5. Language and Basic Settings: Follow the on-screen prompts to select your preferred language, date, and time settings.

5. Operating Instructions

The ACCUNIQ BC380 is designed for ease of use. Follow these steps to perform a body composition analysis:

1. Preparation:
   • Ensure your feet are clean and dry.
   • Remove any metal objects (jewelry, watches) that might interfere with the measurement.
   • For consistent results, it is recommended to measure at the same time of day, ideally in the morning before eating or exercising.
2. Start Measurement:
   • Step onto the foothold electrodes barefoot. Position your feet correctly on the designated areas.
