with applicable regulations. It should be disposed of in a location specifically desig-
nated for that purpose so they can be recycled safely and without posing any risk
for the environment. Do not burn or bury the battery.
Scale Recalibration
Occasionally your scale will need to be recalibrated, particularly if your store your
scale sideways against a wall.
This will reconfigure your scale to ensure it is giving the most accurate readings.
To recalibrate your scale:
1. Place the scale on a hard, flat surface
2. Step on the scale and off again quickly
3. Wait around 1-2 seconds.
4. The scale will show “0.0 kg” and is recalibrated
5. You may need to run through this process up to 3 times to fully recalibrate your
scale
Reset The Scale
NOTE – ALL USER INFORMATION WILL BE DELETED
To reset you the user settings on your scale:
1. Press and hold the KG/LB button on the back of the scale
2. While holding the KG/LB, press the SET button on the front surface of the scale
3 times, holding the SET button down the 3rd time you press it
3. All user information on the scale will be deleted and the LCD display will show
“CLr” for 4 seconds, then power off
4. Unit settings will now revert to default factory settings.
2. Body Analysis
NOTE: Your age and height etc must be input to operate this function.
1. When the scale is switched off, quickly and firmly tap the centre of the scale
platform to activate.
2. Wait a few seconds, then "0.0" will be displayed.
3. Once "0.0" is displayed, firmly press the USER button.
4. P1 will flash - press UP or DOWN arrows to select your user number.
5. Once the user has been selected your previously input information will flash through
on the screen.
6. Step onto the platform when the scale displays “0.0” ( do not stand on before)
7. Stand still and be patient the scale is working out all of the information, the scale
will display your weight followed by the body fat, body water, etc.
If an error "Err" message appears: You might be standing on the scale before "0.0"
is displayed.
When the scale is switched off, quickly and firmly tap the centre of the scale platform
with foot to activate.
Wait a few seconds, then "0.0" will be displayed. You should then stand on the scale
-never stand on the scale before "0.0" is displayed.
The "Err" message will also be displayed if the weight on the scale exceeds the scales
capacity.

properly.
Scale will first show "---," then your weight only and "Err" if there is improper foot
contact in the body analysis mode, (for instance, when you stand on the scale with
socks or shoes on).
Hard or dry skin can prevent you from making proper contact with electrodes on the
surface of the scale. Try applying a small amount of moisturiser to your feet before
using the scale, but be careful not to slip on the stepping surface.

Weight and Body Fat
How does it work?
While body fat can be measured in many ways, the method used in your scale is
bioelectrical impedance. This indirect method of determining body fat starts when
a safe and very low electrical current is sent through the lower half of the body. The
electrical current flows more quickly through water and muscle than it will through
bone and fat. The scale measures the speed of the current. Based on this number,
the scale estimates body fat using a multi-step, mathematical formula.
Is it accurate?
Measurements of body fat tend to fluctuate a lot more than simple weighing, and
different methods of estimating body fat yield very different results. Just as different
scales give different results, different body fat analysers can provide very different body
fat estimates. Even with the same scale the numbers will vary because:
• Weight loss tends to produce substantial, continuous, and unpredictable changes
in body water content. Because body fat analysis is determined by water content in
the body, results can vary considerably from day to day.
• Hydration status affects body fat results. If you’ve just worked out, there is less water
for the electrical current to flow through. This may result in a higher body fat result. In
the same way, if you measure your body fat after drinking a lot of fluid, it may appear
that body fat is lower than it really is.
• Skin temperature can have an influence also. Measuring body fat in warm humid
weather when skin is moist will yield a different result than if skin is cold and dry.
• As with weight, when your goal is to change body composition it is better to track
trends over time than to use individual daily results.
• Results may not be accurate for persons under the age of 16, or persons with an
elevated body temperature, diabetes or other health conditions.
What you need to know!
• Percent body fat refers to the number of kilograms of fat divided by your total body
weight and multiplied by 100.
• During weight loss, percent body fat doesn’t appear to be reduced as quickly as
expected because total weight loss and total body fat are decreasing at the same
time (for a more detailed explanation, see next section).
• Weight loss in the form of body fat and lean tissue (muscle) is common, and is
normal.
• To minimise the loss of lean tissue, include regular physical activity, especially
strength training and adequate protein foods in your weight-loss plan.
Why do I lose weight, but my body fat percentage doesn’t
change much?
Remember that your WW body fat monitor is showing your body fat as a percentage,
not as an absolute number of kilograms. At the beginning of a weight loss program,
a person may weigh 100 kg and show 30% body fat, equalling 30 kg of fat (30% of
100 kg = 30 kg). A few weeks later, the same person may have lost a substantial
amount of weight. Weight is now at 90 kg, yet body fat is still at 30%. Why? Did that
person not lose any fat? Yes, they did. At 90 kg with 30% body fat, the person now
has 27 kg of body fat (30% of 90 kg = 27 kg'), meaning that 3 kg of the total 10 kg
lost were fat. So, do not be overly concerned if your percentage of body fat does not
change despite the fact that you are losing weight. Remember, to minimise the loss
of lean tissue include regular physical activity, especially strength training. Remember,
to minimise the loss of lean tissue, include regular physical activity, especially strength
training and adequate protein foods in your weight-loss plan.
