Safety Precautions
Note that 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 function are not intended for pregnant women.
Do not place this monitor on slippery surfaces such as a wet floor.
Recorded data may be lost if the monitor is used incorrectly or is exposed to electrical power surges. Tanita takes no responsibility
for any kind of loss caused by the loss of recorded data. 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 7-17) 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 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.
Recorded data may be lost if the unit is used incorrectly or is exposed to electrical power surges. Tanita takes no responsibility for any
kind of loss caused by the loss of recorded data.
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.

To ensure accuracy, readings should be taken without clothing and under consistent
conditions of hydration. If you do not undress, always remove your socks or
stockings, and be sure the soles of your feet are clean before stepping on the
measuring platform.
Be sure that your heels are correctly aligned with the electrodes on the measuring
platform. Don’t worry if your feet appear too large for the unit - accurate readings
can still be obtained if your toes overhang the platform.
It is best to take readings at the same time of day. Try to wait about three hours after
rising, eating, or hard exercise before taking measurements.
While readings taken under other conditions may not have the same absolute
values, they are accurate for determining the percentage of change as long as the
readings are taken in a consistent manner. To monitor progress, compare weight
and body fat percentage taken under the same conditions over a period of time.
Note: An accurate reading will not be
possible if the soles of your feet are
not clean, or if your knees are bent or
you are in a sitting position.

Handling Tips
This monitor is a precision instrument utilizing state-of-the-art technology.
To keep the unit in the best condition, follow these instructions carefully:
•Do not attempt to disassemble the measuring platform.
•Store the unit horizontally, and place it so that the buttons will not be pressed accidentally.
•Avoid excessive impact or vibration to the unit.
•Place the unit in an area free from direct sunlight, heating equipment, high humidity, or extreme temperature change.
•Never submerge in water. Use alcohol to clean the electrodes and glass cleaner (applied to a cloth first) to keep them shiny; avoid
soaps.
•Do not step on the platform when wet.
•Do not drop any objects onto the platform.
Inserting the Batteries
Open the battery cover on the back of the measuring platform. Insert the supplied AA-
batteries as indicated.
Note: Be sure that the polarity of the batteries is set properly. If the batteries are incorrectly
positioned the fluid may leak and damage floors. If you do not intend to use this
unit for a long period of time, it is advisable to remove the batteries before storage.
Please note that the included batteries from factory may have decreased energy levels over
time.
Positioning the Monitor
Place the measuring platform on a hard, flat surface where there is minimal vibration to
ensure safe and accurate measurement.
Note: To avoid possible injury, do not step on the edge of the platform.
