HOW TO TAKE A MEASUREMENT NOTE: If the soles of your feet are too dry, the temperature of your feet or the electrodes are extreme cold, it will not be possible to obtain stable measurements. These conditions may cause an error indicator to display or inaccurate results. Be aware of these conditions during colder months when the air is dry and/or the temperature is low. Condition Action Feet are too dry. Slightly moisten the soles of your feet with a wet towel before taking a measurement. When you step onto the electrodes, the electrodes feel too cold. Your body and feet are cold due to poor blood circulation. Leave the unit in a warm room for approximately 10 minutes to allow the electrodes to warm up. Immerse your feet in warm water or stay in a warm room to allow your feet to warm up. 3. Step onto the Measurement Platform. Make sure you are barefoot and the soles of your feet are clean and dry. Position your feet on the electrodes as shown in the illustration to the right. Make sure each of your heels is positioned on a heel electrode. Stand with your weight evenly distributed on the measurement platform. Remain still and do not move until the measurement is complete. Your weight will appear, then blink on the display. The indicators in the measurement progress bar at the bottom of the display will begin to appear from left to right. When the measurement is completed, your weight is displayed again.