Body Water/Hydration Levels
General health standards indicate that one should consume approximately
2L of water per day from food and liquids to maintain a healthy level of hydration.
Maintaining a good hydration level will help improve your overall health and general
feeling of well-being. If your hydration levels are lower than average, you should
increase your water intake accordingly.
Body water/hydration level – how is it measured?
The hydration level is measured by using Bioelectric Impedance Analysis (BIA). The
same analysis that is used to calculate your body fat is used to calculate your hydration
level. Taking into consideration a user’s age and gender, a calculation is made that
determines the percentage of water.
Please note: It is not recommended to take the hydration measurements in certain
situations, such as following exercise, after drinking a glass of water, or directly prior
to, during or shortly after menstrual cycles. Hydration may not be at normal levels
during these times.
Bone Mass — What Is It?
Bone is a living, growing tissue. During youth, your body makes new bone tissue faster
than it breaks down older bone. In young adulthood, bone mass is at its peak; after
that, bone loss starts to outpace bone growth, and bone mass decreases. But it’s a
long and very slow process that can be slowed down even more through calcium-rich
diets and weight-bearing exercise.
Who should monitor bone mass?
Most people have no need to monitor bone mass, but certain groups – postmenopausal
women, men and women with certain diseases, and anyone who takes medications
that affect bone tissue – might want to watch for decreases in bone mass. The bone
mass reading is to be used as guide only. Watch for trends over time and contact
your healthcare provider for a more detailed explanation of the readings and with any
questions or concerns.

Make the most of it!
To summarise, make the most of the body analysis feature by:
• Tracking change over time and not day to day.
• Using the same scale as much as possible.
• Being consistent the time of day, day of the week, time before or after food and
fluid consumption, before or after exercise, etc., when measuring body composi-
tion.
While a scale can be a useful tool on your weight loss journey, it’s not a
complete program for losing weight.

Important Information Concerning
Weight Management
Your scale is a helpful tool for monitoring weight. While not the only measure
of weight loss, scales are the most popular method used to gauge weight-loss
success. A scale measures the sum of your total body weight, which includes
bone, muscle, fat, and water.
Body weight fluctuates during the day, and from day to day,
depending on a variety of factors.
• Salt and carbohydrate intake can affect the body’s water retention.
• A large meal adds weight and can cause water retention.
• Dehydration from exercise, illness, or low fluid intake can result in weight loss.
• Muscle is also a factor. Resistance training can build muscle, which can affect
weight.
• The menstrual cycle can cause temporary gains and losses, mostly due to water
retention.
When You’re Losing Weight
It’s important not to put too much emphasis in the exact number on the scale,
because it can and will vary. This is especially true when you’re trying to lose
weight. Small weight gains and losses are common due to water fluctuations, and
also as your body adjusts to fewer kilojoules and more exercise. Your scale is a
valuable tool when used to track weight over a period of weeks and months. Be
aware that different scales often give different results. The scale at your doctor’s
office may show one weight, and your scale at home another. So don’t get too
caught up with a single number.
Try Not To Overdo It
We generally recommend weighing yourself no more than once a week when
you’re dieting. Though it’s hard to stick to this pattern, it’s the best way to prevent
unnecessary concern with normal weight fluctuations, which are unrelated to your
weight-loss efforts. Regardless of your weighing habits, it’s important that you’re
consistent.
Here are 6 rules for effectively monitoring your weight – weigh yourself:
• Once a week, on the same day of the week
• At the same time of day
• In the same place
• Wearing the same clothes
• Using the same scale
• On a flat, hard surface (avoid carpet or uneven tile flooring)
To keep track of your weight, record only one number for the week.
This will give you a clear picture of any trend your weight is following.
When You’re Maintaining Your Weight
Fluctuations in day-to-day weight tend to be smaller when weight is stable, so a
more frequent weigh-in pattern may be helpful. Also, research shows that people
who keep weight within a 2-3 kg range are more likely to maintain a healthy body
weight over the long term.
Facts You Should Know
Your WW scale is a precise measuring instrument that is most accurate when
weighing a stationary object. To ensure accurate readings, always try to stand on the
same area of the scale platform and DO NOT MOVE. Should the weight on the scale
exceed the scale’s capacity, you may see an error message “Err.”
Electronic sensors are sensitive. Be careful not to drop or jar the scale. Place it
gently onto a flat, even floor surface, avoiding carpet or uneven floor tiles for the
most accurate reading. Store where it will be protected from impact. The scale is
an electronic instrument and should never be submerged in water. Clean with damp
cloth and/or glass cleaner.
In the event that the scale batteries need to be replaced (display shows “Lo”),
remove the screw from the battery cover on the bottom of the scale and remove
the cover. Replace the old batteries with 3 new AAA alkaline batteries. Clean the
battery contacts and also those of the device prior to battery installation. Ensure the
batteries are installed correctly with regard to polarity, then replace the battery cover
and tighten the screw.
Remove batteries from equipment that is not to be used for an extended period of
time. Remove used batteries promptly.
