UNDERSTANDING YOUR RESULTS Body Fat - What does it mean? The human body is made up of, amongst other things, a percentage of fat. This is vital for a healthy, functioning body - it cushions joints and protects vital organs, helps regulate body temperature, stores vitamins and helps the body sustain itself when food is scarce. However, too much body fat or indeed too little body fat can be damaging to your health.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS How exactly is my body fat and water being measured? The Salter MiBody uses a measurement method known as Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA). A minute current is sent through your body, via your feet and legs. This current flows easily through the lean muscular tissue, which has a high fluid content, but not easily through fat. Therefore, by measuring your body’s impedance (i.e. its resistance to the current), the quantity of muscle can be determined.
TROUBLESHOOTING • • You must have bare feet when taking body fat measurements. The condition of your skin on the bottom of your feet can affect the reading. To get the most accurate and consistent reading, wipe your feet with a damp cloth, leaving them slightly moist before stepping on the scale. WARNING INDICATORS Replace battery. Out of range, incorrect operation or poor feet contact. Unstable weight. Stand still. Weight exceeds maximum capacity. User memory full.
