*Gender, body type, height and age must be entered.

*Once all the necessary items of data have been entered, the unit will determine on the basis of age and gender whether to switch to Athlete or Standard mode. Hence even if you choose Athlete mode, the unit may switch to Standard mode.

*If starting in Weight Only mode, only tare weight needs to be set.
