UNDERSTANDING YOUR READING

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 (-) area, your reading is below the Healthy Range. For more about the Healthy Range, see page 2.

(-) : Underfat; below the healthy body fat range. Increased risk for health problems.

(0): Healthy; within the healthy body fat percentage range for your age/gender.

(+): Overfat; above the healthy range. Increased risk for health problems. (++) : Obese; high above the healthy body fat range. Greatly increased risk

of obesity-related health problems.

Under Healthy Over Obese

*Note: If you select Athlete mode, the unit will not display the Healthy Range Indicator. Athletes may have a lower body fat range based on their particular sport or activity.
