HOW TO DETERMINE BODY FAT PERCENTAGE
GETTING ACCURATE READINGS
Setting and Storing Data in Memory
The unit can be operated only if data has been programmed into one of the personal data memories or the Guest mode.
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.
