Quantum Manual
Thank you for purchasing the American Weigh Quantum
Body Fat Scale. Please read all operating instructions
carefully before use. Scales are precision instruments and
should always be handled with proper care. This device is
intended for home use.
Special Note on Body Fat Analysis
The Quantum body fat scale uses bioelectrical impedance
analysis (BIA) to calculate body fat %. This technology
works by measuring the resistance (impedance) of small
electrical currents through the body. When the user’s
height and body impedance are known, the scale can
accurately determine total body water (TBW) and fat-free
mass (FFM). Fat-free mass is then subtracted from your
total body weight to obtain your body fat mass.
This scale should be used while barefooted. Measurement
errors can arise if weighing while wearing socks or
pantyhose. To avoid slipping, do not step on the scale with
wet feet. Do not use the scale on carpet.
Although BIA method uses a safe, low level of electrical
current, users with pacemakers or other electric
medical devices or implants should not operate this
scale.
