PRINCIPLES OF ESTIMATING BODY FAT PERCENTAGE

Tanita Body Fat Monitor/Scales allow you to determine your body fat percentage at home as easily as you measure your weight.

What is Body Fat Percentage?

Body fat percentage is the percentage of fat in your body. Too much body fat has been linked to conditions such as high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and other disabling conditions.

^1 Based on NIHWHO BMI Guidelines.

As reported by Gallagher, et al. at NY Obesity Research Center To determine the percentage of body fat that is appropriate for your body, consult your physician

The BIA Method

Tanita's palented "foot-pad" design sends a sale, low-level electrical signal through the body to determine its composition.

Tanita Body Fat Monitor/Scales use the BIA (Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis) technique. In this method, a safe, low-level electrical signal is passed through the body. It is difficult for the signal to flow through fat in the human body, but easy to flow through moisture in the muscle and other body tissues. The difficulty with which a signal flows through a substance is called impedance. So the more resistance, or impedance, the signal encounters, the higher the body fat reading.

Hydration Fluctuations

Hydration levels in the body may affect body fat readings. Readings are usually highest in the early waking hours, since the body tends to be dehydrated after a long night's sleep. For the most accurate reading using BIA, a person should take a body fat percentage reading at a consistent time of day under consistent conditions. Besides this basic cycle of fluctuations in the daily body fat readings using BIA, variations may be caused by hydration changes in the body due to eating, drinking, menstruation, illness, exercising, and eating. Daily body fat readings are unique to each person, and depend upon one's lifestyle, job and activities.

USEFUL FEATURES

• Tanila Body Fat Monitor/Scales allow you to measure both weight and body fat percentage simultaneously and easily simply by stepping on a scale.
• Your Body Fat Monitor/Scale can be set for Adults or Children (ages 7–17), Male or Female.
• Personal data (Female/Male, Age, Height) can be pre-set and stored in the personal data memory for 2 users.
• The unit emits a helpful "beep" when activated, and also at various stages in the programming and measuring process. Listen for these sounds which will prompt you to step on the unit, look at your readings, or confirm a setting.
  • Auto-recognition feature instantly recognizes each user.

SWITCHING THE WEIGHT MODE

Note: For use only with models containing the weight mode switch

You can switch the unit indication by using the switch on the back of the scale as shown in the figure.

Note: If weight mode is set to pounds or stone pounds, the height programming mode will be automatically set to feet and inches. Similarly, if kilograms is selected, height will be automatically set to centimetres.

lb (pounds)

kg (kilograms)

st-lb (stone pounds)

AUTOMATIC SHUT-DOWN FUNCTION

The automatic shut-down function shuts off the power automatically in the following cases:

• If you interrupt the measurement process. The power will shut down automatically within 10 to 30 seconds, depending upon the type of operation.
• If an extraordinary weight is applied to the platform.
• During programming, if you do not touch any of the keys or buttons within 60 seconds*.
  • After you have completed the measuring process.
  *Note: If the power shuts off automatically, repeat the steps from 'Setting and Storing Data in Memory' (p.5).

HOW TO DETERMINE BODY FAT PERCENTAGE

Setting and Storing Data in Memory

The unit can be operated only if data has been programmed into one of the personal data memories.

1. Turn on the Power

Press the Set button to turn on the unit. The unit will beep to confirm activation, the Personal data number will be displayed, and the display will flash.

Note: If you don't operate the unit for sixty seconds allar the unit has been turned on, the unit will turn off automatically.

Note: If you make a mistake or want to turn the unit off before you have finished programming it, press the ON-OFF Key to force quit.

2. Select a Personal data Number

Press the Up/Down buttons to select a Personal data number 1 or 2. Once you reach the Personal data number you wish to use, press the Set button. The unit will beep once to confirm.

3. Set Age

The display defaults to Age 30 (range of user age is between 7-99). An arrow icon appears on the lower left side to indicate Age setting. Use the Up/Down buttons to scroll through numbers. When you reach your age, press the Set button. The unit will beep once to confirm.

4. Select Female or Male

Use the Up/Down buttons to scroll through Female (Male() settings, then press the Sel button. The unit will beep once to confirm.

5. Specify the Height

The display defaults to 5'7.0" (170cm) (range of user is from 3'4.0" - 7'3.0" or 100cm - 220cm). Use the Up/Down buttons to specify Height and then press the Set button. The unit will keep once to confirm

The unit will beep twice and the display will flash all data (Male/Female, Age, Height.) three times to confirm the programming. The power will then shut down automatically.

Checking Your Stored Data

To check your personal data, push DATA (Up arrow) button until your data number will appear. Your data stored in the scale will then appear.

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 on the measuring platform. Be sure that 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 hard exercise 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 sales of your feel are not clean, or if your krocs are bent or you are in a sitting position.

GB

TAKING WEIGHT AND BODY FAT READINGS

After programming your personal data you are ready to take a reading.

1. Tap the ON/OFF Key

The unit will beep and the display will show "0.0". Now step onto the platform.

Note: If you step onto the platform before "0.0" appears the display will show "Error" and you will not obtain a reading. Furthermore, if you do not stop onto the measuring platform within about 30 seconds after "0.0" appears, the power is shut off automatically.

2.Get Your Readings

Your weight will be shown first. Continue to stand on the platform.

"00000" will appear on the display and disappear one by one from left to right.

The readings will be shown alternately 5 times as follows:

Personal data Weight Body fat percentage

Note: Do not step off until "00000" disappears.

Note: Even if you step off the platform after all the result are displayed, the alternating display of Body Weight and Body Fat Percentage will be repeated 5 times. The unit will then shut down automatically.

When a wrong personal number appears, push MEMORY Button until your personal number appears during measurement.

Note:

- When your data is not stored, push MEMORY Button until "F-1" appears. The unit will then shut off. Please repeat the steps from 'Setting and Storing Data in Memory'. (p.5)

- When "F-2" is displayed after measurement, no personal data is stored in the unit. Please store your personal data before measuring.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If the following problems occur... then...

• A wrong weight format appears followed by kg, lb, or st-lb Refer to "Switching the Weight Mode" on p.4.
• "Lo" appears on the display, or all the data appears and immediately disappears.

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

- "Error" appears while measuring.

Please stand on the platform keeping movement to a minimum. The unit cannot accurately measure your weight if it detects movement.

- The Body Fat Percentage reading does not appear or "----" appears after the weight is measured.

Make sure socks or stockings are removed, and the soles of your feet are clean and properly aligned with the guides on the measuring platform.

- "OL" appears while measuring.

Reading cannot be obtained if the weight capacity is exceeded.

- "Error%" appears while measuring.

The Body Fat Percentage is more than 75%, readings cannot be obtained from the unit.
