How Does the Cal-Max™ Function Work?

The Cal-Max™ function uses your gender, height and age to calculate the estimated number of calories you can consume a day to maintain your present weight. This estimation may gradually help you with a weight loss, gain or maintenance plan.

Following are 2 examples of the Cal-Max ^TM scale in use:

Jack is:

6' tall

35 years old

220 Lbs

• Cal-Max™ shows he needs to consume 2542 calories per day to remain at 220 pounds.
• Jack decides to cut 300 calories per day from his diet while maintaining his current activity level
• In less than 12 days Jack may lose up to a pound (based on calories alone)
  • In one year Jack may lose up to 31.29 pounds (based on calories alone)

Jill is:

5'6" tall

32 years old

140 Lbs

• Cal-Max™ shows she needs to consume 1708 calories per day to remain at 140 pounds.
• Jill also decides to cut 300 calories per day from her diet while maintaining her current activity level.
  • In less than 12 days Jill may lose up to a pound (based on calories alone)
  • In one year Jill may lose up to 31.29 pounds (based on calories alone)

IMPORTANT: Proper calorie intake and nutrition are important to maintain a healthy body. Always consult a physician before undertaking any exercise or diet program.

How does BMI Work?

The scale will calculate your BMI (body mass index) based on your height and weight. Once you input your personal data into the scale and step on the platform, the scale will display your weight and your BMI number.

Body Mass Index (BMI) – Why Measure It?

Maintaining proper weight is essential to healthy living. Obesity has been linked to a higher risk of heart disease, diabetes and some forms of cancer. The Body Mass Index (BMI) is calculated from a person's weight and height, and is a widely accepted measurement of weight by most. IMPORTANT: Always consult a physician before beginning any diet or exercise program.

Battery Information and General Operation

This scale operates on 1 – 3 volt CR2032 lithium battery (installed). There is a strip under the lithium battery cover to prevent battery drain in shipping. Please remove the strip before continuing with these instructions (you may need to remove the battery compartment cover to avoid breaking the strip). Also, some models have a static cling label on the lens to prevent scratching. Please remove before use.

This scale is set to pounds. Press firmly on the platform to turn the scale on. Press the "Set" button to toggle between pound (lb) and kilogram (kg) units of measurement. Allow the scale to turn off. The scale is set to weigh in the unit last displayed.

The scale needs to be initialized before first use or after battery replacement, or if it is moved or bumped. Press firmly on the scale platform. The display will turn on and automatically turn off. Your scale is now ready for use.

Replace the CR2032 lithium battery when "Lo" appears on the LCD screen or the readings grow dim or irregular. To replace the battery:

1. Use one 3 volt CR2032 lithium battery.
2. Remove screw (or screws) from the battery compartment cover on the bottom of the scale and remove the cover.
3. Remove the old battery from the compartment.
4. Place the new battery with the "+" sign up into the battery compartment.
5. Replace the battery compartment cover and screw(s).

NOTE: Please recycle or dispose of batteries per local regulations.

WARNING: Batteries may pose a choking hazard. As with all small items, do not let children handle batteries. If swallowed, seek medical attention immediately.

PRECAUTION: Do not dispose of batteries in fire. Batteries may explode or leak. Remove the battery if the scale will not be used for a long period of time.

Weight Only Operation

Your Taylor® Cal-Max™ and BMI Scale will operate as a basic weight-reading scale.

No special programming steps are required.

Once the scale is initialized, as previously described, you may simply step on the scale to obtain your current weight. For a weight only reading:

1. Place the scale on a flat, hard surface. Carpeted or uneven floors may affect accuracy.
2. Step onto the scale platform and remain still. The scale will count up to your weight. The display will flash 3 times when the weight is locked. Your weight is now displayed.
3. The scale will automatically turn off.

Using Your Cal-Max™ / BMI Scale

In order for your Cal-Max ^™ scale to estimate calories and compute your BMI number, you must first enter your gender, height and age. The scale uses these factors to calculate your results.

Onscreen prompts will lead you through programming your personal information into the scale.

The analyzer will then use this data to compute your results.

REMINDER: The scale needs to be initialized after battery installation. The scale may also need to be initialized if it is moved or bumped. At all other times, you may directly proceed with the following instructions for programming your personal data into the scale.

To initialize the scale, simply press firmly on the scale platform while the scale is on. The scale will turn on and automatically turn off. Your scale is now ready for use.

How to Enter Personal Data into Memory

This scale has 4 personal memory numbers (P1-P4). In order to estimate calories and compute BMI, you must first save your gender, age and height into memory. The scale will then use these factors to calculate your Cal-Max ^™ and BMI results.

You will store your data into memory before first use, thus eliminating the need to enter your personal information before each reading. To enter your data into memory:

1. Press the "Set" button. The scale turns on and "1-4" blinks on the screen. Press "Set" again to display a memory number (P1-P4).

Reaching Target Weight

Maintaining proper weight is essential to healthy living. Obesity has been linked to a higher risk of heart disease, diabetes and some forms of cancer. The Body Mass Index (BMI) is the most widely accepted measurement of weight according to health professionals. Use the chart below to determine your own BMI by matching your height in the left hand column with your weight in the center. Anyone, male or female, with a BMI of 25 to 29 is considered over weight and a body mass index of 30 is considered obese. Remember to eat right and exercise.
