Introduction
Thank you for selecting the UltimateScale by Tanita. This precision digital
scale can also be used to determine body fat percentage. This model uses the
BIA (Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis) method, a state-of-the-art technology
for body fat assessment.
Safety Precautions
• Persons with pacemakers, or other implanted electrical medical equipment, should not
use the UltimateScale as a body fat monitor. The BIA method used to determine body fat
percentage passes a low-level electrical signal through the body that may interfere with
the operation of a pacemaker.
• The UltimateScale with body fat monitor function is intended for home use only. It is not
intended for professional use in hospitals or other medical facilities. It is not equipped with
the quality standards required for heavy usage experienced under professional conditions.
• Do not use the UltimateScale on slippery surfaces such as wet floors.
• Disabled people should be assisted by someone else, or use a handrail when using the
UltimateScale.
Important Notes for Users
The UltimateScale is intended for use by adults and children with moderately active to inactive lifestyles. It is not intended for people with athletic body types.
Tanita defines “athlete” as a person involved in intense physical activity of at least 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.
Tanita’s athlete definition does not include “enthusiastic beginners” who are making a real
commitment to exercising at least 10 hours per week but whose bodies have not yet changed
to require the Athlete mode.
People with athletic body types should use Tanita Body Fat Monitor/Scales equipped with
Athlete mode.
Body fat percentage estimates may be slightly lower or higher for the following categories
of people:
• Adults seventy years old or older
• Persons undergoing dialysis
• Persons suffering from edema
Body fat percentage estimates for these persons should not be treated as absolute values, but
may be used as relative values for checking body fat percent variations over a period of time.
The UltimateScale is not intended for pregnant women, professional athletes or bodybuilders.
Recommendations for exercise programs or diets based on calculated data should be
determined by a doctor or licensed medical professional. Do not attempt to evaluate
the data by yourself.
Tanita takes no responsibility for any kind of damage or loss caused by these products, or
any kind of claim made by a third person.
Note: Body fat estimates will vary with the amount of moisture in the body, and can be affected by
overhydration or dehydration caused by such factors as consumption of alcohol or caffeine, strenuous
exercise, illness, menstruation, etc.