Dispose of the old batteries properly. Remove batteries from equipment
that is not to be used for an extended period of time. Do not attempt to
open the scale or to remove any components. Servicing should be done by
qualified technicians only. See warranty information below.
Before Using Scale
Precautions For Use
CAUTION! Use of this device by persons with any electrical implant such
as a heart pacemaker, or by pregnant women, is not recommended.
1. Remove all packaging materials.
2. Remove the isolator tab from the battery compartment – without opening the
battery cover at the bottom of the scale, gently pull out the isolator tab. (In case the
tab cannot be pulled out, remove the screw from the battery cover and remove the
cover. Gently pull out the isolator tab. Ensure the battery is installed correctly. Replace
the battery cover and tighten the screw again).
3. Set switch on the base of the scale to measure in pounds (lbs), or kilograms (kg).
4. For best accuracy, place scale on tile or hardwood floor, rather than uneven,
flexible or soft flooring (such as carpet).
THE SCALE SHOULD NOT BE USED ON CARPET.
IMPORTANT!
• Your WW scale is a precise measuring instrument that is most accurate when
weighing a person standing still.
• To ensure accurate readings, always try to stand on the same area of the scale's
platform and DO NOT MOVE.
• Do not get on and off the scale repeatedly. Even a slight change in your position will
cause a different reading.
• Ensure the scale is on a flat, level surface.
• Do not keep moving the scale to a new location, as this too can cause different
readings. Try to keep it in the same place.
• It is best to measure yourself using the same scale, as readings can vary between
scales due to manufacturing tolerances.
• Do not place anything on the surface of the scale.
• This scale is designed for home use only and is not suitable for professional
purposes.
Personal Data Setting Mode
Weight Only Mode
Instructions for customising your WW Body Analysis Scale are provided. However,
the scale does not need to be programmed to operate as a simple weight scale.
To measure weight only:
1. Operate the scale on a secure flat floor.
2. Choose pounds (lb) or kilograms (kg) by switching the convertible switch on rear of
scale. When scale is on, the user can select desired unit of measurement.
3. Tap the scale in standby mode. The whole screen appears.
4. Wait until all digits light for 2 seconds and “0.00” appears.

• This scale is designed for home use only and is not suitable for professional pur-
poses.
When using electrical appliances, especially when children are present, basic safety
instructions should always be followed, including the following:
• Polythene bags over product or package may be dangerous. To avoid danger of
suffocation, keep this wrapper away from babies and children. This bag is not a
toy.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced

unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the
appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised
to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
Weight and Body Fat
How does it work?
While body fat can be measured in many ways, the method used in your scale is
bioelectrical impedance. This indirect method of determining body fat starts when
a safe and very low electrical current is sent through the lower half of the body. The
electrical current flows more quickly through water and muscle than it will through
bone and fat. The scale measures the speed of the current. Based on this number,
the scale estimates body fat using a multi-step, mathematical formula.
Is it accurate?
Measurements of body fat tend to fluctuate a lot more than simple weighing, and
different methods of estimating body fat yield very different results. Just as different
scales give different results, different body fat analysers can provide very different body
fat estimates. Even with the same scale the numbers will vary because:
• Weight loss tends to produce substantial, continuous, and unpredictable changes
in body water content. Because body fat analysis is determined by water content in
the body, results can vary considerably from day to day.
• Hydration status affects body fat results. If you’ve just worked out, there is less water
for the electrical current to flow through. This may result in a higher body fat result. In
the same way, if you measure your body fat after drinking a lot of fluid, it may appear
that body fat is lower than it really is.
• Skin temperature can have an influence also. Measuring body fat in warm humid
weather when skin is moist will yield a different result than if skin is cold and dry.
• As with weight, when your goal is to change body composition it is better to track
trends over time than to use individual daily results.
• Results may not be accurate for persons under the age of 16, or persons with an
elevated body temperature, diabetes or other health conditions.
What you need to know!
• Percent body fat refers to the number of kilograms of fat divided by your total body
weight and multiplied by 100.
• During weight loss, percent body fat doesn’t appear to be reduced as quickly as
expected because total weight loss and total body fat are decreasing at the same
time (for a more detailed explanation, see next section).
• Weight loss in the form of body fat and lean tissue (muscle) is common, and is
normal.
• To minimise the loss of lean tissue, include regular physical activity, especially
strength training and adequate protein foods in your weight-loss plan.
Why do I lose weight, but my body fat percentage doesn’t
change much?
Remember that your WW body fat monitor is showing your body fat as a percentage,
not as an absolute number of kilograms. At the beginning of a weight loss program,
a person may weigh 100 kg and show 30% body fat, equalling 30 kg of fat (30% of
100 kg = 30 kg). A few weeks later, the same person may have lost a substantial
amount of weight. Weight is now at 90 kg, yet body fat is still at 30%. Why? Did that
person not lose any fat? Yes, they did. At 90 kg with 30% body fat, the person now
has 27 kg of body fat (30% of 90 kg = 27 kg'), meaning that 3 kg of the total 10 kg
lost were fat. So, do not be overly concerned if your percentage of body fat does not
change despite the fact that you are losing weight. Remember, to minimise the loss
of lean tissue include regular physical activity, especially strength training. Remember,
to minimise the loss of lean tissue, include regular physical activity, especially strength
training and adequate protein foods in your weight-loss plan.
