The TBF-612 allows you to measure both weight and body fat percentage simultaneously
as easily and simply as stepping on a scale.
The TBF-612 can be set for a standard adult or athlete and male or female, increasing
the accuracy of the measurements.
Personal data (Adult or Athlete, gender and height) are stored in the memory
of the unit.
Selecting the Weight Mode (lb, kg or st-lb)
The TBF-612 can measure weight in three different modes: lb (pounds), kg (kilograms) or
st-lb (British stone-pounds). The default setting (the setting at which Tanita products are
shipped) is lb. If you would like to change that setting, or if at any point another setting
has been inadvertently entered, follow these steps:
Press and simultaneously. Release the buttons, the display will flash. Press
to
cycle through each weight mode until just the mode that you require is displayed. Then
press . The display screen will flash to confirm your selection and store it in memory.
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 centimeters.
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.
Note:
If the power shuts off automatically, repeat the steps from the beginning (see p.8 for steps).
