HOW BMI WORKS:
The scale will calculate your BMI based on your height and weight.
Once you input your height into the scale and step on the platform, the scale
will display your weight and your BMI number.

exercise program.

USING YOUR CAL-MAX™ SCALE
In order for your Cal-Max™ scale to estimate your calories and compute
your BMI number, you must first enter your height, age, gender and an
activity level selection. The scale uses these factors to calculate your results.
Onscreen prompts will lead you through programming your personal infor-
mation into the scale. The analyzer will then use this data to compute your
results.
REMINDER: The scale needs to be initialized after battery installation. The
scale may also need to be initialized if it is moved or bumped. At all other
times, you may directly proceed with the following instructions for program-
ming your personal data into the scale.
To initialize the scale, simply press lightly on the scale platform. The display
will turn on and off. Your scale is now ready for use.
HOW TO ENTER PERSONAL DATA INTO MEMORY
This scale has 12 personal memory numbers (1-12). There is also a Guest
option for one time use (appears as GUES onscreen). In order to estimate
calories and compute BMI, you must first save your height, age, gender and
an activity level selection into memory. The scale will then use these factors
to calculate your Cal-Max 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. (Note: the
Guest option does not store the data). To enter your data into memory:
