Frequently Asked Questions - 5306614 Taylor

How do I set up the scale for the first time?

Place the scale on a hard, flat surface. Insert 2 AAA batteries (included). Press the platform firmly to turn it on, then allow it to turn off. Your scale is now ready for use.

How do I program my personal data (gender, age, height, etc.)?

Press the SET key to turn the scale on. Use the ▲/▼ keys to select a memory number [01-08] and press SET. Then choose gender, Normal/Athlete mode, age, and height using the ▲/▼ keys and confirm each with SET. The scale will then show your data and prompt you to step on.

Why does my weight reading vary each time I step on?

Ensure the scale is on a hard, flat surface and your feet are evenly placed. Weigh yourself at the same time of day, without clothing if possible, and avoid moving the scale between readings. Allow the weight to lock before looking down.

What is the difference between Normal and Athlete mode?

Athlete mode is for individuals who consistently train at least three times per week for two hours each time. It adjusts the body fat estimation algorithm to avoid overestimating body fat in elite athletes.

How do I change the weight unit from pounds to kilograms?

While the scale is on, press the UNIT button on the back of the scale to toggle between lb and kg.

What does the 'Err' message mean?

'Err' indicates that impedance cannot be measured. Ensure you are standing barefoot and still on the scale with maximum foot contact with the electrodes. Moistening your feet may help. If the error persists, remove the batteries and reinsert them after one minute.

How should I clean the scale?

Clean the scale with a damp cloth. Do not use chemical or abrasive cleaning agents. Avoid getting water inside the scale.

What does the low battery symbol mean?

A low battery symbol indicates the batteries are running low. Replace them with two new AAA batteries. Do not mix old and new batteries or different battery types.

Why do I get different body fat readings compared to another scale?

Different scales use different measurement technologies and algorithms. For consistent monitoring, always use the same device and method. Do not compare results across brands.

What is the warranty period and how do I claim it?

Welcome to the Body Composition Scale

This product is designed to test body fat and hydration. The scale is to assist with keeping a close eye on the daily change of your body fat, hydration, muscle mass and weight. It also calculates your Body Mass Index (BMI), which is a measurement of body fat based on height and weight for men and women. The body composition scale also is equipped with "Athlete Mode" for athletes whose body is built different than non-athletes. Please note that body fat percentages can vary through out the day and day by day. Do not compare your results with other methods. The key is to use one method of calculating composition consistently and track those results with the same device overtime.

Carefully read the Instructions before use.

1. I have tried all corrective actions, but still can't solve the problem ...

Please contact the Taylor Customer Service Department at 1-866-843-3905 (from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, Mountain Standard Time, Monday through Friday) or by email to [e-mail].

1. Why do I get a different body fat reading when I use a different brand of body fat scale?

Different body composition scales take estimations around different parts of the body and use different mathematic algorithm to estimate the percentage of body fat. The best advice is not to make comparisons from one device to another, but to use the same device each time to monitor any change.

Important Information to Know Before Using Your Scale

1. Why is it important to monitor percentage body fat [%BF] ?

The absolute weight traditionally determines whether or not a person is obese. Weight change in itself does not indicate whether it was the weight of body fat or muscle that had changed. In weight management, it is desirable that muscle mass be maintained while body fat is lost. Thus, monitoring the percentage of fat in the body is an important step toward successful weight management and body health. Ideal body fat/body water content is not the same for all people. Age, sex, and heredity are variables in this measurement. Consult your physician to determine what levels are most ideal for you.

The optimal %BF of an individual varies according to age and gender.

The table as follows may be used as a guide:

Age	Fat (F)	Hydration (F)	Fat (M)	Hydration (M)	Status
≤ 30	4.0 - 16.0%	66.0 - 57.8%	4.0 - 11%	66.0 - 61.2%	Too lean
	16.1 - 20.5%	57.7 - 54.7%	11.1 - 15.5%	61.1 - 58.1%	Lean
	20.6 - 25.0%	54.6 - 51.6%	15.6 - 20.0%	58.0 - 55.0%	Normal
	25.1 - 30.5%	51.5 - 47.8%	20.1 - 24.5%	54.9 - 51.9%	Fat
	30.6 - 60.0%	47.7 - 27.5%	24.6 - 60.0%	51.8 - 27.5%	Too Fat

