Daily Calorie Intake (DCI)

Having pre-programmed your personal information, your Scale plus Body Fat Monitor can estimate how many calories you can consume within the next 24 hours to maintain your current weight and body fat percentage. Therefore, if you would like to lose weight, consume less calories than the amount shown.

ADDITIONAL PROGRAMMING FEATURES

Programming the Guest Mode

The Guest mode allows you to use the unit without losing the information already assigned to a

Personal Key.

To program the Guest mode, use the G (Down) button to turn on the power. Then follow steps 3 through 6 in “Setting and Storing Data in Memory” (p.6). The unit will beep twice and the display will show “0.0”. Step onto the platform. Next follow the directions for “Get Your Readings” (p.7).

Note: If you step onto the platform before “0.0” appears the display will show “Err” and you will not obtain a reading.

Reprogramming a Personal Key

From time to time, you may need to adjust the data stored in a Personal Key, for example, your age or height (or for the BF-556, to change between Athlete and Standard Adult Modes).

To add a new user and erase the data of a previous user, or to change already stored data repeat Steps 1 though 6 of “Setting and Storing Data in Memory” (p.6). The display will then flash all the new data to confirm programming and the unit will shut off automatically.

Taking Weight Measurement Only

Select Weight-Only Key

Using your toe, tap the Weight-only key, “88888” will appear. After 2 or 3 seconds, “0.0” will appear in the display. When “0.0” appears in the display, step onto the platform. The body weight value will appear. If you remain on the platform, the display will flash for about 30 seconds, and then the power will automatically turn off. If you step off the platform, the weight will continue to show for about 5 seconds, then “0.0” will appear and the unit will shut off automatically.

REPLACING THE BATTERIES

When the batteries run low, the “Lo” message will appear on the display window. When this message appears, be sure to replace the batteries immediately, since weak batteries will affect the accuracy of your measurements. Change all the batteries at the same time with new AA-size batteries. The unit comes with trial batteries—their service life may be short.

Note: Your settings will not be erased from the memory when you remove the batteries.
