"Alright you have all of these gadgets and tools and buggies and bugs and diamonds and pearls and all that good thing. But you actually have good tools that you have to take care of. And it's not going to be enough to shove them in a draw or toss them to the side and you definitely don't want to keep them in the trunk of your car. So let's look over some of the things and say how do I take care of them. Your scale again, this one isn't for children to play on and you really don't want people to have shoes on when they use it. But keep it maybe in your master bedroom or your private bedroom area. Keep it away from water, your feet can be moist, that's ok, but you don't want it to be inundated or splashed with water all the time or stepped on with shoes. So keep it in a special place and use it accordingly. There should be an opening for batteries and as you can see they're double A, whatever brand you like keep then handy and make sure you place those or replace those as needed. With the Omcron scale the same thing, you don't want to have it just laying out-it's not a toy. So that's going to be important for the little ones not have a grip on this too much. You want to keep it in a safe place. I'm a fan of keeping it in the box you actually had it in, especially if it's a small one that you won't use as often. If not place it on a shelf, keep it in a cool place the same way you would keep, treat your computer or anything else. And batteries as well. This should be triple A batteries, so that's what you would use to charge that up. As far as for smaller ones the body fat monitors are the heart rate monitors you can use these pretty much like a watch. And you can wear them even when you are not trying to track your heart rate. So it's pretty easy keep it in your jewelry box or near by wherever you would have bracelets or sports watch. And your Accu Measure, very easy, this is like the most hardcore out of all the tools because it's easy to use it can be tossed around. The plastic is sturdy and it doesn't take batteries so that's easy and you won't have to replenish that any time. And the pedometers pretty nice in size. I would put this on a shelf or in a draw and just make sure that they don't have to much water exposure, too much heat exposure. And the batteries for these really aren't the regular kind, but you can find them probably where you can find a watch battery or a battery for a small clock. Alright, that's it, store them, charge them and definitely use them. "
