Operating Instructions
1. Taking a Measurement
To take a measurement, simply step onto the scale with bare, dry feet. Ensure your feet are positioned on the ITO conductive areas (the metallic-looking strips or transparent coating). The scale will automatically turn on, identify the user (if a profile is set up), and display your weight. After a few seconds, it will cycle through your body composition readings: %Body Fat, % Total Body Water, % Muscle Mass, and Bone Mass.
- For accurate body composition readings, ensure your feet are clean and dry.
- Stand still on the scale until all readings are displayed.
- Consistency is key: weigh yourself at the same time each day, preferably in the morning before breakfast and after using the restroom.
2. Understanding Your Readings
The scale provides the following measurements:
- Weight: Your total body weight in pounds (lbs) or kilograms (kg).
- %Body Fat: The percentage of your total body weight that is fat.
- %Total Body Water: The percentage of your total body weight that is water.
- %Muscle Mass: The percentage of your total body weight that is muscle.
- Bone Mass: The total weight of your bones.
These readings are estimates and should be used as a guide for tracking progress over time. Consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
3. Switching Measurement Units
The scale can display weight in either pounds (lbs) or kilograms (kg). To switch between units, locate the unit switch button on the underside of the scale, usually near the battery compartment. Press it to toggle between lbs and kg.
Maintenance
1. Cleaning the Scale
To clean the scale, wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the scale in water. Avoid harsh chemicals that may damage the glass or electronic components.
2. Storage
Store the scale in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Do not place heavy objects on the scale when not in use.
3. Battery Replacement
When the battery indicator appears on the display, or if the display becomes dim or unresponsive, it is time to replace the batteries. Replace all 4 AAA batteries simultaneously with new ones to ensure optimal performance.
