Completely dry soles can result in unsatisfactory measurements due to inadequate conductivity.
• Stand still and upright during the measurement.
• Wait a few hours after unaccustomed physical activity.
• Wait approx. 15 minutes after getting up in the morning to allow the water in the body to distribute.
• Remember that only long-term trends are important. Short-term changes in weight within a few days are
usually caused by a loss of fluid. Body water plays an important role towards our general wellbeing.
