Handling
Storage
Clean-up
This product is precisely manufactured and accurately calibrated. Please observe the following instructions to ensure best results.
This equipment and the attached instruction manual use expressions including terminology sited in the NAWI directive.
Please review the following terminology explanations before use.
•Max (Maximum capacity)
This shows the maximum weight that can be measured by the scale.
[Example] In the case of “Max = 270 kg”, it can be used to measure an individual up to 270 kg.
* Individuals exceeding the weight capacity cannot be measured.
•e(Minimum graduation)
This shows the amount of one scale mark (graduation). In the case of a digital display, this shows the numeric interval value.
[Example] In the case of e = 0.05 kg”, the display increases or decreases in intervals of 0.05 kg.
•PT
To measure the body weight more accurately, the “Preset Tare Deduction” function automatically subtracts the pre-input weight of the
clothes (TARE). The pre-input weight of the clothes is called “Preset Tare” (PT).

For correct measurement
Do not attempt to take measurements
after excessive consumption of either
food or drink, or while dehydrated.
Prohibited
Measurements are significantly affected
by changes in bodily water volume and
body temperature. It is therefore
recommended that measurements be
taken after going to the toilet, and
ideally measurements should be taken at
the same time every day under the same
conditions.
Monitoring any fluctuations is recommended for reference for the following types of
people.
• Patients undergoing artificial dialysis or with swellings
Method of abandoning product
• When disposing of this unit, please do so in accordance with the prevailing regulations in each country.
ProhibitedProhibited
Do not take measurements in areas
subject to significant temperature
changes.
The results may be erroneous. In the
event of the product being moved
somewhere with a temperature
difference of 20˚C or more, do not use
for at least 2 hours after such a
relocation.
Do not take measurements
immediately after strenuous
exercise.
The results may be erroneous. Please
ensure that the individual being
measured is sufficiently rested first.
Instructions
•Do not use this equipment near other products that emit electromagnetic waves.
Erroneous operation is possible as a result of interference with certain lighting equipment, medical instruments, and communications
equipment (such as inverter fluorescent lighting, microwave therapy devices, and mobile
phones), so these factors should be checked before use.
•Bare feet should be placed correctly on the electrode panel for
measurement.
Incorrect positioning may result in a lower fat % than is actually the case, or an error
message may be shown.
Feet should be positioned on the heel and toe electrodes on each side in roughly equal
proportions as indicated in the illustration on the right.
•Place arms straight down during measurement.
Other positions may induce a lower than actual fat %, or an error message may be shown.
•As far as possible, you should try to take measurements under the same conditions
each day in order to determine any fluctuations.
Otherwise, errors may be observed in the measured value. In order to enhance overall accuracy,
measurements should be taken at the same time every day, but not during the three hours after getting
up in the morning, or three hours after meals.
•Clean any dust or dirt from the palms and soles of the feet before measurement.
Such contaminants may induce a lower than actual fat %, or an error message may be shown.
•Avoid contact between the arms and torso, and between the inner thighs.
Such contact may induce a lower than actual fat %, or an error message may be shown. If they come
into contact because the measurement is being taken while naked or partially naked, a dry towel or
similar should be used as a barrier during measurement.

•For athletic individuals, the impedance
used for measurement fluctuates
significantly before and after competition
or after hard training, so body
composition calculated under such
circumstances also changes, and accurate
measurement may not be possible in
some cases.
•Even when athletic mode is selected for
body type, individuals aged 17 or
younger automatically revert to the
standard setting.
•When the clothes weight is input, weight
after deducting the weight of the clothes
(i.e. net weight) is shown as the
measured results.
•When the measuring platform is clear and
operation is suspended for five minutes,
the stand-by screen is displayed.

Whole body data
Weight :Measured weight. Values based on BMI of 22 being defined as standard weight.
Fat % :Indicates fat ratio of the weight.
Fat mass :Indicates fat mass of the body.
FFM :Weight of non-fat components (i.e. muscle, water, bone, etc.).
Muscle mass :Indicates constituent mass other than fat and bone mineral. Muscle mass displayed by this equipment is the value
including skeletal muscles, plain muscle (i.e. internal organs, etc.) and TBW.
TBW :Indicates amount of total body water and is composed of blood, lymph fluid, intercellular fluid, intracellular fluid, etc.
BMI :Calculated as weight (kg) divided by height squared (m)2. “22” is considered the optimum value, i.e. least susceptible to
illness.
Bone Mass :Indicates bone mineral level of all bones.
*Standard values are for standard mode. These standard values should only be used as reference for athletic types. For 17 year-old or younger, only the fat % is
displayed as the standard value. Muscle mass, TBW, and bone mass values should be used for reference.
Body type assessment based on fat % and muscle mass
Body type is comprehensively assessed in accordance with the fat % and muscle mass.
*Fat % only is displayed for 17 year-old or younger.
Total Body Water (TBW)
Indicates the amount of water included in the body, for example, blood, lymph fluid, intercellular fluids, intracellular fluids, etc. Body
water functions to transport nutrition, collect waste products, and maintain your body temperature at a certain level. Appropriate fat
% ranges are about 55~ 65% for male and 45~60% for female.
ECW/TBW
Body water can be roughly classified as intercellular and intracellular fluids, but the ratio differs depending on each person. It is known
that this ratio is dependent on body composition rate, and obese individuals tend to have more intracellular fluid.
*Not displayed for 17 year-old or younger.
Visceral fat rating
Visceral fat indicates the fat in the internal abdominal cavity and is not easily analysed visually. It can be used for health control by
checking changes in long-term visceral fat ratings.
*Not displayed for 17 year-old or younger.
BMR/BMR analysis
This equipment shows BMR categorized under three levels, namely : less, normal and more relative to average BMR values and
statistical distribution per age group.
*Not displayed for 17 year-old or younger.
Segmental analysis
Fat and muscle segmental analysis. Proportion and muscle training results can be confirmed figuratively. Fat content on the trunk,
which is considered to be closely associated with lifestyle-related diseases, can easily be checked.
*Graphs showing comparisons with the average are not displayed for 17 year-old or younger.
Muscle mass balance
Muscle mass balance between the left and right arms and legs is compared and analyzed. Loss of balance may indicate abnormal
body function.
*Graphs showing comparisons with the average are not displayed for 17 year-old or younger.
Body fat ranges
The amount of fat in the trunk is divided by the lower legs value. Which part of the body (upper or lower segment) contains more fat
can be assessed. As the fat ratio around the abdomen increases, so does this value.
*Not displayed for 17 year-old or younger.
Other information
Reactance/resistance data is displayed. (Analysis results do not affect assessment.)
•Measurement results for scale mode are printed in this segment.
•In the case of 17 year-old or younger, the Rohrer index *** is printed. (*** changes in accordance with the measurement results.)
