INDICATIONS FOR USE

The Body Fat Analyzer measures weight and uses bio-electrical impedance analysis (BIA) technology
to estimate body fat, total body water percentage, bone mass, and muscle mass in generally healthy
children 10-17 years old and healthy adults. It is intended for use in the domestic setting only.

Tips

To ensure the accuracy of measurement, please follow below instructions when you start

measurement.

- Place the scale on a at, hard surface. Soft surface such as carpet will affect the performance of the scale.

- Step onto the platform with bare feet. Stand still and keep full contact with the electrodes until the
measurement is complete.

- Start measurement at least two hours after Getting up or Dinning.

- Avoid measurement immediately after strenuous exercise, sauna or bath, drinking, and dinning.

- Always start measurement in the same time slot and on the same scale located on the same at, hard

surface.

- For maximum accuracy and repeatability , it is recommended that you should use the device in the
same time of the day and on the same location.

- The condition of the skin on the bottom of your feet can affect the reading. The natural effects of aging
or activity can make this skin hard. Take the reading with clean, slightly damp feet for best accuracy. If
you are having a problem on operating this scale please contact customer service.

- Body fat percentage estimates will vary with the amount of water in the body, and can be affected by
dehydration or over-hydration due to such factors as alcohol consumption, menstruation, illness, intense
exercise, etc.

General Instructions

Glass Body Fat Analyzer applies BIA (Bio-impedance Analysis)

technology. A small amount of weak current ows through the human body so as to detect the bio-

impedance and estimate body fat. The electrical current is small and may not be felt.
This BIA technology is cheap, safe, non-invasive, toxic-free and harmless. It also possesses the
characteristics of simple operation and abundant information.
The current mentioned above is less than 0.5mA. However, please be aware that anyone with an wearable
or implantable medical electronic instrument, such as a pacemaker, must avoid using this device.
The intended use of this device is for healthy children 10-17 years old and healthy adults.

Insert the Batteries

Open the battery door in the back of the scale.

Insert the batteries (4 x 1.5VAAA) into the battery compartment according to the polarity
indications
marked inside the compartment.
* The digits “8888” will be shown on the LCD.

Close the battery door and wait until the digits “00” are shown on the LCD.

When the symbol appears, the device will power off. Then you shall replace with a new set of
batteries. Please replace all four batteries at the same time. Do NOT mix the old batteries with the new one.
Worn batteries are hazardous waste. Do NOT dispose of them together with the household garbage.
Please refer to the local ordinances and recycling instructions regarding disposal of the worn batteries
and scrapped device.
