SAFETY INFORMATION
To assure the correct use of the product, basic safety measures should always be followed including the
warnings and cautions listed in this instruction manual.
OPERATING THE DEVICE
Do not use this monitor if you have a cardiac pacemaker or other implanted medical device. The Full Body
Sensor Body Composition Monitor and Scale passes an extremely weak electrical current of 50kHz and less
than 500µA through your body when taking a measurement to determine the amount of fat tissue. This weak
current is not felt while using the monitor. Do not use, or allow others to use, this monitor if fitted with a
cardiac pacemaker or other medical device.
Pregnant women should not use this device.
Contact your physician or healthcare provider before beginning a weight reduction or exercise program.
Keep the monitor out of the reach of young children. The cord can become entangled and cause strangulation.
Persons with disabilities or persons who are physically frail should be assisted by another person when using
this monitor or use a handrail, a walker, or other support device to prevent falling when stepping on and off the
monitor.
Read all of the information in the instruction manual and any other literature in the box before operating the
unit.
Do not use mobile telephones, microwave ovens or other devices that generate strong electrical or
electromagnetic fields near the monitor. This may result in an operational failure.

may be damaged.
Do not step on the measurement platform when your body or feet are wet, for example after taking a bath or
shower. You may slide and lose your balance.
Do not place the monitor on a cushioned floor surface such as a carpet or mat. A correct measurement may not
be possible.
Do not use the unit on slippery surfaces such as tile floors or wet floors. The monitor may move. You may lose
your balance and fall.
