USEFUL FEATURES
• Tanita 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 Male or Female, Standard or
Athlete Adult, or Children (ages 7-17).
• Personal data (Female/Male, Age, Height, etc.) can be pre-set and
stored in memory for up to 4 people.
• Unique Healthy Range Indicator automatically displays where your body
fat percentage falls within the Body Fat Ranges chart (p.2).
• 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.
SWITCHING THE WEIGHT MODE
Your Body Fat Monitor/Scale can measure weight in three different modes:
st-lb (British stone-pounds), kg (kilograms), or lb (pounds). The default
setting (the setting at which Tanita products are shipped) is lb (USA only)
or st-lb (UK only). If you would like to change that setting, or if at any point
another setting has been inadvertently entered, follow these steps:
Press the Set and Up buttons simultaneously. Release the buttons, the
display will flash. Press the Up button to cycle through each weight mode
until the mode that you require is displayed. Then press the Set button.
The unit will beep twice in short succession, and the display screen will
flash to confirm your selection and store it in memory.
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.
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 extraordinary weight is applied to the platform.
• If you make a mistake during measurement or a key or button operation.
• 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).
