2. HOW TO OBTAIN A CORRECT
MEASUREMENT
The body fat monitor is a monitoring device. It should be used
at a fixed point in time and with a fixed period between two
measurements. For instance: once a week on a Sunday
morning. With this in mind, please find in paragraph 2.1 a
table with recommended times for measurement.
There are conditions that are not suitable for taking a body fat
measurement. There are also some exceptions that are
excluded for taking a body fat measurement. This is explained
in paragraph 2.2 and 2.3. This chapter will end with some
recom mendation (paragraph 2.4) before taking a measurement.

conditions, the measured body fat percentage may differ
significantly from the actual one because the water content
in the body changes.

too much from the actual body fat percentage. These excep-
tions are the people for who measurements may vary due to
consistently changing amounts of water and tissue density
within their bodies.

palms or the grip of the electrodes are extremely cool, stable
