WHAT DOES MY BMI VALUE MEAN?

Body Mass Index (BMI) is an index of weight-for-height that is commonly used to classify underweight, overweight and obesity in adults. This scale calculates your BMI value for you. The BMI categories shown in the chart and table below are recognized by the WHO (World Health Organization) and can be used to interpret your BMI value.

Your BMI category can be identified using the table below.

If the chart/table shows that you are outside of a 'normal' healthy weight range, consult your doctor before taking any action. BMI classifications are for adults (age 20+ years) only.

ADVICE FOR USE AND CARE

Always weigh yourself on the same scale placed on the same floor surface. Do not compare weight readings from one scale to another as some differences will exist due to manufacturing tolerances

• Placing your scale on a hard, even floor will ensure the greatest accuracy and repeatability
• Weigh yourself at the same time each day, before meals and without footwear. First thing in the morning is a good time
• Your scale rounds up or down to the nearest increment. If you weigh yourself twice and get two different readings, your weight lies between the two
• Clean your scale with a damp cloth. Do not use chemical cleaning agents
• Do not allow your scale to become saturated with water as this can damage the electronics
• Treat your scale with care - it is a precision instrument. Do not drop it or jump on it
• 
  the platform may become slippery when wet.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

If you experience any difficulty in the use of your scale:

• Check the battery is correctly fitted
• Check that you have selected your preference of stones/pounds, kilograms or pounds
• Check that the scale is on a flat, level floor and not touching against a wall
• Repeat the 'Initialisation' procedure every time the scale is moved
• If when you use the scale there is no display at all or if 'LO' is displayed - try a new battery
• If 'ERR' is displayed the scale has been overloaded.
