RESET
The RESET hole is used whenever the product is not performing as expected (such as when the Remote Monitor cannot detect the Scale) or when new batteries are inserted. This will return the settings to default values.
Both the Scale and Remote Monitor have RESET holes located inside the Battery Compartment. Use a blunt stylus such as a paper clip to press into the hole.
The stored time information will be erased when the RESET hole is pressed on the Remote Monitor. All other values, such as date and month, will not be affected.
How the Body Fat Monitor
Works
When you step on the scale, a weight measurement is taken. The GR101 can also help you to automatically calculate your Body mass index (BMI) and Body Fat Percentage, two internationally accepted indicators of health and obesity levels.
Weight alone is not a good enough indicator of health because it does not differentiate between muscles, tissues, bones, and fat. As such, when a person loses weight, it may be a result of the loss of muscles or body water but not fat. In order to better understand your body composition and current health level, both the BMI and Body Fat Percentage should be observed.
Neither the BMI nor the Body Fat Percentage, taken individually, gives the complete picture of your health. For example, bodybuilders often have high BMI (considered obese) but low Body Fat Percentage (considered healthy). The BMI, in this case, does not take into account that the extra weight is from muscles and water but not fat. Conversely, a very thin person may have low Body Fat Percentage (considered healthy) but also
Consult your physician before you begin a new diet or exercise program.
BODY MASS INDEX
What is Body Mass Index (BMI)?
Body mass index (BMI) is a widely used international standard that measures height to weight ratio to determine obesity. BMI is expressed by the following terms:
BMI = Body weight (kg) [Body height (m)]2
The BMI is only a general indicator of your health level. As such, accuracies may vary depending on your body type and composition. Consult your physician to find out more about your current health.
Refer to WEIGHT CONVERSION TABLE to convert between weight units.
