eating.
Ensure arms are not touching sides and inner thighs are not touching each other during
measurement. If necessary, place a dry towel between arm and side and/or between thighs.
Do not take measurements while using transmitters, such as mobile phones, which may
affect readings.
Use the device under the same conditions and in the same position as
much as possible to track changes.
Readings are greatly affected by the level of hydration and position of the body.
Please use at the same time each day, under the same conditions and in the same
body position.
Avoid measuring in locations of greatly differing temperature.
May result in measurement errors. When the equipment has been moved to a
location ±20ºC, allow to equipment for at least 2 hours before using.
Always hold both arms straight down when taking measurements to prevent measurement
errors such as undermeasurement of body fat.
Bare feet should be placed correctly on the electrode platform.
Place arms straight down during measurement.
Use in a stable location.
Errors in measurements may occur when the device is used in an unstable location.

(Names and Functions of Display Panel & Operation Keys)
This equipment and the attached instruction manual use expressions including terminology sited in
the NAWI directive. Please review the following terminology explanations before use.
• Max (Maximum capacity)
This shows the maximum weight that can be measured by the scale.
[Example]
In the case of “Max = 200 kg”, it can be used to measure an individual up to 200 kg.
* Individuals exceeding the weight capacity cannot be measured.
• e (Minimum graduation)
This shows the amount of one scale mark (graduation). In the case of a digital display, this shows
the numeric interval value.
[Example]
In the case of e = 0.1 kg”, the display increases or decreases in intervals of 0.1 kg.
• PT
To measure the body weight more accurately, the “Preset Tare Deduction” function automatically
subtracts the pre-input weight of the clothes (TARE). The pre-input weight of the clothes is called
“Preset Tare” (PT).

<Using batteries>
<Using the AC adapter>
(1) Insert the AC adapter jack into the AC
adapter inlet on the right side of the
main unit.
(2) Plug the AC adapter into the power
outlet.
• This equipment must be used with the
included AC adapter (model A30930G).
• Ple ase obse rve the followin g
instructions for accurate measurement.
Measurement may not be possible on
the unstable environment.
During weight measurement, please
don’t touch any connecting cable “such
as an AC Adapter cable and PC communication cable” to avoid causing unstable scale installation.
• Please change the batteries LR6 (AA) carefully to avoid dropping them on your feet.
• Ensure that the batteries are inserted with
the correct polarity / . If the polarity is
incorrect, then the batteries may leak and
damage the equipment.
• When not in use for a long time, remove the
batteries before storing the equipment.

Various criteria
20
When necessary
(Various criteria)
Underfat : below the healthy body fat range. Increased risk for health problems.
Healthy : within the healthy body fat percentage range for your age/gender.
Overfat : above the healthy range. Increased risk for health problems.
Obese : high above the healthy body fat range.
Greatly increased risk of obesity-related health problems.
Criteria based on body fat percentage
Body fat percentage is the amount of body fat as a proportion of your body weight.
Reducing excess levels of body fat has shown to reduce the risk of certain conditions such as high
blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes and cancer. The chart below shows the healthy ranges for
body fat.
Page 21
GB
21
When necessary
(Various criteria)
What is total body water percentage?
Total Body Water Percentage is the total amount of fluid in a person’s body expressed as a
percentage of their total weight.
Water plays a vital role in many of the body’s processes and is
found in every cell, tissue and organ. Maintaining a healthy total body water percentage will ensure
the body functions efficiently and will reduce the risk of developing associated health problems.
Your body water levels naturally fluctuate throughout the day and night. Your body tends to be
dehydrated after a long night and there are differences in fluid distribution between day and night.
Eating large meals, drinking alcohol, menstruation, illness, exercising, and bathing may cause
variations in your hydration levels.
Your body water percentage reading should act as a guide and should not be used to specifically
determine your absolute recommended total body water percentage. It is important to look for
long-term changes in total body water percentage and maintain a consistent, healthy total body
water percentage.
Drinking a large quantity of water in one sitting will not instantly change your water level. In fact, it
will increase your body fat reading due to the additional weight gain. Please monitor all readings
over time to track the relative change.
Every individual varies but as a guide the average total body water percentage ranges for a healthy
adult are:
Female
:45 to 60%
Male
:50 to 65%
Source
:Based on Tanita's Internal Research
Note:
The total body water percentage will tend to decrease as the percentage of body fat increases.
A person with a high percentage of body fat may fall below the average body water percentage. As
you lose body fat the total body water percentage should gradually move towards the typical range
given above.
