Setting and Storing Data in Memory
The unit can be operated only if data has been programmed into one of the two Personal Keys or the Guest mode.

Press the Set button to turn on the unit (once programmed, tapping a
Personal Key turns on the unit.) The unit will beep to confirm activation, the
Personal Key numbers (1,2,3,4) will be displayed, and the display will flash.

GETTING ACCURATE READINGS
Heels centered on | Toes may overhang |
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.
To ensure accuracy, readings should be taken without clothing and under consistent conditions of hydration. If you do not undress, always remove your socks or stockings, and be sure the soles of your feet are clean before stepping on the measuring platform. 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.
