Indications for Use

• The Kogan SmarterHome Wi-Fi Body Composition Smart Scale measures weight and uses bio-electrical impedance analysis (BIA) technology to estimate body fat in generally healthy children (10-17 years old) and healthy adults.
• It is intended for use in the domestic setting only.

Tips

• To ensure the accuracy of measurement, please follow below instructions when you start.
• Place the scale on a flat, hard surface. Soft surfaces such as carpet will affect the performance of the scale.
• Step onto the platform with bare feet. Stand still and keep full contact with the electrodes until the measurement is complete.
• Start the measurement at least two hours after getting up or dining.
• Avoid measurement immediately after strenuous exercise, sauna or bath, drinking or dining.
• Always start measurement in the same time slot and on the same scale located on the same flat, hard surface.
• For maximum accuracy and repeatability, it is recommended that you should use the device in the same time of the day and on the same location.
• Body fat percentage estimates will vary with the amount of water in the body and can be affected by dehydration or over-hydration due to factors such as alcohol consumption, menstruation, illness, intense exercise, etc.
• 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.
• If you are having a problem with operating this scale, please contact customer service.

Initial Start-Up

 

General Instructions

This scale applies BIA (Bio-impedance Analysis) technology. A small amount of weak current flows through the human body to detect the bio-impedance and estimate body fat. The electrical current is small and may not be felt.

This BIA technology is cheap, safe, non-invasive, toxic-free and harmless. It also possesses the characteristics of simple operation and abundant information.

The current mentioned above is less than 0.5mA. However, please be aware that anyone with a wearable or implantable medical electronic instrument, such as a pacemaker, must avoid using this device.

The intended use of this device is for healthy children 10-17 years old, and healthy adults.

 

Inserting the Batteries

• Open the battery door in the back of the scale.
• Remove insulating strip from beneath the battery (if fitted) or insert batteries (3 x 1.5V AAA) observing the polarity signs (+ and -) inside the battery compartment.
• Close the battery door and wait until the digits "0.0kg" is shown on the LCD.
