Estimating Relative Fat Distribution

In addition to estimating percent body fat, a relative body fat estimation on other sites of the body (e.g. quadriceps, abdominal region) can be obtained using the FUTREX-5500A/WL.

1)Turn Power Switch ON.

The display will show a software version number (e.g. 7.30) and will then start a 15 second countdown. The display will show “Sd”.

2)Insert Light Wand into Optical Standard.

The silver stripe on the Light Wand should be lined up with the silver stripe on the Optical Standard.

3)Press the ZERO ADJUST Key.

The display will now show “0.0”. The zero adjustment has been made.

4)Press the Number “2” Key.

This will shut off the printer function.

5)Remove Light Wand from the Optical Standard.

The FUTREX-5500A/WL is ready to estimate relative body fat. The display will show “1.”

6)Place the Light Wand in the Light Shield and place firmly on the body part where you want to estimate the “Relative Fat.”
