5.3 Setting up device
To achieve accurate measured results, the floor at the setup location must be
level and stable. Soft floors (wooden boards, for example) give under the pa-
tient's weight and falsify the measured result.
1. Place the device on a firm, level surface.
2. Only for devices with an ultrasonic measuring rod: Mark the area shown in
the illustration using colored adhesive tape, for example.
