
7. Active metabolic rate in kcal (AMR)
If the user is not recognized, only the weight is shown and "---" appears in the User ID area of the LCD
Display.
Weight Measurement Only
Step on the scale wearing shoes. Stand still with your weight distributed equally on both feet. The scale
will display your weight after a few seconds. If a stored user is recognized, their BMI, BMR, and AMR are
also displayed along with their initials.
NOTE: Other diagnostic values cannot be calculated if user is wearing shoes.
The scale will shut off by itself after a few moments of inactivity.
