Positioning the Monitor  
SWITCHING THE WEIGHT MODE  
You can change the unit indication by using the switch on the back of the scale as shown in the figure.  
Place the measuring platform on a hard, flat surface where there is minimal  
vibration to ensure safe and accurate measurement.  
Note: To avoid possible injury, do not step on the edge of the platform.  
Note: If weight mode is set to pounds or stone-pounds, the height programming mode will be automatically set to feet and inches.  
Similarly, if kilograms is selected, height will be automatically set to centimeters.  
Handling Tips  
This monitor is a precision instrument utilizing state-of-the-art technology.  
To keep the unit in the best condition, follow these instructions carefully:  
Do not attempt to disassemble the measuring platform.  
Store the unit horizontally, and place it so that the buttons will not be pressed accidentally.  
Avoid excessive impact or vibration to the unit.  
Place the unit in an area free from direct sunlight, heating equipment,  
high humidity, or extreme temperature change.  
Never submerge in water. Use alcohol to clean the electrodes and glass cleaner (applied to a cloth first) to keep  
them shiny; avoid soaps.  
SETTING AND STORING PERSONAL DATA IN MEMORY  
You will receive readings only if data has been programmed into one of the personal data memories or the Guest mode.  
The monitor can store personal details for up to 4 people.  
Do not step on the platform when wet.  
Do not drop any objects onto the platform.  
1. Turn on the Power  
Press the Set button to turn on the unit (once programmed, tapping a Personal  
Key turns on the unit.) The unit will beep to confirm activation, the Personal Key  
numbers (1,2,3,4) will be displayed, and the display will flash.  
Note: If you don’t operate the unit for sixty seconds after the unit has been turned on, the unit  
will turn off automatically.  
GETTING ACCURATE READINGS  
To ensure accuracy, readings should be taken without clothing and under consistent  
conditions of hydration. If you do not undress, always remove your socks or stockings,  
and be sure the soles of your feet are clean before stepping on the measuring platform.  
Be sure that your heels are correctly aligned with the electrodes on the  
measuring platform. Don t worry if your feet appear too large for the unit -  
accurate readings can still be obtained if your toes overhang the platform.  
It is best to take readings at the same time of day. Try to wait about three  
hours after rising, eating, or hard exercise before taking measurements.  
While readings taken under other conditions may not have the same  
absolute values, they are accurate for determining the percentage of change  
as long as the readings are taken in a consistent manner. To monitor  
progress, compare weight and body fat percentage taken under the same  
conditions over a period of time.  
Note: If you make a mistake or want to turn the unit off before you have finished  
programming it, press the Weight-Only Key (  
) to force quit.  
2. Select a Personal Key Number  
Press the Up/Down buttons to select a Personal Key. Once you reach the  
Personal Key number you wish to use, press the Set button. The unit will  
beep once to confirm.

knees are bent or you are in a sitting position.  
3. Set Age  
The display defaults to Age 30 (range of user age is between 7-99). An  
arrow icon appears on the lower left side to indicate Age setting. Use the  
Up/Down buttons to scroll through numbers. When you reach your age,  
press the Set button. The unit will beep once to confirm.
