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.

PREPARATIONS BEFORE USE
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.
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.
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 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
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
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.
AUTOMATIC SHUT-DOWN FUNCTION
The automatic shut-down function shuts off the power automatically in the following cases:
・If you interrupt the measurement process. The power will shut down automatically within 10 to 20 seconds.

・During programming, if you do not touch any of the keys or buttons within 60 seconds.*
・After you have completed the measuring process.
*Note: If the power shuts off automatically, repeat the steps from “Setting and Storing Personal Data in Memory” (p.3).
