REMINDER:
The scale needs to be initialized and calibrated after battery
installation or after the scale is moved. At all other times, you may directly proceed
with the following instructions for programming your personal data into the scale.
To initialize the scale, press firmly on the scale platform while the scale is on. The
scale will turn on and automatically turn off. Your scale is now ready for use.
BMI is a ratio between height and weight. It is a fairly reliable indicator of body fat for
most adults. BMI is an inexpensive alternative to direct measurements of body fat, such
as underwater weighing, but it is only one of many factors that you and your health-care
provider should use in evaluating your health status.

CalPal™ and BMI Operation
In order for your CalPal™ scale to estimate calories and compute your BMI number,
you must first enter your gender, height, age, and an activity level selection. The scale
uses these factors to calculate your results. Onscreen prompts will lead you through
programming your personal information into the scale. The scale will then use this data
to compute your results.
This scale has 4 personal memory numbers (P1-P4). In order to estimate calories
and compute BMI, you must first save your gender, height, age, and an activity
level selection into memory. The scale will then use these factors to calculate your
CalPal™ and BMI results.
You will store your data into memory before first use, thus eliminating the need to
enter your personal information before each reading. With the scale turned off…
