How to Measure Correctly
For Accurate Measurements
Avoid measuring after hard exercise.
May result in measurement errors. Please take measurements after sufficient rest.
Avoid measuring after over-eating or over-drinking, and when severely
dehydrated.
May result in measurement errors. For greater accuracy, avoid using directly after
waking up. Use at the same time on each occasion, at least three hours after eating.
Prohibited
Do not take measurements while using transmitters, such as mobile phones, which may
affect readings.
Use the device under the same conditions and in the same position as
much as possible to track changes.
Readings are greatly affected by the level of hydration and position of the body.
Please use at the same time each day, under the same conditions and in the same
body position.
Avoid measuring in locations of greatly differing temperature.
May result in measurement errors. When the equipment has been moved to a
location ±20ºC (±36˚F), allow to stand for at least 2 hours before using.
Always...
Bare feet should be placed correctly on the electrode panel for measurement.
Also, make sure the soles of feet are free of excess dirt, as this may also act as a barrier to
the mild current.
Use in a stable location.
Errors in measurements may occur when the device is used in an unstable location.