Body Water/Hydration Levels
General health standards indicate that one should consume approximately
2L of water per day from food and liquids to maintain a healthy level of hydration.
Maintaining a good hydration level will help improve your overall health and general
feeling of well-being. If your hydration levels are lower than average, you should
increase your water intake accordingly.
Body water/hydration level – how is it measured?
The hydration level is measured by using Bioelectric Impedance Analysis (BIA). The
same analysis that is used to calculate your body fat is used to calculate your hydration
level. Taking into consideration a user’s age and gender, a calculation is made that
determines the percentage of water.
Please note: It is not recommended to take the hydration measurements in certain
situations, such as following exercise, after drinking a glass of water, or directly prior
to, during or shortly after menstrual cycles. Hydration may not be at normal levels
during these times.
Bone Mass — What Is It?
Bone is a living, growing tissue. During youth, your body makes new bone tissue faster
than it breaks down older bone. In young adulthood, bone mass is at its peak; after
that, bone loss starts to outpace bone growth, and bone mass decreases. But it’s a
long and very slow process that can be slowed down even more through calcium-rich
diets and weight-bearing exercise.
Who should monitor bone mass?
Most people have no need to monitor bone mass, but certain groups – postmenopausal
women, men and women with certain diseases, and anyone who takes medications
that affect bone tissue – might want to watch for decreases in bone mass. The bone
mass reading is to be used as guide only. Watch for trends over time and contact
your healthcare provider for a more detailed explanation of the readings and with any
questions or concerns.

fluid consumption, before or after exercise, etc., when measuring body composi-
tion.
While a scale can be a useful tool on your weight loss journey, it’s not a

Important Information Concerning
Weight Management
Your scale is a helpful tool for monitoring weight. While not the only measure
of weight loss, scales are the most popular method used to gauge weight-loss
success. A scale measures the sum of your total body weight, which includes
bone, muscle, fat, and water.
Body weight fluctuates during the day, and from day to day,
depending on a variety of factors.
• Salt and carbohydrate intake can affect the body’s water retention.
• A large meal adds weight and can cause water retention.
• Dehydration from exercise, illness, or low fluid intake can result in weight loss.
• Muscle is also a factor. Resistance training can build muscle, which can affect
weight.
• The menstrual cycle can cause temporary gains and losses, mostly due to water
retention.
When You’re Losing Weight
It’s important not to put too much emphasis in the exact number on the scale,
because it can and will vary. This is especially true when you’re trying to lose
weight. Small weight gains and losses are common due to water fluctuations, and
also as your body adjusts to fewer kilojoules and more exercise. Your scale is a
valuable tool when used to track weight over a period of weeks and months. Be
aware that different scales often give different results. The scale at your doctor’s
office may show one weight, and your scale at home another. So don’t get too
caught up with a single number.
Try Not To Overdo It
We generally recommend weighing yourself no more than once a week when
you’re dieting. Though it’s hard to stick to this pattern, it’s the best way to prevent
unnecessary concern with normal weight fluctuations, which are unrelated to your
weight-loss efforts. Regardless of your weighing habits, it’s important that you’re
consistent.
Here are 6 rules for effectively monitoring your weight – weigh yourself:
• Once a week, on the same day of the week
• At the same time of day
• In the same place
• Wearing the same clothes
• Using the same scale
• On a flat, hard surface (avoid carpet or uneven tile flooring)
To keep track of your weight, record only one number for the week.
This will give you a clear picture of any trend your weight is following.
When You’re Maintaining Your Weight
Fluctuations in day-to-day weight tend to be smaller when weight is stable, so a
more frequent weigh-in pattern may be helpful. Also, research shows that people
who keep weight within a 2-3 kg range are more likely to maintain a healthy body
weight over the long term.
Facts You Should Know
Your WW scale is a precise measuring instrument that is most accurate when
weighing a stationary object. To ensure accurate readings, always try to stand on the
same area of the scale platform and DO NOT MOVE. Should the weight on the scale
exceed the scale’s capacity, you may see an error message “Err.”
Electronic sensors are sensitive. Be careful not to drop or jar the scale. Place it
gently onto a flat, even floor surface, avoiding carpet or uneven floor tiles for the
most accurate reading. Store where it will be protected from impact. The scale is
an electronic instrument and should never be submerged in water. Clean with damp
cloth and/or glass cleaner.
In the event that the scale batteries need to be replaced (display shows “Lo”),
remove the screw from the battery cover on the bottom of the scale and remove
the cover. Replace the old batteries with 3 new AAA alkaline batteries. Clean the
battery contacts and also those of the device prior to battery installation. Ensure the
batteries are installed correctly with regard to polarity, then replace the battery cover
and tighten the screw.
Remove batteries from equipment that is not to be used for an extended period of
time. Remove used batteries promptly.
Dispose of the old batteries properly. Remove batteries from equipment
that is not to be used for an extended period of time. Do not attempt to
open the scale or to remove any components. Servicing should be done by
qualified technicians only. See warranty information below.
