Introduction
Thank you for selecting a Tanita Body Composition Monitor. This monitor is one in a wide range of
home healthcare products produced by Tanita.
This Instruction Manual will guide you through the setup procedures and outline the key features.
Please keep it handy for future reference. Additional information on healthy living can be found on our
website www.tanita.com.
Tanita products incorporate the latest clinical research and technological innovations.
All data is monitored by our Tanita Medical Advisory Board to ensure accuracy.
Actual measurements made by the BC-1000plus include weight and impedance. Based upon these
measured values, values are calculated for: body fat percentage, body water, muscle mass, physique
rating, bone mass, visceral fat rating, basal metabolic rate (BMR), Daily Calorie Intake (DCI) and metabolic age.
Note: Read this Instruction Manual carefully and keep it handy for future reference.
Safety Precautions
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 functions are not intended for pregnant women.
Do not place this monitor on slippery surfaces such as a wet floor.
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, for
at least 6 months, 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.
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. It is recommended that if
possible all readings should be taken at the end of one’s day since in the morning after rising from sleep, hydration levels are
at their lowest.

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.
• 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.
• Do not use this scale while operating transmitters (such as a cell phone) as this may affect your results.
• If not in use for a prolonged period of time it is recommended that you remove 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 the 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.
Use carpet feet when the scale is used on soft surface, such as rugs or carpetings.
Getting accurate readings
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 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
Heels centered on
electrodes
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.
Toes may overhang
measuring platform
2
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.
