Staple your purchase receipt here.
The Fat Loss Monitor is an excellent tool to quickly measure your body fat
percentage and body mass index. Input your personal data, and the monitor
displays your estimated value
of body fat percentage using the Bioelectrical
Impedance Method and indicates your body mass index in four ranges -low,
normal, high and very high.
Your HBF-306C comes with the following components:
• Fat Loss Monitor
• Instruction Manual
• 2 "AAA" Batteries
Read all the information in the instruction book before using the unit.
.&.wARNING!
This monitor cannot be used with a cardiacpacemaker or other implanted
medical devices. The
Fat Loss Monitorpasses an extremely weak electrical
current
of 50kHz and less than 500pA through your body when taking a
measurement to determine the amount
of fat tissue. This weak current is not
felt while using the monitor. Do not use, or allow others to use, this monitor
if fitted with a cardiacpacemaker or other medical device.
.&.wARNING!
Pregnant women or those who may becomepregnant should not use this
device.

avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury to the user
or patient or damage to the equipment or other property.
OPERATING THE DEVICE
.A. This monitor cannot be used with a cardiac pacemaker or other implanted medical
devices. The Fat Loss Monitor passes an extremely weak electrical current of 50kHz and
less than 500JlA through your body when taking a measurement to determine the amount
of fat tissue. This weak current is not felt while using the monitor. Do not use, or allow
others to use, this monitor if fitted with a cardiac pacemaker or other medical device.
.A. Pregnant women or those who may become pregnant should not use this device.
.A. Contact your physician or healthcare provider before beginning a weight reduction or
exercise program.
Lt. Read all of the information in the instruction manual and any other literature in the
box before operating the unit.
Lt. Do not use mobile telephones, microwave and other devices that generate strong electrical
or electromagnetic fields near the monitor. This may result in an operational failure.
Lt. Should battery fluid leak and contact your eyes, skin or clothing immediately rinse
with plenty
of clean water. Immediately contact your physician.
Lt. Dispose of the device, batteries, components and optional accessories according to
applicable local regulations. Unlawful disposal may cause environmental pollution.
Lt. Operate the unit only as intended. Do not use for any other purpose.
Lt. This unit is intended for home use only. It is not intended for professional use in
hospitals or other medical facilities. This unit does not support the quality standards
required for professional use.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Lt. Do not disassemble or modify the unit. Changes or modifications not approved by
Omron Healthcare will void the user warranty.
Lt. Do not subject the monitor to strong shocks, such as dropping the unit on the floor.
Lt. Do not submerge the device or any of the components in water.

INFORMATION ON BODY COMPOSITION
The Fat Loss Monitor displays the estimated value of body fat percentage by the
Bioelectrical Impedance (BI) method and indicates the Body Mass Index (BMI)
range with the BMI classification bar.
Bioelectrical Impedance Method
Muscles, blood vessels and bones have a high water content
that conduct electricity easily.
Body fat does not hold water, therefore it has low electrical
conductivity.
The Fat Loss Monitor sends an extremely low-level
electrical current
of 50 kHz and 500 J..LA through your
body to determine the amount
of fat tissue. This weak
current is safe and not felt while operating the Fat Loss
Monitor.
Body Fat Percentage
Body
Weight
L
Body fat percentage refers to the amount of body fat mass as part of the total body
weight.
EstimatedBody FatPercentage
Hydrodensitometry, or underwater weighing, has been an established method for accurate
evaluation
of body composition. Omron has used research information from several
hundred people using the underwater method to develop the formula by which the Fat
Loss Monitor works.The body fat mass and body fat percent is calculated by a formula
that includes five factors: electric resistance, height, weight, age, and gender.

INFORMATION ON BODY COMPOSITION
Body Mass Index (BMI)
BMI is an internationally used index to show body composition by determining the
balance between the height and the weight.
Body Mass Index (BMI) Formula:
US -Calculated using pounds and inches:
(weight in pounds x 703) I height in inches I height in inches
Metric- Calculated using kilograms and meters:
weight in kilograms I height in meters I height in meters
BMI BMI
Less than 18.5 LOW
18.5 or more and less than 25 NORMAL
25 or more and less than 30 HIGH
30 or more VERY HIGH
*Based on NIH/WHO guidelines for BMI
NOTE: The body fat percentage measured by this unit may significantly differ from the
actual body fat percentage in the following situations:
• Children in growth stage • People who having swelling
• Elderly people • Patients undergoing dialysis
• People with a fever • Patients with osteoporosis who
have very low bone density

INFORMATION ON BODY COMPOSITION
Recommended Measurement Times
Understanding the normal changes in your body fat percentage can help you maintain your
fitness and health and/or help you reduce your body fat. Being aware of the times when the
body fat percentages shift within your own daily schedule will assist you in obtaining an
accurate trending of your body fat. It is recommended to use the Fat Loss Monitor in
the same environment and daily circumstances for each measurement. (See chart)
DO NOT take a measurement:
Before lunch and about 2 hours or
more after breakfast
In the afternoon about 2 hours or
more after lunch and before taking
bath or dinner
Before going to bed and about 2
hours or more after dinner
Avoid taking a measurement immediately after these situations, as the measured body fat
percentage may differ significantly from the actual one because the water content in the
body is changing:
o After drinking a large amount of water or after a meal (l to 2 hours)
o After drinking alcohol ·
o Immediately after exercise
o Immediately after a shower, bath or sauna

CALCULATE YOUR FIT INDEX
The Fat Loss Monitor can be set to either NORMAL or ATHLETE mode, based on your
activity level.
Normal Mode:
• For people with lower activity, frequency, intensity and time
• For people who are currently not exercising or active
Athlete Mode:
• For people with higher activity, frequency, intensity and time
Calculate your FIT index with this formula:
I FIT Index = (A) Frequency x (B) Intensity x (C) Time
Set to NORMAL= FIT Index < 60
Set to ATHLETE = FIT Index 2: 60
(A) Frequency