Before Using Scale
Precautions For Use
CAUTION! Use of this device by persons with any electrical implant such
as a heart pacemaker, or by pregnant women, is not recommended.
1. Remove all packaging materials.
2. Remove the isolator tab from the battery compartment – without opening the
battery cover at the bottom of the scale, gently pull out the isolator tab. (In case the
tab cannot be pulled out, remove the screw from the battery cover and remove the
cover. Gently pull out the isolator tab. Ensure the battery is installed correctly. Replace
the battery cover and tighten the screw again).
3. Set switch on the base of the scale to measure in pounds (lbs), or kilograms (kg).
4. For best accuracy, place scale on tile or hardwood floor, rather than uneven,
flexible or soft flooring (such as carpet).
THE SCALE SHOULD NOT BE USED ON CARPET.
IMPORTANT!
• Your WW scale is a precise measuring instrument that is most accurate when
weighing a person standing still.
• To ensure accurate readings, always try to stand on the same area of the scale's
platform and DO NOT MOVE.
• Do not get on and off the scale repeatedly. Even a slight change in your position will
cause a different reading.
• Ensure the scale is on a flat, level surface.
• Do not keep moving the scale to a new location, as this too can cause different
readings. Try to keep it in the same place.
• It is best to measure yourself using the same scale, as readings can vary between
scales due to manufacturing tolerances.
• Do not place anything on the surface of the scale.
• This scale is designed for home use only and is not suitable for professional
purposes.
Personal Data Setting Mode
Weight Only Mode
Instructions for customising your WW Body Analysis Scale are provided. However,
the scale does not need to be programmed to operate as a simple weight scale.
To measure weight only:
1. Operate the scale on a secure flat floor.
2. Choose pounds (lb) or kilograms (kg) by switching the convertible switch on rear of
scale. When scale is on, the user can select desired unit of measurement.
3. Tap the scale in standby mode. The whole screen appears.
4. Wait until all digits light for 2 seconds and “0.00” appears.

3. Set switch on the base of the scale to measure in pounds (lbs), or kilograms (kg).
4. For best accuracy, place scale on tile or hardwood floor, rather than uneven,
flexible or soft flooring (such as carpet).
THE SCALE SHOULD NOT BE USED ON CARPET.
IMPORTANT!
• Your WW scale is a precise measuring instrument that is most accurate when
weighing a person standing still.
• To ensure accurate readings, always try to stand on the same area of the scale's
platform and DO NOT MOVE.
• Do not get on and off the scale repeatedly. Even a slight change in your position will
cause a different reading.
• Ensure the scale is on a flat, level surface.
• Do not keep moving the scale to a new location, as this too can cause different
readings. Try to keep it in the same place.
• It is best to measure yourself using the same scale, as readings can vary between
scales due to manufacturing tolerances.
• Do not place anything on the surface of the scale.
• This scale is designed for home use only and is not suitable for professional
purposes.
Personal Data Setting Mode
Weight Only Mode
Instructions for customising your WW Body Analysis Scale are provided. However,
the scale does not need to be programmed to operate as a simple weight scale.
To measure weight only:
1. Operate the scale on a secure flat floor.
2. Choose pounds (lb) or kilograms (kg) by switching the convertible switch on rear of
scale. When scale is on, the user can select desired unit of measurement.
3. Tap the scale in standby mode. The whole screen appears.
4. Wait until all digits light for 2 seconds and “0.00” appears.
Weight and Body Fat
How does it work?
While body fat can be measured in many ways, the method used in your scale is
bioelectrical impedance. This indirect method of determining body fat starts when
a safe and very low electrical current is sent through the lower half of the body. The
electrical current flows more quickly through water and muscle than it will through
bone and fat. The scale measures the speed of the current. Based on this number,
the scale estimates body fat using a multi-step, mathematical formula.
Is it accurate?
Measurements of body fat tend to fluctuate a lot more than simple weighing, and
different methods of estimating body fat yield very different results. Just as different
scales give different results, different body fat analysers can provide very different body
fat estimates. Even with the same scale the numbers will vary because:
• Weight loss tends to produce substantial, continuous, and unpredictable changes
in body water content. Because body fat analysis is determined by water content in
the body, results can vary considerably from day to day.
• Hydration status affects body fat results. If you’ve just worked out, there is less water
for the electrical current to flow through. This may result in a higher body fat result. In
the same way, if you measure your body fat after drinking a lot of fluid, it may appear
that body fat is lower than it really is.
• Skin temperature can have an influence also. Measuring body fat in warm humid
weather when skin is moist will yield a different result than if skin is cold and dry.
• As with weight, when your goal is to change body composition it is better to track
trends over time than to use individual daily results.
• Results may not be accurate for persons under the age of 16, or persons with an
elevated body temperature, diabetes or other health conditions.
What you need to know!
• Percent body fat refers to the number of kilograms of fat divided by your total body
weight and multiplied by 100.
• During weight loss, percent body fat doesn’t appear to be reduced as quickly as
expected because total weight loss and total body fat are decreasing at the same
time (for a more detailed explanation, see next section).
