MEASUREMENT INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Launch the iHealth App. Step on the Scale to turn it on and wait until "0.0" appears on the display.
    MEASUREMENT INSTRUCTIONS - Step 1
  2. Stand on all four electrodes with bare feet. Your weight data will appear on the Scale display first, followed by Body Fat %. Remain on the scale for a few seconds to allow the scale to continue the measurement. If you have socks on, the Scale will only display your weight.
    MEASUREMENT INSTRUCTIONS - Step 2

The iHealth App will show detailed body composition data including Weight, BMI, Body Fat, Lean Mass, Body Water Percentage, Muscle Mass, Bone Mass, Visceral Fat Rating and Daily Calorie Intake (DCI).
Note: If the Body Fat measurement fails, only your weight will be displayed.
MEASUREMENT INSTRUCTIONS - Step 3

Taking Measurements Without iOS Device
Up to 20 people can use the Scale. The Scale determines who the user is by matching the new weight with weight previously recorded. If the weight of two or more users is similar, the Scale will display the user number (e.g. User # "x"). Step lightly on the lower left corner to select the appropriate user, and then step lightly on the lower right corner to confirm. When taking measurements without an iOS device, your current measurement data will be uploaded to the Cloud automatically.
MEASUREMENT INSTRUCTIONS - Step 4

Offline Memory

The Scale can store up to 200 weight results for each user. When each user's memory is full, any new measurements will overwrite the oldest ones.

Automatic Shutdown Feature

The Scale shuts down automatically after 2 minutes following completion of the measurement. If a new measurement is started or any App operation is performed during this time, such as uploading the memory contents of the Scale to an iOS device, the shutdown timer will be reset to 2 minutes.
