How do I Set the HoMedics HealthStation Glass Body Fat Scale?

The HoMedics HealthStation glass body fat scale measures body weight and uses Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) to measure body fat. With BIA, the scale sends a safe jolt of electricity through your body and approximates your body's impedance, fat percentage and muscle mass. Your HoMedics HealthStation scale will not operate correctly if you fail to follow the proper setup procedure.