• Weight loss in the form of body fat and lean tissue (muscle) is common, and is
normal.
• To minimise the loss of lean tissue, include regular physical activity, especially
strength training and adequate protein foods in your weight-loss plan.
Why do I lose weight, but my body fat percentage doesn’t
change much?
Remember that your WW body fat monitor is showing your body fat as a percentage,
not as an absolute number of kilograms. At the beginning of a weight loss program,
a person may weigh 100 kg and show 30% body fat, equalling 30 kg of fat (30% of
100 kg = 30 kg). A few weeks later, the same person may have lost a substantial
amount of weight. Weight is now at 90 kg, yet body fat is still at 30%. Why? Did that
person not lose any fat? Yes, they did. At 90 kg with 30% body fat, the person now
has 27 kg of body fat (30% of 90 kg = 27 kg'), meaning that 3 kg of the total 10 kg
lost were fat. So, do not be overly concerned if your percentage of body fat does not
change despite the fact that you are losing weight. Remember, to minimise the loss
of lean tissue include regular physical activity, especially strength training. Remember,
to minimise the loss of lean tissue, include regular physical activity, especially strength
training and adequate protein foods in your weight-loss plan.
Body Water/Hydration Levels
General health standards indicate that one should consume approximately
2L of water per day from food and liquids to maintain a healthy level of hydration.
Maintaining a good hydration level will help improve your overall health and general
feeling of well-being. If your hydration levels are lower than average, you should
increase your water intake accordingly.
Body water/hydration level – how is it measured?
The hydration level is measured by using Bioelectric Impedance Analysis (BIA). The
same analysis that is used to calculate your body fat is used to calculate your hydration
level. Taking into consideration a user’s age and gender, a calculation is made that
determines the percentage of water.
Please note: It is not recommended to take the hydration measurements in certain
situations, such as following exercise, after drinking a glass of water, or directly prior
to, during or shortly after menstrual cycles. Hydration may not be at normal levels
during these times.
Bone Mass — What Is It?
Bone is a living, growing tissue. During youth, your body makes new bone tissue faster
than it breaks down older bone. In young adulthood, bone mass is at its peak; after
that, bone loss starts to outpace bone growth, and bone mass decreases. But it’s a
long and very slow process that can be slowed down even more through calcium-rich
diets and weight-bearing exercise.
Who should monitor bone mass?
Most people have no need to monitor bone mass, but certain groups – postmenopausal
women, men and women with certain diseases, and anyone who takes medications
that affect bone tissue – might want to watch for decreases in bone mass. The bone
mass reading is to be used as guide only. Watch for trends over time and contact
your healthcare provider for a more detailed explanation of the readings and with any
questions or concerns.

Important Information Concerning
Weight Management
Your scale is a helpful tool for monitoring weight. While not the only measure
of weight loss, scales are the most popular method used to gauge weight-loss
success. A scale measures the sum of your total body weight, which includes
bone, muscle, fat, and water.
Body weight fluctuates during the day, and from day to day,
depending on a variety of factors.
• Salt and carbohydrate intake can affect the body’s water retention.
• A large meal adds weight and can cause water retention.
• Dehydration from exercise, illness, or low fluid intake can result in weight loss.
• Muscle is also a factor. Resistance training can build muscle, which can affect
weight.
• The menstrual cycle can cause temporary gains and losses, mostly due to water
retention.
When You’re Losing Weight
It’s important not to put too much emphasis in the exact number on the scale,
because it can and will vary. This is especially true when you’re trying to lose
weight. Small weight gains and losses are common due to water fluctuations, and
also as your body adjusts to fewer kilojoules and more exercise. Your scale is a
valuable tool when used to track weight over a period of weeks and months. Be
aware that different scales often give different results. The scale at your doctor’s
office may show one weight, and your scale at home another. So don’t get too
caught up with a single number.
Try Not To Overdo It
We generally recommend weighing yourself no more than once a week when
you’re dieting. Though it’s hard to stick to this pattern, it’s the best way to prevent
unnecessary concern with normal weight fluctuations, which are unrelated to your
weight-loss efforts. Regardless of your weighing habits, it’s important that you’re
consistent.
Here are 6 rules for effectively monitoring your weight – weigh yourself:
• Once a week, on the same day of the week
• At the same time of day
• In the same place
• Wearing the same clothes
• Using the same scale
• On a flat, hard surface (avoid carpet or uneven tile flooring)
To keep track of your weight, record only one number for the week.
This will give you a clear picture of any trend your weight is following.
When You’re Maintaining Your Weight
Fluctuations in day-to-day weight tend to be smaller when weight is stable, so a
more frequent weigh-in pattern may be helpful. Also, research shows that people
who keep weight within a 2-3 kg range are more likely to maintain a healthy body
weight over the long term.
Facts You Should Know
Your WW scale is a precise measuring instrument that is most accurate when
weighing a stationary object. To ensure accurate readings, always try to stand on the
same area of the scale platform and DO NOT MOVE. Should the weight on the scale
exceed the scale’s capacity, you may see an error message “Err.”
