Positioning the Monitor
Place the measuring platform on a hard, flat surface where there is minimal vibration to ensure
safe and accurate measurement.
Note: T o avoid possible injury, do not step on the edge of the platform.
Handling Tips
This monitor is a precision instrument utilising state-of-the-art technology.
To keep the unit in the best condition, please follow these instructions carefully:
• Do not attempt to disassemble the measuring platform.
• Store the unit horizontally, and place it so that the buttons will not be pressed accidentally.
• Avoid excessive impact or vibration to the unit.
• Place the unit in an area free from direct sunlight, heating equipment, high humidity, or extreme temperature change.
• Never submerge in water. Use alcohol to clean the electrodes and glass cleaner (applied to a cloth first) to keep them shiny; avoid
using soaps.
• Do not step on the platform with wet feet.
• Do not drop any objects onto the platform.

Note: A n 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.
AUTOMATIC SHUT-DOWN FUNCTION
The automatic shut-down function shuts off the power automatically in the following cases:
• If you interrupt the measurement process. The power will shut down automatically within 10 to 20 seconds,・depending upon the
type of operation.
• If an extreme weight is applied to the platform.
• During programming, if you do not touch any of the buttons within 60 seconds.*
• After you have completed the measuring process.
*Note: If the power shuts off automatically, repeat the steps from "Setting and Storing Personal Data in Memory" (p.3).

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 onto the measuring platform.
Be sure 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 exercising 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.
