Glass Scale
Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of a high-quality Insignia product. Your NS-GLSBFSCW1 represents the state of the art in Glass Scale/Body Fat Analyzer design and is designed for reliable and trouble-free performance.
This scale/body fat analyzer offers you a seamless way to manage your health. It 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 home use only.
Using BIA (Bio-Impedance Analysis) technology, your NS-GLSBFSCW1 introduces a weak current (.5 mA - too small to be felt) that passes through the body. By measuring this current, this device is able to estimate body fat, body water, muscle mass, and bone mass. BIA technology is safe, non-invasive, toxin-free, and harmless. It’s also simple to use and provides a great deal of information.
CAUTION: Be aware that even though the current used by this device is very small, anyone with a wearable or implanted medical electronic instrument, such as a pacemaker, must avoid using this device.
Important Safety Instructions
Before using your scale, always follow basic precautions, including the following:

Suggestions for best results
To ensure the accuracy and consistency of measurement, we suggest that you follow these instructions each time you take a measurement.
•Place the scale on a flat, hard surface. Soft surfaces, such as carpet, affect the performance of the scale.
•Step onto the scale barefoot. Stand still and keep full contact with the electrodes until the measurement is complete.
•Take measurements at least two hours after getting up or dining.
•Avoid measurements immediately after strenuous exercise, sauna or bath, drinking, or dinning.
•Always start measurements during the same time period, using the same scale, located on the same flat, hard surface.
•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 have problems operating this scale, contact customer service.
•Body fat percentage estimates can vary with the amount of water in your body, which can be affected by dehydration or over-hydration due to such factors as alcohol consumption, menstruation, illness, intense exercise, and similar factors.
