You should always measure fat at the same time of the day because the proportion of fat varies greatly during the course of the day. The best time for fat monitoring is between 18. 00 and 20. 00 hours.
IMPORTANT SAFETY ADVICE
1) If the weight on the scale exceeds the maximum capacity of 150 kg (or 330 lb), then the display shows "0-Ld". You should step off the scale immediately to avoid damaging it. [. . . ] The display first shows a flashing `1-10' and then shows `0. 0`. First "1-10" flashes, then the indicator light shows ON. Within a few seconds the display will show your weight. The scale switches itself off automatically. If the scale does not show your weight after displaying `0. 0`, it will switch off automatically after 30 seconds.
Entering your personal data
(for body fat measurement) Before you can measure your body fat, you first have to enter your personal data. 2) If the display shows `1-10`, press ` ` to switch to entry mode. Press the ` ` button or the ` ` button to select the memory location for your personal data. The scale has 10 memory locations available for personal data. 4) After you have entered your personal data into the selected memory location, press ` ` to confirm. 5) The display now shows only kg and lb. Press the ` ` button or the ` ` button to select the units of measurement for weight. 6) The display now shows a flashing `male' or `female'. Select your gender by pressing ` ' or ` `. 7) The display shows `170 cm' (or 5' 07", if you selected the lb units). Enter your actual height by pressing the ` ` button or the ` ` button respectively to increase or reduce this value. Confirm your selection by pressing ` ` once. Enter your actual age by pressing the ` ` button or the ` ` button respectively to increase or reduce this value. You can repeat stages 2 to 8 if you wish to change your personal data or to enter another person's personal data. OR press ` ` or ` ` to recall your personal data from the memory location. As soon as you have selected the memory location the display shows `0. 0`. Step on to the scale bare-footed and remain stationary there whilst your weight and fat measurements are being taken. OR, allow the scale to switch off automatically.
Measurement of weight simultaneously with body fat
1) Press ` ` to switch on the scale. [. . . ] 6) The scale always rounds to the nearest whole increment, either up or down. If you weigh yourself twice and the readings are different, then your weight (or fat values) will be between these two readings. 7) The scale should be cleaned using a neutral cleaning agent and a moist cloth. 8) Remove the batteries if you expect not to be using the scale for a long time.
