Useful features of the TBF-560
The TBF-560 allows you to measure both weight and body fat percentage simultaneously
as easily and simply as stepping on a scale.
The TBF-560 can be set for a Male/Female/Adult Athlete, increasing the accuracy of
the measurements.
Personal data (birth date, gender, height) can be preset and stored in memory for up
to five persons. Personal data can be reprogrammed to allow for changes such as a
child growing.
Body weight and body fat percentage measurements for five persons can be recorded
in the memory of the unit. User’s current measurements can be compared with past
readings record for up to 2 years.
The TBF-560 can also provide body weight and body fat percentage for an unlimited
number of guests that do not require their data to be recorded in the memory of the unit.
The TBF-560 alerts you with a “No” (triggered by a significant weight change) to indi-
cate the possibility that you have mistakenly used someone else’s PERSONAL key.
Switching the weight mode
The TBF-560 can record measurements in lb (pounds), kg (kilograms), or st-lb (British
stone pounds). To select the preferred unit, make sure the monitor is off. Press the
Green Up and Orange Set buttons simultaneously and release instantly. Press the
Up/Down buttons to choose the measurement unit (lb/kg/st-lb) you desire, then press
the Orange Set button. The display screen will flash and you will hear two beeps to
confirm your selection and store it in memory. (To change weight unit, repeat the
previous steps.)
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 operation.
• After you have completed the measurement process.
NOTE: If the power shuts off automatically due to a problem, repeat the steps from the
beginning (see pp. 9-10 for steps).
