1. Place your feet in the same position every time you weigh yourself.

3. For the most consistent readings, weigh yourself at the same time of day.
4. Allow for weight fluctuations due to food or drink in your system.

being activated or while in use, an inaccurate reading may occur.
Precautions
1. Clean exposed parts with a soft, slightly damp cloth. To remove stains, use a mild
soap. Never use detergents, excess water, treated cloths, harsh cleaning agents,
or sprays. Do not attempt to lubricate or open scale casing, other than the battery
compartment as this will void your warranty.

electronic parts. Avoid rough treatment. Do not drop, kick, or jump on it. Treat it
with care to ensure the best performance.

household products may affect the electronic components of your scale. Do not
store scale on its side.
5. This scale is an extremely sensitive weighing device. In order to prevent run down
of the batteries, do not store anything on the scale.
Reaching Target Weight
Maintaining proper weight is essential to healthy living. The Body Mass Index (BMI) is the most
widely accepted indicator of weight status according to health professionals. Use the chart
below to determine your own BMI by matching your height in the left hand column with your
weight in the center. Anyone, male or female, with a BMI of 25 to 29 is considered overweight
and a body mass index of 30 or more is considered obese. Remember to eat right and exercise.
Always contact your physician before beginning an exercise program.
Body Mass Index
NOTE: BMI has some limitations: It can overestimate body fat in people who are very
muscular, and it can underestimate body fat in people who have lost muscle mass, such
as the elderly.
