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.

Important Notes for Users

This Body fat monitor is intended for adults and children (ages 5 – 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 12 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 12 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 over-

hydration due to such factors as alcohol consumption, menstruation, illness, intense exercise, etc.

Inserting the Batteries

Open the battery cover on the back of the measuring platform. Insert the supplied

AAA-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 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

soaps.

• Do not step on the platform when wet.

• Do not drop any objects onto the platform.

• Do not jump onto or off the unit.

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 soles of your feet are not clean, or if your

knees are bent or you are in a sitting position.

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 30 seconds, depending upon the type of

operation.

• During programming, if you do not touch any of the keys or buttons within 60 seconds.

• After you have completed the measuring process.
