REPLACING THE BATTERIES

When the batteries run low, the “Lo” message will appear on the display window. When this message appears, be sure to replace the batteries immediately, since weak batteries will affect the accuracy of your measurements. Change all the batteries at the same time with new AA-size batteries. The unit comes with trial batteries – their service life may be short.

Note: Your settings will not be erased from the memory when you remove the batteries.

BF-559, BF-558 specifications

The Tanita BF-558 and BF-559 are advanced body composition monitors renowned for their accuracy and comprehensive health tracking capabilities. Designed to provide users with in-depth insights into their body composition, these models cater to both fitness enthusiasts and those seeking a deeper understanding of their health metrics.

One of the standout features of the Tanita BF-558 and BF-559 is their ability to measure not just weight but several key components of body composition. Users can obtain readings for body fat percentage, muscle mass, total body water, and even bone mass. This holistic view of body composition helps users track their fitness progress and make informed decisions regarding their health and wellness.

Both models utilize Tanita's proprietary Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) technology. This cutting-edge technology sends a small, harmless electrical current through the body to analyze differences in resistance. As fat, muscle, and water conduct electricity differently, the devices provide accurate readings of various body metrics. This process is quick and non-invasive, making it convenient for daily use.

This feature enhances the user experience, enabling individuals to track their progress over time and set achievable health goals.

User profiles are another valuable feature of these models. The BF-558 allows for the storage of multiple user profiles, accommodating family members or roommates wishing to track their wellness independently. The BF-559 goes a step further, supporting up to 8 unique user profiles, making it an ideal choice for larger households.

In terms of design, both the BF-558 and BF-559 are sleek and modern, fitting seamlessly into any home environment. Their sturdy construction and durable materials ensure longevity, even with regular use.

Ultimately, the Tanita BF-558 and BF-559 stand out as powerful tools for anyone looking to take control of their health. By combining precision engineering with user-friendly features, these body composition monitors make achieving personal health and fitness goals more attainable than ever.
