Replacing the BatteriesWhen the batteries run low, the “Lo” message will appear in the display window. When thismessage appears, be sure to replace the batteries immediately, since weak batteries willaffect the accuracy of your readings.New batteries will last for about one year if the scale is used once every day. The unit comeswith trial batteries; their service life will be short.Getting Accurate ReadingsTo get the most accurate absolute values, readings should be taken without clothing andunder consistent conditions of hydration. If you do not undress, always remove your socksor stockings, and be sure the soles of your feet are clean before stepping on the measuringplatform. Stand erect on 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 otherconditions may not have the same absolute values, they are accurate for determining thepercentage of change as long as the readings are taken in a consistent manner. To monitorprogress, compare weight and body fat percentage taken under the same conditions over aperiod of time.Note: An accurate reading will not be possible if the soles of your feet are not clean, or if your knees arebent or you are in a sitting position.5Batteries are low.Instruction Manual (English)