Electronic sensors are sensitive. Be careful not to drop or jar the scale. Place it
gently onto a flat, even floor surface, avoiding carpet or uneven floor tiles for the
most accurate reading. Store where it will be protected from impact. The scale is
an electronic instrument and should never be submerged in water. Clean with damp
cloth and/or glass cleaner.
In the event that the scale batteries need to be replaced (display shows “Lo”),
remove the screw from the battery cover on the bottom of the scale and remove
the cover. Replace the old batteries with 3 new AAA alkaline batteries. Clean the
battery contacts and also those of the device prior to battery installation. Ensure the
batteries are installed correctly with regard to polarity, then replace the battery cover
and tighten the screw.
Remove batteries from equipment that is not to be used for an extended period of
time. Remove used batteries promptly.
Dispose of the old batteries properly. Remove batteries from equipment
that is not to be used for an extended period of time. Do not attempt to
open the scale or to remove any components. Servicing should be done by
qualified technicians only. See warranty information below.
Before Using Scale
Precautions For Use

bioelectrical impedance. This indirect method of determining body fat starts when
a safe and very low electrical current is sent through the lower half of the body. The
electrical current flows more quickly through water and muscle than it will through
bone and fat. The scale measures the speed of the current. Based on this number,
the scale estimates body fat using a multi-step, mathematical formula.
Is it accurate?
Measurements of body fat tend to fluctuate a lot more than simple weighing, and
different methods of estimating body fat yield very different results. Just as different
scales give different results, different body fat analysers can provide very different body
fat estimates. Even with the same scale the numbers will vary because:
• Weight loss tends to produce substantial, continuous, and unpredictable changes
in body water content. Because body fat analysis is determined by water content in
the body, results can vary considerably from day to day.
• Hydration status affects body fat results. If you’ve just worked out, there is less water
for the electrical current to flow through. This may result in a higher body fat result. In
the same way, if you measure your body fat after drinking a lot of fluid, it may appear
that body fat is lower than it really is.
• Skin temperature can have an influence also. Measuring body fat in warm humid
weather when skin is moist will yield a different result than if skin is cold and dry.
• As with weight, when your goal is to change body composition it is better to track
trends over time than to use individual daily results.
• Results may not be accurate for persons under the age of 16, or persons with an
elevated body temperature, diabetes or other health conditions.
What you need to know!
• Percent body fat refers to the number of kilograms of fat divided by your total body
weight and multiplied by 100.
• During weight loss, percent body fat doesn’t appear to be reduced as quickly as
expected because total weight loss and total body fat are decreasing at the same
time (for a more detailed explanation, see next section).
• Weight loss in the form of body fat and lean tissue (muscle) is common, and is
normal.
• To minimise the loss of lean tissue, include regular physical activity, especially
strength training and adequate protein foods in your weight-loss plan.
Why do I lose weight, but my body fat percentage doesn’t
change much?
Remember that your WW body fat monitor is showing your body fat as a percentage,
not as an absolute number of kilograms. At the beginning of a weight loss program,
a person may weigh 100 kg and show 30% body fat, equalling 30 kg of fat (30% of
100 kg = 30 kg). A few weeks later, the same person may have lost a substantial
amount of weight. Weight is now at 90 kg, yet body fat is still at 30%. Why? Did that
person not lose any fat? Yes, they did. At 90 kg with 30% body fat, the person now
has 27 kg of body fat (30% of 90 kg = 27 kg'), meaning that 3 kg of the total 10 kg
lost were fat. So, do not be overly concerned if your percentage of body fat does not
change despite the fact that you are losing weight. Remember, to minimise the loss
of lean tissue include regular physical activity, especially strength training. Remember,
to minimise the loss of lean tissue, include regular physical activity, especially strength
training and adequate protein foods in your weight-loss plan.
Body Water/Hydration Levels
General health standards indicate that one should consume approximately
2L of water per day from food and liquids to maintain a healthy level of hydration.
Maintaining a good hydration level will help improve your overall health and general
feeling of well-being. If your hydration levels are lower than average, you should
increase your water intake accordingly.
Body water/hydration level – how is it measured?
The hydration level is measured by using Bioelectric Impedance Analysis (BIA). The
same analysis that is used to calculate your body fat is used to calculate your hydration
level. Taking into consideration a user’s age and gender, a calculation is made that
determines the percentage of water.
Please note: It is not recommended to take the hydration measurements in certain
situations, such as following exercise, after drinking a glass of water, or directly prior
to, during or shortly after menstrual cycles. Hydration may not be at normal levels
during these times.
Bone Mass — What Is It?
Bone is a living, growing tissue. During youth, your body makes new bone tissue faster
than it breaks down older bone. In young adulthood, bone mass is at its peak; after
that, bone loss starts to outpace bone growth, and bone mass decreases. But it’s a
long and very slow process that can be slowed down even more through calcium-rich
diets and weight-bearing exercise.
Who should monitor bone mass?
Most people have no need to monitor bone mass, but certain groups – postmenopausal
women, men and women with certain diseases, and anyone who takes medications
that affect bone tissue – might want to watch for decreases in bone mass. The bone
mass reading is to be used as guide only. Watch for trends over time and contact
your healthcare provider for a more detailed explanation of the readings and with any
questions or concerns.

Make the most of it!
