Measuring weight and body fat
Tips for proper measurement
To ensure accurate measurements, please follow these instructions when
you start measuring.
- Place the device on a flat, hard surface. Soft surfaces such as carpet
affect the performance of the device. If you use the device on a soft
surface, make sure you attach the carpet feet supplied to the feet of the
device (see 'Placing the carpet feet'). This helps to prevent soft surfaces
from affecting the performance of the device.
- A bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) measurement can only be
performed if you are barefoot.
- Step onto the device barefoot, make sure your feet are slightly damp and
clean. Stand still and keep full contact with the measurement platform
until the measurement is complete. Be careful not to slip.
- The condition of the skin of the soles of your feet can affect the
measurement. The natural effects of aging or activity can make this skin
hard.
- Replace batteries before they are completely empty.
- For a meaningful comparison, try to measure under similar conditions.
For example, take measurements at approximately the same time, on the
same surface.
- Body fat percentage estimates will vary as a result of the amount of
water in the body, and can be affected by dehydration or over-hydration
due to such factors as alcohol consumption, menstruation, illness,
intense exercise, etc.
We advise you not to use the scale in the following circumstances, as this
may cause inaccurate measurements:
- Immediately after strenuous exercise.
- Immediately after a sauna or bath.
- Immediately after eating or drinking.
