USING YOUR BODY ANALYZER SCALE

A. WEIGHT ONLY

NOTE: You do not need a user profile set up to measure your weight only.

1. Place the scale on a flat surface. A hard surface is best for maximum accuracy.
2. Use the TAP ON (tap on lower right hand corner, wait for "0.0" and "STEP ON" [display message]) or INSTANT ON (step onto scale) features to activate your scale.
3. Step onto the scale and position both feet so that your weight is distributed evenly over the platform. Stand still while the scale calculates your weight. The LCD will begin flashing for a few seconds before displaying your weight.
4. The scale will automatically turn off after 10 seconds of inactivity.

B. BODY ANALYZER FEATURE

The body analyzer feature allows you to select and clearly see other health-related measurements. This feature also shows if your measurement is healthy in comparison to the national average.

NOTE: You will need to have your profile information set up for the scale to measure your body fat, body mass index (BMI), hydration, and daily caloric intake (DCI). Refer to "FIRST TIME PROGRAMMING & SETTING YOUR USER PROFILE/GOAL".

1. Press the "USER SELECTION" button, and use the [UP ARROW] or [DOWN ARROW] button to choose your user profile, then press the "SELECT" button to confirm selection.
2. Your height and then your last weight will be displayed if there is any previous record.

7. Use your finger or toe to select another measurement. Otherwise, the scale will automatically turn off.

3. NOTE: M1 is the oldest record. Once 10 records are saved, each new record will replace older records in memory.
4. If you want to see other health-related measurements for the selected memory record of the selected user, press the other Measurement Buttons (HYDRATION, BODY FAT, BMI, DCI) after weight is displayed.
5. NOTE: If you want to change the height or goal weight for an individual user, follow the steps in the "SETTING YOUR USER PROFILE/GOAL" section.

DAILY CALORIC INTAKE (DCI) FEATURE

Your scale includes a daily caloric intake (DCI) feature. The DCI number is derived from the information programmed in your user profile and your activity level.

If you have not set a goal weight, the DCI number represents the calories required to maintain your current weight.

If you have set a goal weight, the DCI number represents the suggested calories (500 calories per day, equivalent to 3,500 calories per week or 1 LB) needed to increase or decrease your weight.

BODY FAT COMPOSITION RANGES

Recommended Body Fat Ranges and BMI

Note: Ranges are approximate and may vary. Consult your physician for personalized advice.

Based on NIH/WHO guidelines for BMI and Gallagher et al., American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Vol. 72, Sept. 2000.

To determine the percentage of body fat that is appropriate for your body, consult your physician.

BODY MASS INDEX (BMI)

Body Mass Index (BMI) is a measure of body weight relative to height, closely associated with body fat. A higher BMI generally indicates a greater risk of developing health problems.

BMI for Adults

For adults over 20 years old, BMI falls into one of the following classifications:

Source: Adapted from WHO, 1995, WHO, 2000, WHO 2004, and Stanford Hospital and Clinics 2009.

To determine the BMI that is appropriate for your body, consult your physician.

BMI Limitations

BMI does not differentiate between fat and muscle, so it is not the sole predictor of health risks. For example, a muscular individual may have a high BMI but still be healthy. BMI may also not accurately reflect body fatness in people under 5 feet (1.5m) or older individuals who tend to lose muscle mass. However, for most people, BMI is a reliable indicator of weight-related health risks.

Example: Height 6'3" (1.9m), Weight 220 lbs (100 kg) = BMI 27.

NOTE: The materials in this manual are not intended to replace advice from your doctor or fitness professional. Please consult with your physician before beginning any fitness program or fat or weight reduction program. Individual weight loss will vary. Jarden Consumer Solutions takes no responsibility for individual results or any claim made by a third party.

BODY HYDRATION

Body hydration percentage indicates the amount of fluids in your body. Water is important for regulating body temperature, converting food into energy, and protecting vital organs. Individuals with more body fat may have proportionately less total body water and are more susceptible to dehydration.

When tracking your body hydration level, consider the following:

1. Take your hydration measurements at the same time of day.
2. Monitor your readings to establish a personal body hydration range.
3. Do not drink any caffeinated or alcoholic drinks before taking a measurement.
4. Drink water if dehydration is detected.

Please consult with your physician to determine the appropriate hydration level for your body.

CARING FOR YOUR SCALE

Periodically wipe the scale surface down with a DRY cloth to remove dust.

It is normal for your weight to vary during the day and from one day to another.

Weight exceeding the capacity (400 LB / 181 KG) may damage your scale. Ensure there is no weight being applied to the scale while not in use to prevent battery drainage. This product is designed for personal use only. Not for commercial or industrial use. This unit is not waterproof; avoid contact with excessive moisture.

REPLACING THE BATTERIES

This unit includes four (4) AA batteries. When "LOW BATTERY" appears on the display, replace all batteries.

Do not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix alkaline, standard (Carbon-Zinc) or rechargeable (Nickel-Cadmium) batteries.

Removing the batteries will not affect the recorded data and user profile.

Battery Replacement:

1. Locate the battery cover on the back of the scale. Push the locking tab and pull the battery cover up.
2. Use the tip of a pen to loosen each battery. Hold the scale at an angle to allow the batteries to slide out.
3. Insert four new batteries, pressing them firmly into each slot, following the (+)/(-) signs indicated on each slot.
4. Replace the battery cover.

RESETTING THE SCALE

This process will erase ALL history for an individual user or for ALL users, including user profiles and saved records.

1. While the scale is OFF, hold down the "SELECT" button until the unit of measurement icon starts blinking.
2. Press the "SELECT" button to acknowledge the current unit of measurement (LB for pounds or KG for Kilograms). Press the "SELECT" button to acknowledge the current Date and Time set up.
3. To confirm your desire to reset, press the [UP ARROW] or [DOWN ARROW] button to choose "YES" and press "SELECT".
4. Press the [UP ARROW] or [DOWN ARROW] button to choose "1, 2, 3, or 4" if you want to reset the data for an individual user, or choose "ALL" if you want to reset the whole scale for all users. Then press "SELECT" to confirm selection.
5. The horizontal bars " " will flash twice. All history and profile are erased.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If "E" appears on the display:

• The scale cannot detect a stable weight. Stand still while weighing.
• The weight has exceeded the scale's capacity (400 LB/181 KG).
• The scale cannot measure other health measurement data. Ensure that you are standing on the scale with bare feet.

NOTE: Display will turn off automatically in 10 seconds if no key is pressed.
