SAFETY AND CAUTION
Please read these instructions carefully to familiarize yourself with the features
and operation of this unit before using.
IMPORTANT
This scale is NOT intended to be used by pregnant women. The result is inaccurate
and the effects on the fetus are unknown.
INTENDED USE
This scale is intended to measure body weight, impedance and estimate percentage
of body fat and body water, bone mass and muscle mass using BIA (Bioelectrical
Impedance Analysis). It is intended for use by healthy children 10-17 years old
and healthy adults with active, moderately active, to inactive lifestyles for body
composition assessment in the home environment. For body fat and body water
estimates, always estimate in bare feet.
BATTERY PRECAUTIONS
Dispose of old batteries properly. Do not dispose of old batteries in a fire.
Do not leave batteries lying around where a young child or pet could play with
or swallow them. If the batteries are swallowed, contact a physician immediately.
Batteries may explode if mistreated. Do not attempt to recharge or disassemble
the batteries.
Use only fresh batteries of required size and type. Do not mix old and new batteries,

remove the battery before storing.
CHANGING MEASURING UNITS
You may choose between pounds and kilograms to measure your weight.
Using the tip of an unfolded paperclip, slide the Kg/Lb SWITCH, located on the
back of the scale, to the unit of measurement of your choice.

Press the MODE button to enter the body fat and body water estimation mode.
The height display blinks. Using the UP and DOWN buttons, scroll to your height.
Press the MODE button to confirm.
2. Set Age
After the height is confirmed, the age display blinks. Using the UP and DOWN
buttons, scroll to your age and press MODE to confirm.

R icon will show on
the LCD DISPLAY to indicate the scale is ready for use.
Note: The Normal/Athlete step is automatically bypassed for people under
18 years of age (see page 12 for explanation).
WEIGHING/ESTIMATING BODY FAT/BODY WATER
Step on the scale in bare feet, placing each foot directly over the
12 ELECTRODES with the heels and balls of your feet. The LCD DISPLAY
will show your weight for approximately 2 seconds. Stay on the scale.
The scale then begins to estimate your percentage of Body Fat, Total Body
Water, Muscle Mass and Bone Mass. The LCD DISPLAY will show each
estimation in order while computing.
A “beep” tone sounds when the computing is done. Continue to stay on the
scale and the percentage of Body Fat, Total Body Water, Muscle Mass and
Bone Mass will be displayed for 2 seconds sequentially a total of 3 times.
