| Description: | You will need to enter the following information in order to get a measurement:
- Normal/Athlete mode
- Height
- Weight
- Age
- Gender
Directions
- Have client stand with both feet slightly apart.
- Place both hands on the monitor by correctly holding the grip electrodes.
- Wrap your middle finger around the groove of the handle.
- Place the palm of your hand on the top and the bottom electrodes.
- Put your thumbs up, resting on the top of the monitor.
- Hold your arms straight out at a 90° angle to your body.
- Press the Start button and hold arms still until your values are displayed.
Please note:
Avoid taking a measurement immediately after these situations, as the measured body fat
percentage may differ significantly from the actual one because the water content in the
body is changing:
- • After drinking a large amount of water or after a meal (1 to 2 hours)
- • After drinking alcohol
- Immediately after exercise
- Immediately after a shower, bath or sauna
