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.

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.
