HOW TO DETERMINE BODY FAT PERCENTAGE

Setting and Storing Data in Memory

The unit can be operated only if data has been programmed into one of the personal data memories or the Guest mode.

1. Turn on the Power

Press the Set button to turn on the unit (once programmed, tapping a
Personal Key turns on the unit.)  The unit will beep to confirm activation, the
Personal Key numbers (1,2,3,4) will be displayed, and the display will flash.

Note:

If you don’t operate the unit for sixty seconds after the unit has been turned on, the
unit will turn off automatically.

Note: If you make a mistake or want to turn the unit off before you have

finished programming it, press the Weight-Only Key (

) to force quit.

2. Select a Personal Key Number

Press the Up/Down buttons to select a Personal Key.  Once you reach the
Personal Key number you wish to use, press the Set button.  The unit will
beep once to confirm.

3. Set Age

The display defaults to Age 30 (range of user age is between 7-99).  An
arrow icon appears on the lower left side to indicate Age setting.  Use the
Up/Down buttons to scroll through numbers.  When you reach your age,
press the Set button.  The unit will beep once to confirm.

4. Select Female or Male

Use the Up/Down buttons to scroll through Female (

) or Male (

),

Female/Athlete and Male/Athlete settings, then press the Set button.  The
unit will beep once to confirm.

5. Specify the Height

The display defaults to 5’ 7.0” (170cm) (range of user is from 3’ 4.0” – 7’
3.0” or 100cm – 220cm). Use the Up/Down buttons to specify Height and
then press the Set button.  The unit will beep once to confirm.

6. Select Activity Level

To use the DCI (Daily Calorie Intake) feature properly, you need to set the Activity
Level. Use the Up button to specify Activity Level.  Press the Set button to confirm.

Level 1 = Inactive lifestyles (little or no exercise)

Level 2 = Moderately active lifestyles (occasional, low intensity exercise)

Level 3 = Adult involved in intense physical activity (see p.1. for Tanita’s

definition of Athlete)

The unit will beep twice and the display will flash all data (Male/Female, Age,
Height, Activity Level, etc.) three times to confirm the programming.  The power
will then shut down automatically.

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.5).

USEFUL FEATURES

SWITCHING THE WEIGHT MODE

AUTOMATIC SHUT-DOWN FUNCTION

• 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).
• Daily Calorie Intake (DCI) is an estimate of how many calories you can consume within the next 24 hours to manage

your current weight.

• 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.

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.

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.
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.
