What Is Bone Mass?
This function indicates the amount of bone (bone mineral level, calcium or other minerals) in the body.
Research has shown that exercise and the development of muscle tissue are related to stronger, healthier bones. While it is unlikely
that there will be noticeable changes in bone structure over short periods, it is important that you develop and maintain healthy bones
by having a balanced diet and plenty of exercise. People worried about bone disease should consult their physician. People who suffer
from osteoporosis or low bone density due to age (young or old), pregnancy, hormonal treatment or other causes may not get
accurate bone mass readings.
Below is the result of estimated bone masses of persons aged 20 to 40, who are said to have the largest amounts of bone mass by
weight. (Source: Tanita Body Weight Science Institute)
Please use the charts below as a guide for comparing your bone mass readings.
・
Persons described below may obtain varying readings and should take the values given for reference purposes only.
- Elderly persons
- Women during or after menopause
- People receiving hormone therapy
・
“Estimated bone mass” is a value estimated statistically based on its correlation with the fat-free amount (tissues other
than the fat). “Estimated bone mass” does not give a direct judgment on the hardness or strength of the bones or the risks
of bone fractures.
If you have concerns over your bones, you are recommended to consult a specialist physician.

"Err" appears on the display after measurement
Are the personal data settings correct?
Did you select the wrong personal data number?
Measurement items have exceeded the measurement range. (Measurements cannot be taken)
Cannot measure body composition even though personal data is set
The personal data settings are not complete. You need to measure body composition once immediately after entering the personal
data.
Cannot connect my smartphone to the Body Composition Monitor
“Err pair” or ”Err DATA” appears on the display
Are batteries inserted correctly in the Body Composition Monitor?
Are the batteries running low?
Are the smartphone and body composition meter within communication range?
The communication range for The Body Composition Monitor is 5m in an unobstructed location.
Is the "Bluetooth" setting in the smartphone "Settings" turned on?

Delete the pairing information from "Settings" > "Bluetooth" on the smartphone, and pair the smartphone with the Body Composition
Monitor again.
"Err UUID" appears repeatedly.
Delete the pairing information from "Settings" > "Bluetooth" on the smartphone, and pair the smartphone with the Body Composition
Monitor again.
“Err c9” appears on the display
Remove and replace the batteries from the body composition meter, and set the date and time again.
The date and time settings have been changed
When using the Body Composition Monitor linked with an smartphone, the date and time settings on the Body Composition Monitor
are overwritten with those from the smartphone.
