3.1 Taking Measurements

Place the scale on a hard, flat surface (avoid carpets or uneven floors for accurate readings). Step onto the scale barefoot with your feet evenly distributed on the four electrode pads. The scale will automatically turn on and display your weight. Remain still until the measurement is complete and the reading stabilizes. Your data will then be sent to the connected FITINDEX App.
