AUTOMATIC SHUT-DOWN FUNCTION

The automatic shut-down function shuts off the power automatically in the following cases:

GETTING ACCURATE READINGS

Heels centered on electrodes
Toes may overhang measuring
platform
You can change the weight unit by using the button on the back of the scale as shown.
Note: If weight mode is set to pounds or stone-pounds, the height programming mode will be
automatically set to feet and inches.
Similarly, if kilograms is selected, height will be automatically set to "cm".
To ensure accuracy, readings should be taken without clothing and under consistent conditions
of hydration. If you do not undress, always remove your socks or stockings, and be sure the
soles of your feet are clean before stepping on the measuring platform.
Be sure that your heels are correctly aligned with the electrodes on the measuring platform.
Don't worry if your feet appear too large for the unit - accurate readings can still be obtained if
your toes overhang the platform.
It is best to take readings at the same time of day. Try to wait about three hours after rising,
eating, or hard exercise before taking measurements.
While readings taken under other conditions may not have the same absolute values, they
are accurate for determining the percentage of change as long as the readings are taken in a
consistent manner. To monitor progress, compare weight and body fat percentage taken under
the same conditions over a period of time.
Note: An accurate reading will not be possible if the soles of your feet are not clean, or if your
knees are bent or you are in a sitting position.
