Safety Precautions

Persons with implanted electronic medical equipment, such as a pacemaker, should not use the Body Fat Monitor feature on this Tanita Body Fat Monitor/Scale. This Body Fat Monitor/Scale passes a low-level electrical signal through the body, which may interfere with the operation of a pacemaker.

The Tanita Body Fat Monitor/Scales are intended for home use only. This unit is not intended for professional use in hospitals or other medical facilities; it is not equipped with the quality standards required for heavy usage experienced under professional conditions.

Do not use this unit on slippery surfaces such as wet floors.

Important Notes for Users

This Body fat monitor is intended for adults and children (ages 7-17) with inactive to moderately active lifestyles and adults with athletic body types.

Tanita defines “athlete” as a person involved in intense physical activity of approximately 10 hours per week and who has a resting heart rate of approximately 60 beats per minute or less. Tanita’s athlete definition includes “lifetime of fitness” individuals who have been fit for years but currently exercise less than 10 hours per week.

Note: Body fat percentage estimates will vary with the amount of water in the body, and can be affected by dehydration or over-hydration due to such factors as alcohol consumption, menstruation, illness, intense exercise, etc.

The body fat monitor function is not intended for pregnant women, professional athletes or bodybuilders.

Recorded data may be lost if the unit is used incorrectly or is exposed to electrical power surges. Tanita takes no responsibility for any kind of loss caused by the loss of recorded data.
