For Accurate Measurements
Avoid measuring after strenuous exercise.
This may cause inaccurate measurements. Please take measurements after sufficient rest.
Avoid measuring after excessive food or fluid intake or when dehydrated.
This may cause inaccurate measurements. For greater accuracy, avoid using directly after
waking up. Use at the same time on each occasion, at least three hours after a meal.
Ensure inner thighs are not touching each other during measurement.
If necessary, place a dry towel between thighs.
Do not take measurements while using transmitting devices, such as mobile phones, which may affect
readings.
Use the equipment under the same conditions and in the same position as much
as possible for accurate tracking of changes.
Readings are affected by the level of hydration and position of the body. Please use at the
same time of day each time, under the same conditions and in the same body position.
Avoid measuring in multiple locations with greatly differing temperatures.
This may cause inaccurate measurements. Allow the equipment to stand for at least
2 hours before using if it is moved to a new location with a temperature difference of
20℃or more.
Make sure the soles of feet are free of excess dirt, as this may block the mild electric current.
