Thank you for selecting a Tanita Body Composition Monitor. This monitor is one in a wide range of home healthcare products produced by Tanita.

This Instruction Manual will guide you through the setup procedures and outline the key features. Please keep it handy for future reference. Additional information on healthy living can be found on our website www.lanla.com.

Safety Precautions

Note that people with an electronic medical implant, such as a pacemaker, should not use a Body Composition Monitor as it passes a low-level electrical signal through the body, which may interfere with its operation.

Pregnant women should use the weight function only. All other functions are not intended for pregnant women.

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

Recorded data may be lost if the monitor 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 the monitor, or any kind of claim made by a third person.

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.

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. Tamia 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.

Features and Functions

Preparations Before Use

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 batorns from factory may have decreased energy levels over time.

Positioning the Monitor

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.

Handling Tips

This monitor is a precision instrument utilizing state-of-the-art technology.
To keep the unit in the best condition, follow these instructions carefully:
- Do not attempt to disassemble the measuring platform.
- Store the unit horizontally, and place it so that the buttons will not be pressed accidentally.
- Avoid excessive impact or vibration to the unit
- Place the unit in an area free from direct sunlight, heating equipment, high humidity, or extreme temperature change.
- Never submerge in water. Use alcohol to clean the electrodes and glass cleaner (applied to a cloth first); to keep them shiny, avoid scraps.
Do not step on the platform when wet.
Do not drop any objects onto the platform.

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.

Toes may overhang.
measuring platform

Note: An accurate reading will not be possible if the solutes of your feet are not clean, or if your knees are bent or you are in a sitting position.

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 20 seconds, depending upon the type of operation.
  If an extreme 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 Personal Data in Memory" (p-4).

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 are selected, height will be automatically set to centimeters.
