INFORMATION ON BODY COMPOSITION

RECOMMENDED MEASUREMENT TIMES

Being aware of the times when the body fat percentages shift within your daily schedule will assist you
in obtaining an accurate trending of your body composition. It is recommended to use this unit in the
same environment and daily circumstances. Reference the chart below:

Avoid Taking Measurements Under the Following Conditions:

- Immediately after vigorous exercise, after a bath or sauna.
- After drinking alcohol or a large amount of water, after a meal (about 2 hours).
If a measurement is taken under these physical conditions, the calculated body composition may differ
significantly from the actual one because the water content in the body is changing.
