For Your Safety
To ensure accuracy, readings should be taken without clothing and under consistent conditions of hydration. Always remove your
socks or stockings, and be sure the soles of your feet are clean before stepping on the measuring platform. Be sure that the arch of
each foot is aligned with the center of the measuring platform. Don’t worry if your feet appear too large for the unit, accurate readings
can still be obtained if your toes overhang the platform. It is best to take readings at the same time of day. Try to wait about two hours
after getting up, eating, or strenuous exercise before taking measurements. While readings taken under other conditions may not have
the same absolute values, they are accurate for determining the percentage change as long as the readings are taken in a consistent
manner. To monitor your progress, compare your weight and body fat percentage readings taken under the same conditions over a
period of time.
Note: An accurate reading will not be possible if the soles of your feet are not clean, if your knees are bent or if you are sitting down.
