(1) Place the scale on a flat hard surface, such as tile or hardwood floors. Don’t place the scale on soft carpet.
(2) Make sure your gender, age and height info in the profile are correct.
(3) Choose right mode: Athlete or regular. People who are athletes or muscular, should choose Athlete mode.
(4) Calibrate the scale before measurements. Apply pressure to turn on the scale and wait “CAL” back to “0.0”. At this point, calibration is complete.
(5) Now you are ready to measure. Step on the scale barefoot, no socks or shoes. Make sure your both feet are on the electrode pads on either side. Stand still without movements during measurement. Your weight will flash twice, and “0” move back and forth. When your weight displays again, your measurement is done.
(6) In order for measurements comparable, take measurements at about same time and under similar conditions. Empty bladder before weighing. Do not measure when your body is wet.
