If the following problems occur...

•Nothing appears in the LCD after initial display.

•Nothing appears when a PERSONAL key is pressed, or

The display shows “- - - - -” and goes off when a PERSONAL key is pressed.

•The body fat percentage measurement does not appear after the weight

is measured.

•The body fat percentage measurement is extremely low.

•The body fat percentage measurement is extremely high.

Then...

Check foot alignment. Make sure you wait for “0.0 lb” to appear before stepping on the platform. Check to see that the batteries are new and are in the correct position.

No data (Adult/Child, gender, height) has been pre-set in memory for that key. Enter data.

Vibration will interfere with measurement of the fat percentage. Be sure to stand erect and still on the measuring platform. Do not bend your knees. Be sure that shoes and socks are removed and check foot alignment. Step off and repeat steps on pp. 7-8.

Be sure you are measuring in the correct user mode (Adult/Child, gender), and that the soles of your feet are clean and properly aligned with the guides on the measuring plat- form. Consider whether or not you are over-hydrated. Step off and repeat steps on pp. 7-8.