To summarise, make the most of the body analysis feature by:
• Tracking change over time and not day to day.
• Using the same scale as much as possible.
• Being consistent the time of day, day of the week, time before or after food and
fluid consumption, before or after exercise, etc., when measuring body composi-
tion.
While a scale can be a useful tool on your weight loss journey, it’s not a
complete program for losing weight.

Important Information Concerning
Weight Management
Your scale is a helpful tool for monitoring weight. While not the only measure
of weight loss, scales are the most popular method used to gauge weight-loss
success. A scale measures the sum of your total body weight, which includes
bone, muscle, fat, and water.
Body weight fluctuates during the day, and from day to day,
depending on a variety of factors.
• Salt and carbohydrate intake can affect the body’s water retention.
• A large meal adds weight and can cause water retention.
• Dehydration from exercise, illness, or low fluid intake can result in weight loss.
• Muscle is also a factor. Resistance training can build muscle, which can affect
weight.
• The menstrual cycle can cause temporary gains and losses, mostly due to water
retention.
When You’re Losing Weight
It’s important not to put too much emphasis in the exact number on the scale,
because it can and will vary. This is especially true when you’re trying to lose
weight. Small weight gains and losses are common due to water fluctuations, and
also as your body adjusts to fewer kilojoules and more exercise. Your scale is a
valuable tool when used to track weight over a period of weeks and months. Be
aware that different scales often give different results. The scale at your doctor’s
office may show one weight, and your scale at home another. So don’t get too
caught up with a single number.
Try Not To Overdo It
We generally recommend weighing yourself no more than once a week when
you’re dieting. Though it’s hard to stick to this pattern, it’s the best way to prevent
unnecessary concern with normal weight fluctuations, which are unrelated to your
weight-loss efforts. Regardless of your weighing habits, it’s important that you’re
consistent.
Here are 6 rules for effectively monitoring your weight – weigh yourself:
• Once a week, on the same day of the week
• At the same time of day
• In the same place
• Wearing the same clothes
• Using the same scale
• On a flat, hard surface (avoid carpet or uneven tile flooring)
To keep track of your weight, record only one number for the week.
This will give you a clear picture of any trend your weight is following.
When You’re Maintaining Your Weight
Fluctuations in day-to-day weight tend to be smaller when weight is stable, so a
more frequent weigh-in pattern may be helpful. Also, research shows that people
who keep weight within a 2-3 kg range are more likely to maintain a healthy body
weight over the long term.
Facts You Should Know
Your WW scale is a precise measuring instrument that is most accurate when
weighing a stationary object. To ensure accurate readings, always try to stand on the
same area of the scale platform and DO NOT MOVE. Should the weight on the scale
exceed the scale’s capacity, you may see an error message “Err.”
Electronic sensors are sensitive. Be careful not to drop or jar the scale. Place it
gently onto a flat, even floor surface, avoiding carpet or uneven floor tiles for the
most accurate reading. Store where it will be protected from impact. The scale is
an electronic instrument and should never be submerged in water. Clean with damp
cloth and/or glass cleaner.
In the event that the scale batteries need to be replaced (display shows “Lo”),
remove the screw from the battery cover on the bottom of the scale and remove
the cover. Replace the old batteries with 3 new AAA alkaline batteries. Clean the
battery contacts and also those of the device prior to battery installation. Ensure the
batteries are installed correctly with regard to polarity, then replace the battery cover
and tighten the screw.
Remove batteries from equipment that is not to be used for an extended period of
time. Remove used batteries promptly.
Dispose of the old batteries properly. Remove batteries from equipment
that is not to be used for an extended period of time. Do not attempt to
open the scale or to remove any components. Servicing should be done by
qualified technicians only. See warranty information below.
Before Using Scale
Precautions For Use
CAUTION! Use of this device by persons with any electrical implant such
as a heart pacemaker, or by pregnant women, is not recommended.
1. Remove all packaging materials.
2. Remove the isolator tab from the battery compartment – without opening the
battery cover at the bottom of the scale, gently pull out the isolator tab. (In case the
tab cannot be pulled out, remove the screw from the battery cover and remove the
cover. Gently pull out the isolator tab. Ensure the battery is installed correctly. Replace
the battery cover and tighten the screw again).
3. Set switch on the base of the scale to measure in pounds (lbs), or kilograms (kg).
4. For best accuracy, place scale on tile or hardwood floor, rather than uneven,
flexible or soft flooring (such as carpet).
THE SCALE SHOULD NOT BE USED ON CARPET.
IMPORTANT!
• Your WW scale is a precise measuring instrument that is most accurate when
weighing a person standing still.
• To ensure accurate readings, always try to stand on the same area of the scale's
platform and DO NOT MOVE.
• Do not get on and off the scale repeatedly. Even a slight change in your position will
cause a different reading.
• Ensure the scale is on a flat, level surface.
• Do not keep moving the scale to a new location, as this too can cause different
readings. Try to keep it in the same place.
• It is best to measure yourself using the same scale, as readings can vary between
scales due to manufacturing tolerances.
• Do not place anything on the surface of the scale.
• This scale is designed for home use only and is not suitable for professional
purposes.
