WARNING
• Individuals with a Pacemaker or Other Internal Medical Devices
This equipment sends a weak electrical current through the body during measurement. Individuals
who have internally implanted medical devices, such as Pacemakers, should not use this equipment
due to the risk of malfunction to the device that may be caused by the weak electrical current.
• Inserting and Removing the Power Cord
To reduce the risk of electric shock or product damage, never insert or remove the power cord with
wet hands.
• Do not under any circumstances dismantle or alter the device, as this could result in electric shock or
injury as well as adversely affect the precision of measurements.
• To prevent fire hazard
Use only a correctly wired (100-240VAC) outlet, and do not use a multiple outlet extension cable.
• Measurements for physically disabled persons
Physically disabled persons should not attempt to take measurements alone, but instead should
have their caretakers assist them in using the device.

CAUTION
• Cross Contamination
The Body Composition Analyzer should be used with bare feet. Please be sure to clean the scale
platform with appropriate disinfectant after each use. Never pour any liquid directly on the scale
platform, as it may leak and cause internal damage. Use a soft cloth and appropriate ethyl alcohol
to wipe off platform. Do not wipe the platform with strong chemicals.
• Interpretation of Results
The data provided by this machine, as well as any supplementary information such as diet or
exercise programs based on this data, should be interpreted by a licensed professional.
• Please make sure you place the Weighing Platform on a level and stable surface. If the equipment
is used when the Weighing Platform is unstable because not all feet are on the surface, there may
be a risk of stumbling or inaccurate measurement.
Never jump on the Weighing Platform, there may be a risk of stumbling and malfunction of the
equipment.
• When handling printer unit, avoid any sharp edges.
• For the BC-418; Ensure you use the original AC adapter (MODEL: SA25-0535U). Using an AC
adapter other than the original one may cause malfunction.
Do not insert or remove the plug by the cable.

General Instructions for Accurate Measurement
This equipment sends out a very weak electric current to measure impedance (electrical resistance) of the body. Therefore, in
principle, users need to use this equipment with bare feet. Moreover, since impedance fluctuates in accordance with the
distribution of body fluid, please observe the following instructions for accurate measurement.
• To prevent a possible discrepancy in measured values, avoid taking measurements after vigorous exercise until sufficiently
rested.
• To prevent inaccurately low body fat percentage measurements and other measurement errors, always hold both arms
straight down when taking measurements.
• As changes in body water and body temperature can have a major impact on measurements, measurements should be
made every day at the same time under similar conditions (always urinating before taking measurements, etc.) to get a
more accurate picture of the measurements over time.
• Ensure that your arms are not touching your side and that the inner thighs are not touching each other during
measurements; if necessary, place a dry towel between your arm and side and/or between your thighs.
• Also, make sure the soles of feet are free of excess dirt, as this may also act as a barrier to the mild current.
• False results may be reported after excessive food/fluid intake, or after periods of intense exercise.
* For further details, see the Technical Notes on page 36.
• This equipment is designed for the majority of the population leading healthy lives with a regular lifestyle. For people
suffering from sickness, or whose lifestyle is very different from the norm, it is recommended that the data from this
product should not be used as an absolute value, but rather as a reference to observe the rate change.
* For further details, see the Technical Notes on page 36.
• Measurement is sometimes impossible on a surface that is strongly vibrating. In this case, please move the equipment onto
a surface with little vibration.
• Do not take measurements while using transmitters, such as mobile phones, which may affect readings.
