NOTE: It is important to:
Aim the silver stripe of the Light Wand vertically toward the upper portion of the body.
Keep the body site to be estimated relaxed (do not permit subject to flex muscle area being estimated).
Use the Light Shield to block the external light. ALWAYS avoid estimations under strong lights (e.g. direct
sunlight) because errors may occur.
Press GREEN BUTTON on the Light Wand.
The display will then show a decimal point following the number “1”. The number “2” will then be displayed.
CAUTION: Do not move the Light Wand while the decimal point is illuminated. The actual
estimation is being made at that time.
Remove the Light Wand and replace it on the same site on the body. Press GREEN BUTTON on the Light
Wand. The display will then show a decimal point following the number “2.”
7) The Relative Body Fat Estimation is displayed.
To Estimate Another Site or Repeat an Estimation - Place the Light Wand firmly on the particular body site and follow steps
outlined in 6 and 7.
OFF Message - An OFF Message will appear and the FUTREX-5500A/WL Automatic Power Down feature will turn the unit OFF if
the user has not pressed any key for 6 minutes. To use the unit again, turn the Power Switch OFF and then ON again.
NOTE: This relative body fat is not a direct “Percentage” estimation. This value, however, can be used as a guide to
monitor changes in fat distribution within the location estimated.
