Taylor Body Fat Analyzer and Scale 5742 - Manual (Page 4)

In order to measure body fat and body water, you must first enter your
height, age, and gender. The analyzer uses these factors to calculate your
results. Onscreen prompts will lead you through programming your personal
information into the analyzer. The analyzer will then use this data to com-
pute your body fat/body water percentages.
You must have bare feet to use the body fat analyzer function.
Remove your shoes and socks before proceeding. To get the most accurate
and consistent reading, wipe your feet with a damp cloth, leaving them
slightly damp before stepping on 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 lightly on the scale platform. The display
will show “0000” and automatically turn off. Your scale is now ready for use.
In order to measure body fat/body water, you must first enter your height,
age, and gender. The analyzer uses these factors for body fat and body
water calculations. This analyzer also has an athlete mode option, which
uses additional software to calculate more accurate results for highly fit
individuals. Onscreen prompts will lead you through programming your
personal information into the analyzer. The analyzer will then use this
data to compute your body fat/body water percentages.
Your data may be stored into memory for future use, thus eliminating the
need to enter your personal information before each reading (see the
next section about “Memory Functions”).
