TIPS FOR INCREASING ACCURACY
The following tips will help make your readings more accurate and consistent:
1. Weigh yourself in the morning (either daily or weekly) to get weight only before you
start your day. Test yourself in Fitness Mode before you eat your evening meal to get
accurate readings of your body metrics.
2. Only use your scale to measure your progress. Optimally, users consult with their
doctors in setting long term goals.
3 . Choose the correct parameters when setting up your user profile. If you’re an athlete
(+15 hrs of strenuous/aerobic exercise a week), choose this setting.
4. Drink a glass of water one hour before you test yourself. Make sure that you always
drink this same amount of water one hour before.
5. Measure yourself at the same time of day for each test.
6. Your skin temperature affects the electrical current used by the scale. A more
consistent room temperature will help with accuracy.
7. Don’t test yourself immediately after exercising. When you exercise you sweat and
when you sweat you lose hydration which will affect readings adversely.
8. Thoroughly clean the glass platform to ensure that you have a clean, dry contact surface
with the skin when measuring in Fitness Mode.
9. Remember that this scale gives a trend of body fat percentage and is not an exact
number. It is important to measure at the same time of day and under the same conditions
to see an accurate trend.
