Caution
Prohibited
Stand clear of the subject during measurement to avoid electric shock and ensure accuracy.
The magnet of the impedance meter may cause corruption of data on devices such as floppy disks and
USB memory sticks if these are placed near the equipment.
Another person must perform measurements for persons with disabilities that impair their ability
to do so alone.
Interpretation of analysis results (e.g. evaluation of measurements and formulation of
exercise programmes based on results) must be performed by a professional.
Weight loss measures and exercise based on self-analysis could be detrimental to you health. Always
follow the advice of a qualified professional.
This equipment is designated a Class B IT device (mainly for systems intended to be used in domestic
environments) and is CE (EMC) certified, but it may affect devices that are sensitive to electromagnetic waves.
If connecting a computer or peripheral devices to this equipment, please use devices complying with
IEC60601-1 (EN60601-1). Power must be supplied from a medical isolation transformer for
IEC60950(EN60950) devices. Keep a distance of 1.5m between units during operation. Failure to do so
may cause electric shock to subjects or malfunction.
Continually monitor both the subject and the equipment for anomalies.
If an anomaly in the subject or equipment is discovered,take appropriate action, such as stopping the
equipment, while ensuring the safety of the subject.

For Accurate Measurements
Before Use
(cautions for safety)
Avoid measuring after strenuous exercise.
Avoid measuring in multiple locations with greatly differing temperatures.
This may cause inaccurate measurements. Please take measurements after sufficient rest.
Use in a stable location.
Errors in measurements may occur if the device is used in an unstable location.
Avoid measuring after excessive food or fluid intake or when dehydrated.
Ensure that your arms are not touching your sides and that your inner thighs are not touching each other
during measurement. If necessary, place a dry towel between your arm and side and/or between your
thighs.
Do not take measurements while using transmitting devices, such as mobile phones, which
may affect readings.
Make sure the soles of your feet are free of excess dirt, as this may block the mild electric current.
Always hold both arms straight down when taking measurements to prevent measurement errors such
as undermeasurement of body fat.
Bare feet should be placed correctly on the electrode platform.
Place arms straight down during measurement.
This may cause inaccurate measurements. For greater accuracy, avoid using directly after waking
up. Use at the same time on each occasion, at least three hours after a meal.
Use the equipment under the same conditions and in the same position as much as
possible for accurate tracking of changes.
Readings are greatly affected by the level of hydration and position of the body. Please use at the
same time of day each time, under the same conditions and in the same body position.
This may cause inaccurate measurements. Allow the equipment to stand for at least 2 hours
before using if it is moved to a new location with a temperature difference of 20°C or more.
