Safety Precautions

People with an electronic medical implant, such as a pacemaker, should not use a Body Fat 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.

Important Notes for Users

This Body fat monitor is intended for children (ages 5-17) with inactive to moderately active lifestyles.

The body fat monitor function is not intended for pregnant women, professional athletes or bodybuilders.

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.
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.

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.

• 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.

Note : To avoid possible injury, do not step on the edge of 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 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.

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

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.
