The marks will disappear one by one during the measurement; after five full cycles, the measurement will be complete.

mGrab the grips (two locations) only after the body

weight figure on the display has stabilized.

Do not step off the Weighting Platform until

the “

” symbols disappear completely.

In cases when measurements of the body fat ratio

or the quantity of fat are abnormally small or the

error message (E01) is shown on the display, the

probable reason is that the soles of the feet and the

electrodes are not in full contact. Make sure you

step on the Weighing Platform so there is contact

between the electrodes and the soles of your feet.

If the problem is not solved this way, it is possible

that the soles of the feet have calluses and the

resistance is too great. Therefore, place about 0.5

ml of water on each of the four electrodes where

the feet touch before measurement.
