USEFUL FEATURES

•Tanita Body Fat Monitor/Scales allow you to measure both weight and body fat percentage simultaneously and easily, simply by stepping on a scale.

•Your Body Fat Monitor/Scale can be set for Adults or Children (ages 7-17), Male or Female.

•Personal data (Female/Male, Age, Height) can be pre-set and stored in personal data memories.

•Guest feature allows you to take readings without reprogramming one of the Personal keys.

•The unit emits a helpful “beep” when activated, and also at various stages in the programming and measuring process. Listen for these sounds which will prompt you to step on the unit, look at your readings, or confirm a setting.

SWITCHING THE WEIGHT MODE Note: For use only with models containing the weight mode switch

You can switch the unit indication by using the switch on the back of the scale as shown in the figure.

Note: If weight mode is set to pounds or stone-pounds, the height programming mode will be automatically set to feet and inches. Similarly, if kilograms is selected, height will be automatically set to centimetres.

AUTOMATIC SHUT-DOWN FUNCTION

The automatic shut-down function shuts off the power automatically in the following cases:

•If you interrupt the measurement process. The power will shut down automatically within 10 to 20 seconds, depending upon the type of operation.

•If an extraordinary weight is applied to the platform.

•If you make a mistake during measurement or a key or button operation.

•During programming, if you do not touch any of the keys or buttons within 60 seconds.

•After you have completed the measuring process.

Note: If the power shuts off automatically, repeat the steps from “Setting and Storing Data in Memory” (p.6).

HOW TO DETERMINE BODY FAT PERCENTAGE

Setting and Storing Data in Memory

The unit can be operated only if data has been programmed into one of the personal data memories or the Guest mode.

1. Turn on the Power

Press the Set button to turn on the unit. The unit will beep to confirm activation, the Personal data number will be displayed, and the display will flash.

Note: If you don’t operate the unit for sixty seconds after the unit has been turned on, the unit will turn off automatically.

2. Select a Personal data Number

Press the Up/Down buttons to select a Personal data number.

Once you reach the Personal data number you wish to use, press the Set button.

The unit will beep once to confirm.

3. Set Age

The display defaults to Age 30 (range of user age is between 7-99).

An arrow icon appears on the lower left side to indicate Age setting.

Use the Up/Down buttons to scroll through numbers.

When you reach your age, press the Set button.

The unit will beep once to confirm.

4. Select Female or Male

Use the Up/Down buttons to scroll through Female ( ), Male ( ) settings, then press the Set button. The unit will beep once to confirm.

5. Specify the Height

The display defaults to 5’ 7.0” (170cm) (range of user is from 3’ 4.0” – 7’ 3.0” or 100cm – 220cm). Use the Up/Down buttons to specify Height and then press the Set button.

The unit will beep twice and the display will flash all data (Male/Female, Age, Height.) three times to confirm the programming.

The power will then shut down automatically.

Note: An accurate reading will not be possible if the soles of your feet are not clean, or if your knees are bent or you are in a sitting position.

To ensure accuracy, readings should be taken without clothing and under consistent conditions of hydration. If you do not undress, always remove your socks or stockings, and be sure the soles of your feet are clean before stepping on the measuring platform. Be sure that your heels are correctly aligned with the electrodes on the measuring platform. Don’t worry if your feet appear too large for the unit - accurate readings can still be obtained if your toes overhang the platform.

It is best to take readings at the same time of day. Try to wait about three hours after rising, eating, or hard exercise before taking measurements. While readings taken under other conditions may not have the same absolute values, they are accurate for determining the percentage of change as long as the readings are taken in a consistent manner. To monitor progress, compare weight and body fat percentage taken under the same conditions over a period of time.
