INTRODUCTION

GB

1

Thank you for selecting a Tanita Body Fat Monitor/Scale. This model uses the BIA (Bioelectrical
Impedance Analysis) technique, a state-of-the-art technology for body fat assessment.

Safety Precautions

• Persons with implanted medical equipment, such as a pacemaker, should not use
the Body Fat Monitor feature on this Tanita Body Fat Monitor/Scale. This Body Fat
Monitor/Scale passes a low-level electrical signal through the body, which may
interfere with the operation of a pacemaker.

• The Tanita Body Fat Monitor/Scales are intended for home use only. This unit 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 this unit on slippery surfaces such as wet floors.

Important Notes for Users

This Tanita Body Fat Monitor/Scale is intended for adults and children (age 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.

Guide to Using this Manual:

Owners of the BF-559 should watch for text highlighted in blue. These items of text describe the
additional features of your scale.
Owners of the BF-558 should disregard the highlighted text.

Note: Read this Instruction Manual carefully and
keep it handy for future reference.

Note: Body fat percentage estimates will vary with
the amount of water in the body, and can be
affected by dehydration or overhydration due to
such factors as alcohol consumption,
menstruation, illness, intense exercise, etc.
