FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS

Measuring Platform Display Screen Electrodes Personal KeysWeight-Only Key AA-size Batteries Memory Card

• SD Logo is a trademark. Visceral Fat Button Arrow Buttons Past Button Set/Result Button Segment Button Memory card slot Hand-electrodes2 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. Handling Tips This monitor is a precision instrument utilising state-of-the-art technology. To keep the unit in the best condition, please follow these instructions carefully:

USING THE VISCERAL FAT BUTTON

This feature indicates the rating of visceral fat in your body. Visceral fat is the fat that is in the internal abdominal cavity, surrounding the vital organs in the trunk (abdominal) area. Research shows that even if your weight and body fat remains constant, as you get older the distribution of fat changes and is more likely to shift to the trunk area especially post menopause. Ensuring you, have healthy levels of visceral fat may reduce the risk of certain diseases such as heart disease, high blood pressure, and the onset of type 2 diabetes. The Tanita Body Composition Monitor will provide you with a visceral fat rating from 1 – 59. Rating from 1 – 12 Indicates you have a healthy level of visceral fat. Continue monitoring your rating to ensure that it stays within the healthy range. Rating from 13 – 59 Indicates you have an excess level of visceral fat. Consider making changes in your lifestyle possibly through diet changes or increasing exercise. Source : Data from Columbia University (New York) & Tanita Institute (Tokyo) Note:

• Even if you have a low body fat rate, you may have a high visceral fat level.

• For medical diagnosis, consult a physician.
