BODY FAT MONITORING SCALE User's Manual Model BFM580 To assist us in serving you, please provide model number and date of purchase. About Body Fat Congratulations on your purchase of this Health o meter wellness monitoring product. It's so much more than just a scale. It helps monitor the weight and body fat composition for one user. It's easy to program and use. Once your data is stored, your scale is ready to use. It's that simple! The Health o meter Body Fat Monitoring Scale can help you in achieving your physical best by providing two critical measurement estimates: BODY FAT COMPOSITION and BODY WEIGHT. Traditional bathroom scales, indicate your overall weight--both lean mass and body fat together. The Health o meter Body Fat Monitoring Scale lets you track your weight and body fat separately. 1 Welcome Please read all instructions to familiarize yourself with features and operations before programming the scale. The use of this scale is not recommended for persons with an electric implant (heart pacemaker). The scale will not calculate body fat unless you have bare feet. For an accurate body fat estimate, do not bend your knees, and keep your legs/thighs apart and straight when standing on the scale. The body fat function is not recommended for use by pregnant women, persons with fever, swollen legs or other edemas, as well as a person who is over hydrated or dehydrated. Body fat percentages may be slightly higher or lower for children under 16, persons with diabetes and other health conditions. Women naturally store approximately 5% more body fat than men.
