Safety Precautions
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.
Tanita takes no responsibility for any kind of damage or loss caused by the monitor, or any kind of claim made by a third person.
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 10 hours per week, for
at least 6 months, 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 10 hours per week.
The body fat monitor function is not intended for pregnant women, professional athletes or bodybuilders.
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. It is recommended that if
possible all readings should be taken at the end of one’s day since in the morning after rising from sleep, hydration levels are
at their lowest.
