Operating Instructions

1. Taking a Weight Measurement:

   Simply step onto the scale with bare feet. The scale will automatically turn on and display your weight. Wait for the reading to stabilize.
2. Using Analyzer Functions (Body Composition):

   For body fat, body water, and muscle mass measurements, ensure your user profile is selected. Step onto the scale with bare feet, making sure your feet are in contact with the metal electrodes (if present, or the conductive areas on the glass). The scale will send a small, safe electrical current through your body to estimate composition. Remain still until all readings are displayed.

3. Sport Mode:

   If your scale features a 'Sport Mode', activate it during user profile setup if you engage in regular intense physical activity. This mode adjusts the body composition algorithm for athletes, providing more accurate readings for individuals with higher muscle mass.

4. Reading the LCD Screen:

   The backlit LCD screen will display your measurements clearly. Weight is typically shown first, followed by body fat percentage, body water percentage, and muscle mass percentage. Refer to the manual's specifications section for typical healthy ranges.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the scale surface with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the scale in water.
• Storage: Store the scale in a cool, dry place. It can be stored flat or upright against a wall.
