HOW DOES TRANSTEK'S BODY FAT ANALYZER

WORK?

This Glass body fat analyzer uses BIA (Bio Impedance Analysis) technology which passes
an electrical current through the body to estimate body fat mass, lean mass, total body
water and bone mass. The electrical current is small and may not be felt. Contact with the
body is made via stainless steel pads on the platform of the scale.

NOTE: This device is a personal monitor and should be used in a consistent
manner for the most accurate reading. While readings of this analyzer might be different
with that of others (hydro-densitometry or hand held calipers), your changes in body fat
percentage shown by this device will be reflected accurately.
While this analyzer will work accurately as a scale for anyone and give accurate body fat
readings for a majority of people, it is not intended for being used by pregnant women or
children under the age of 18.

BODY FAT-WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

Human body is made up of, amongst other things, a percentage of fat. Body fat is vital
for a healthy, functioning body, protects vital organs, helps regulate body temperature,
stores vitamins and helps the body sustain itself when food is scarce. However, too much
body fat or indeed too little body fat will damage to your health. It is difficult to gauge how
much body fat we have in our bodies simply by looking at ourselves in the mirror.

This is why it is important to measure and monitor your body fat percentage. Body fat
percentage gives you a better measure of fitness than weight alone–the composition of
your weight loss could mean you are losing muscle mass rather than fat-you could still
have a high percentage of fat even when a scale indicates‘normal weight’.

BASAL METABOLISM- WHY SHOULD I KNOW IT?

Basal metabolism refers to the life activities do not exercise at a quiet state of the body
maintains its own life activities required energy consumption.We recommend that the
general energy consumption by basal metabolism + diet process + the required energy of
growth or development children or pregnant women+ physical activity. Among them, the
basal metabolism accounts for a large part (about 60% -75%).Excessive intake of
energy,excess energy will be converted to fat accumulation in the body.Therefore measure
your basal metabolism, you can estimate your daily energy consumption is about how
much. The normal daily intake of energy, at least not lower than the basal metabolic
energy, otherwise there will be life-threatening.

BATTERY INFORMATION AND GENERAL

SET-UP PROCEDURE

This scale operates on 4*AAA batteries (installed).
Please remove any plastic strips from the battery compartment before
continuing with these instructions.

Some models have a static cling label on the lens to prevent scratching.
Please remove it before use.

Remove batteries if the device is not likely to be used for some time.
The old battery is harmful to the environment, so please disposal with
other daily trash.
Remove the old battery from the device and follow your local
recycling guidelines.

Tap to initialize

When the LCD displays “ ”, replace the batteries with the “+” signs up.
Replace both worn batteries at the same time; do not combine old and new
batteries.

The scale needs to be initialized before first use or after battery
replacement. Press firmly on the scale platform. The display will show a running

zeros pattern and automatically turn off. Your scale is now ready for use.

USING YOUR ANALYZER SCALE

In order to measure body fat, you must first enter your height, age, gender and
activity level selection. The analyzer uses these parameter to calculate your
measurement results.

You m u st h ave feet bared t o use t he an alyzer fu n ct i on .
Remove your shoes and socks before beginning measurement. In order to get

the most accurate and consistent reading, wipe your feet with a damp cloth,
leaving them slightly damp before stepping on to the scale.

REMINDER: The scale needs to be initialized after battery installation. The
scale may also need to be initialized if it is moved or bumped. At all other

times, you may directly proceed with the following instructions for
programming your personal data into the scale.

To initialize the scale, simply press firmly on the scale platform. The display
will show “ ” and automatically turn off. Your scale is now ready for use.
NOTE: Please use the illustrations as guidelines only. Due to continuous
product improvements, the illustrations shown in this manual may differ
slightly from the actual display.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

How exactly is my body fat being measured?

The TRANSTEK Glass Body Fat Analyzer uses a measurement method known as Bioelectri­cal Impedance Analysis (BIA).A minute current is sent through your body, via your feet and
legs. This current flows easily through the lean muscular tissue, which has a high fluid
content, but not easily through fat.Therefore, by measuring your body’s
impedance (i.e. its resistance to the current), the quantity of muscle can be determined, from
which, the quantity of fat can then be estimated.

What is the value of the current passing through me when the measurement
is taken? Is it safe?

The current is less than 1mA. You may not be able to feel it. Please note however,
that this device should not be used by anyone with an internal electronic medical
device, such as a pacemaker, as a precaution against disruption to that device.

TROUBLESHOOTING

1. You must have feet bared to take this measurement. In order to get the most accurate
and consistent reading, wipe your feet with a damp cloth, leaving them slightly damp
before stepping on the scale. Repeat measurement again, maintaining maximum contact
between your feet and the metal sensors.

2. 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.
