USEFUL FEATURES

• Tanita Body Fat Monitor/Scales allow you to know your weight, body fat percentage, and body water percentage
simultaneously and easily, simply by stepping on a scale.
• Your Body Fat Monitor/Scale can be set for Adult or Children (ages 7-17), Male or Female.
• 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).
• Guest feature allows you to take readings without reprogramming one of the Personal keys.
• Weight-only Key provides quick weight readings.
• 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

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 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.
• 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.8).

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.
