Your weight will be shown first. Continue to stand on the platform. “00000” will appear on the display and disappear one by one from left to right. Your body fat percentage and Body Fat Range will appear on the display screen. The display will then flash your weight and body fat percentage alternately three times.
Note: Even if you step off the platform after all the results are displayed, the alternating display of body weight and body fat percentage will be repeated three times. The unit will then shut down automatically.

GETTING ACCURATE READINGS
Healthy Range Indicator (Standard Adults only*)
Your body fat monitor/scale automatically compares your body fat reading to the Healthy Body Fat Range chart.
Following your body fat percentage reading, a black bar will flash along the bottom of the display, identifying where you fall within the Body Fat Ranges for your age and gender. For example, if the squares appear above (0) area your range is within the Healthy Range – if they appear over

(0): Healthy; within the healthy body fat percentage range for your age/gender.
(+): Overfat; above the healthy range. Increased risk for health

electrodes | measuring platform |
Note: An accurate reading will not be possible if the soles of your feet are not clean, or if your knees are bent or you are in a sitting position.
Be sure that your heels are correctly aligned with the electrodes on the measuring platform. Don’t worry if your feet appear too large for the unit – accurate readings can still be obtained if your toes overhang the platform. It is best to take readings at the same time of day. Try to wait about three hours after rising, eating, or hard exercise before taking measurements. While readings taken under other conditions may not have the same absolute values, they are accurate for determining the percentage of change as long as the readings are taken in a consistent manner. To monitor progress, compare weight and body fat percentage taken under the same conditions over a period of time.
PROGRAMMING THE GUEST MODE
The Guest mode allows you to use the monitor without losing the information already assigned to a Personal Key.
To programme the Guest mode, use the Down button marked with a “G” to turn on the power. Then follow steps 3 through 5 in “Setting and Storing Data” (p.5.) The unit will beep twice and the display will show “0.0”. Step onto the platform. Next follow the directions for “Get Your Reading” (p.6).
Note: If you step onto the platform before “0.0” appears the display will show “Error” and you will not obtain a reading.
