BF-623 Body Fat Monitor/Scale
Useful Features of the BF-623
The BF-623 allows you to measure both weight and body fat percentage simultaneously as
easily and simply as stepping on a scale.
The BF-623 can be set for an Adult or Child, Male or Female, increasing the accuracy of
the reading.
Personal data (Adult/Child, Male/Female and Height) are stored in the memory of the unit.
Switching the Weight Mode
The BF-623 can record measurements in lb (pounds), kg (kilograms) or st-lb (British stone
pounds). To select the preferred mode, make sure the monitor is off. Press the Green Arrow
and Orange Set buttons simultaneously. Press the Green Arrow button to choose your
measurement mode (lb/kg/st-lb), then press the Orange Set button. The display screen will
flash to confirm your selection and store it in memory. (To change weight mode, repeat the
previous steps.)
Automatic Shut-Down Function

If you interrupt the measurement process. The power will shut down automatically within
10 to 20 seconds, depending upon the type of operation.
If an extraordinary weight is applied to the platform.
