OPERATING THE DEVICE

This monitor cannot be used with a cardiac pacemaker or other implanted medical devices. The Body Composition MONITOR with Scale passes an extremely weak electrical current of 50kHz and less than 500￿A through your body when taking a measurement to determine the amount of fat tissue. This weak current is not felt while using the monitor. Do not use, or allow others to use, this monitor if fitted with a cardiac pacemaker or other medical device.

Contact your physician or healthcare provider before beginning a weight reduction or exercise program.

Keep the monitor out of the reach of young children. Cord can become entangled and cause strangulation. Persons with disabilities or persons that are physically frail should be assisted by another person when using this monitor or use a handrail, a walker, or other support device to prevent falling when stepping on and off the monitor.

Read all of the information in the instruction manual and any other literature in the box before operating the unit.

Do not use mobile telephones, microwave and other devices that generate strong electrical or electromagnetic fields near the monitor. This may result in an operational failure.

Do not step on the edge or the display area of the measurement platform. The monitor may tilt. The display unit may be damaged.

Do not step on the measurement platform when your body or feet are wet, for example after taking a bath or shower. You may slide and lose your balance.

Do not place the monitor on a cushioned floor surface such as a carpet or mat. A correct measurement may not be possible.

Do not use the unit on slippery surfaces such as tile floors or wet floors. A monitor may move. You may lose your balance and fall.

Do not jump on the measurement platform. You may lose your balance and fall. The monitor may be damaged.

Stand on the measurement platform with bare feet. Attempting to stand on the measurement platform when wearing socks may cause you to slip and lose your balance.
