Do not place this scale on slippery surfaces such as a wet floor.

Please do not use scale immediately after bathing or strenuous exercise. Scale platform will be slippery when wet. Please wipe platform with clean, dry cloth to remove any liquids.

Important Notes for Users

This Body Composition Monitor is intended for adults and children (ages 5-17) standard and 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. 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.

Tanita takes no responsibility for any kind of damage or loss caused by these units, or any kind of claim made by a third person.

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

PREPARATIONS BEFORE USE

Open as shown.

Direction of the batteries.

▲ Inserting the Batteries

Open the battery cover on the back of the measuring platform. Insert the supplied AA-batteries as indicated.

Note: Be sure that the polarity of the batteries is set properly. If the batteries are incorrectly positioned the fluid may leak and damage floors. If you do not intend to use this unit for a long period of time, it is advisable to remove the batteries before storage.

Please note that the included batteries from the factory may have decreased energy levels over time.

▲ Positioning the Scale

Place the measuring platform on a hard, flat surface where there is minimal vibration to ensure safe and accurate measurement.

Note: To avoid possible injury, do not step on the edge of the platform.

Do not pull the Hand-electrodes cable beyond the red band.

Handling Tips

This scale is a precision instrument utilising state-of-the-art technology.

To keep the unit in the best condition, please follow these instructions carefully:

avoid using soaps.

GETTING ACCURATE READINGS

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 onto the measuring platform. Be sure 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 exercising 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.

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.
