Setting and Storing Personal Data in Memory

The body fat function of the BF-572 can be operated only if personal data (Adult/Athlete/Child, Female/Male and Height) has been preprogrammed into at least one of the four Personal Keys.

1. Turn on the Power

When programming data, press to turn the unit on (once pro- grammed, tapping a Personal Key turns the unit on). The unit will beep to confirm activation, the Personal Key numbers (“1234”) will be displayed, an arrow icon will appear in the lower right corner, and the display will flash.

2. Select a Personal Key

Press to select a Personal Key (pressing once will activate Personal Key number 1, pressing twice will activate Key number 2, etc.). Once you reach the Personal Key number that you

wish to use, press . (During programming, the unit will beep

once each time you press .)

SET

The unit will beep twice and the display will flash all data (Adult/ Athlete/Child, Female/Male and Height) for three seconds to confirm the programming. The power will then automatically shut off.

Note: As you enter data, or while the display flashes the personal settings, we recommend that you check for any mistakes, such as an incorrect height setting. If you find that you have made a mistake, tap the Weight-Only Key while the display is flashing. The unit will automatically shut off and will cancel any data that you entered at that time.

Reprogramming a Personal Key

From time to time, you may need to adjust the data stored in a Personal Key.

•The most common need for this would be to allow a new user or a guest to obtain readings, even though all four Personal Keys already contain data.

3. Select Adult, Athlete or Child Mode.

Use to specify Adult, Athlete or Child, then press.

–To add a new or guest user and erase the data of a previous user, repeat the Steps 1 through 5 of Setting and Storing Personal Data in Memory. After you have entered the new data, “Clear”

will appear and flash on the display (the unit is asking if it is

OK to delete the previous user’s data). Press once more. “Clear” will be displayed for three seconds. The display will then flash all the new data to confirm programming, and the power will shut off automatically.

Warning: All previous data and readings for the previous user of the selected Personal Key will be erased, including Graph data.

•You may also need to change your personal data if your height has changed, or if you need to change the user mode for your readings (from Adult to Athlete or vice versa, or when a teenager needs to start using the Adult mode). In these cases you can reprogram a Personal Key without erasing the data stored in the Graph.

–To make any of the above changes, repeat Steps 1 through 5, of Setting and Storing Personal Data in Memory. The unit will beep, the display will flash the new data, and the unit will shut off automatically. The previously stored Graph results for the Personal Key will still be stored.

Note: Graph readings will not remain stored if you reprogram a Personal Key from Adult to Child, or try to change the gender. The previous readings (for that reprogrammed Personal Key) stored in the Graph will be erased.
