USING YOUR ANALYZER SCALE
You m u st h av e feet bared t o u se t h e an al y zer funct i on .
In order to measure body fat, you must first enter your height, age, gender and
activity level selection. The analyzer uses these parameter to calculate your
measurement results.
Remove your shoes and socks before beginning measurement. In order to get
the most accurate and consistent reading, wipe your feet with a damp cloth,
leaving them slightly damp before stepping on to the scale.
REMINDER: The scale needs to be initialized after battery installation. The
scale may also need to be initialized if it is moved or bumped. At all other
times, you may directly proceed with the following instructions for
programming your personal data into the scale.
To initialize the scale, simply press firmly on the scale platform. The display
will show “ ” and automatically turn off. Your scale is now ready for use.
NOTE: Please use the illustrations as guidelines only. Due to continuous
product improvements, the illustrations shown in this manual may differ
slightly from the actual display.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
How exactly is my body fat being measured?
The TRANSTEK Glass Body Fat Analyzer uses a measurement method known as Bioelectri-
cal Impedance Analysis (BIA).A minute current is sent through your body, via your feet and
legs. This current flows easily through the lean muscular tissue, which has a high fluid
content, but not easily through fat.Therefore, by measuring your body’s
impedance (i.e. its resistance to the current), the quantity of muscle can be determined, from
which, the quantity of fat can then be estimated.
What is the value of the current passing through me when the measurement
is taken? Is it safe?
The current is less than 1mA. You may not be able to feel it. Please note however,
that this device should not be used by anyone with an internal electronic medical
device, such as a pacemaker, as a precaution against disruption to that device.
TROUBLESHOOTING
1. You must have feet bared to take this measurement. In order to get the most accurate
and consistent reading, wipe your feet with a damp cloth, leaving them slightly damp
before stepping on the scale. Repeat measurement again, maintaining maximum contact
between your feet and the metal sensors.
2. The condition of the skin on the bottom of your feet can affect the reading. The natural
effects of aging or activity can make this skin hard. Take the reading with clean, slightly
damp feet for best accuracy.
