Operation
1. Taking a Measurement
- Place the scale on a hard, flat surface.
- Ensure your feet are clean and dry. For body composition measurements, it is important to stand barefoot on the scale, ensuring your feet make contact with all four electrode sensors.
- Step onto the scale. The scale will automatically activate and begin measuring.
- Stand still until your weight and other body composition metrics are displayed on the scale's LCD screen.
- If the app is open and connected, the data will automatically sync to your A&D Heart Track App profile.
- The scale will automatically shut off after approximately 15 seconds of inactivity to conserve battery life.

2. Understanding Body Composition Metrics
The UC-450BLE scale measures and estimates the following metrics:
- Weight: Your total body mass.
- BMI (Body Mass Index): A measure of body fat based on height and weight.
- Body Fat Percentage: The proportion of fat to total body weight.
- Muscle Mass: The total weight of muscle in your body.
- Bone Density: An estimation of bone mineral content.
- Water Percentage: The proportion of water to total body weight.
- Visceral Fat: Fat stored around the organs in the abdomen.
These metrics are displayed on the scale and in greater detail within the A&D Heart Track App.
