Health O Meter Digital Measuring Tape Help

Options
Does anyone have the directions for the Health O Meter Digital Measuring tape http://a.co/0h8UYZ9 ? Also, any tips on how to measure accurately? I took my measurements 3 weeks ago and then again today. The numbers look way off! It doesn't seem accurate to me. Thanks in advance for your help!

    This one (Clicky link - PDF file)?

    Remember that the tape needs to be fully retracted before you turn on the power (to establish a proper zero for the tape).

    Personally, I've never been a fan of these digital tapes, and rely on a self tensioning tape similar to this one (link to "Perfect Waist Tapes") that can be ordered online or had from a local sewing shop for about $2-USD. Again, just my thinking, but the digital tapes that I've played with had issues maintaining their "zero" and also kinda 'slipped' and under-counted frequently.