Age	Fat (F)	Hydration (F)	Fat (M)	Hydration (M)	Status
>30	4.0 - 20.0%	66.0 - 55.0%	4.0 - 15.0%	66.0 - 58.4%	Too lean
	20.1 - 25.0%	54.9 - 51.6%	15.1 - 19.5%	58.3 - 55.3%	Lean
	25.1 - 30.0%	51.5 - 48.1%	19.6 - 24.0%	55.2 - 52.3%	Normal
	30.1 - 35.0%	48.0 - 44.7%	24.1 - 28.5%	52.2 - 49.2%	Fat
	35.1 - 60.0%	44.6 - 27.5%	28.6 - 60.0%	49.1 - 27.5%	Too Fat

2. How is percentage body fat (%BF) estimated?

The percentage of BF is measured by a method called Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA). The use of BIA to estimate body fat has been pioneered since the seventies. It was only in the past decade that the estimation of body fat using BIA technology was successfully offered to the consumer as a compact bathroom scale. With BIA technology, a low intensity electrical signal is sent through the body. The signal is very low and causes no bodily harm. Depending on the amount of body fat of the individual, the electrical signal will flow with a different degree of difficulty. The difficulty with which a signal flows through the body is called electrical impedance. Hence, by measuring the electrical impedance and applying to the data a proprietary algorithm, %BF can be estimated. Please note that the percentage of body fat and body water will not add up to 100%.

Please be reminded that the %BF estimated with the scale represents only a good approximation of your actual body fat. There exist clinical methods of estimating body fat that can be ordered by your physician.

3. Why Is It Important to monitor percentage Total Body Water [%TBW] In the body?

Water is an essential component of the body and its level is one of the health indicators. Water makes up approximately between 50-70% of the body's weight. It is present proportionally more in lean tissue compared to fat tissue. Water is a medium for biochemical reactions that regulate body functions. Waste products are carried in water from cells for excretion in urine and sweat. Water provides form to cells; helps to maintain body temperature; provides moisture to skin and mucosa; cushions vital organs; lubricates joints and is a component of many body fluids. The amount of water in the body fluctuates with the hydration level of the body and state of health. Monitoring the level of body water can be a useful tool for one's health maintenance. Similar to body fat estimation, the %TBW function provided in this scale is based on BIA.

The estimated %TBW may vary according to your hydration level, that is, how much water you have drunk or how much you have sweated immediately prior to the estimation. For better accuracy, avoid fluctuation in hydration level prior to the estimation. The accuracy of the scale in estimating TBW will also decrease with individuals suffering from diseases that tend to accumulate water in the body.

Please note that the percentage of body fat and body water will not add up to 100%.

4. What Is Muscle Mass?

Our Body Composition Scale estimates the weight of Skeletal Muscle Mass in your body. You have around 650 muscles in your body, and they make up roughly half of your body weight. These muscles can be divided into three different groups: skeletal, smooth and cardiac. All of these muscles can stretch and contract, but they perform very different functions. Skeletal muscle: Produces movement, maintains posture, stabilizes joints and generates heat

Smooth muscle: Found in the walls of hollow organs

Cardiac muscle: Exists only in your heart

Skeletal muscle [SM]

The tissue most commonly thought of as muscle is skeletal muscle. Skeletal muscles cover your skeleton, giving your body its shape. They are attached to your skeleton by strong, springy tendons or are directly connected to rough patches of bone. Skeletal muscles are under voluntary control, which means you consciously control what they do.

Just about all body movement, from walking to nodding your head, is caused by skeletal muscle contraction. Your skeletal muscles function almost continuously to maintain your posture, making one tiny adjustment after another to keep your body upright. Skeletal muscle is also important for holding your bones in the correct position and prevents your joints from dislocating. Some skeletal muscles in your face are directly attached to your skin. The slightest contraction of one of these muscles changes your facial expression.

Skeletal muscle generates heat as a by-product of muscle activity. This heat is vital for maintaining your normal body temperature.

Skeletal muscle represents approximately 30% of body weight of a healthy 127.8 lb woman or 40% of a 154.3 lb man. (International Commission on Radiological Protection, 1975)

5. Definition of an 'Athlete'

The general consensus among researchers is that a quantitative dimension could be used in defining an athlete. For example, an athlete could be defined as a person who consistently trains a minimum of three times per week for two hours each time, in order to improve specific skills required in the performance of their specific sport and/or activity.

6. Why Is the Athlete Mode necessary In a Body Composition Scale?

It has been found that body fat estimation using BIA could overestimate the percentage body fat of adult elite athletes. The physiological variation of athletes in bone density and level of hydration are two of the reasons said to account for the difference.

7. 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.
