Managing Users
To delete a user, select "Manage Users" from the "Users" menu. The User Profile Manager window will open

allowing you to delete users as well as add users and switch to a different user. To find a user begin typing
in the "Find" box. The users in the list will be limited to those with matching names or ID's.

If there is more than one user you can also switch users by clicking on the button with the current user's
name in the tool bar or by selecting a different user from the "Users" menu. If there are too many users for
them to be shown in a menu, you will need to use the User Profile Manager window to switch between
prfiles.

User Profile
Your User Profile contains information that Tanita Health Ware uses to calculate values and analyze your

health. You can also enter goals for yourself.
To edit your profile click the "User Profile" button in the tool bar. Select the "Personal" tab to enter your

information and the "Goals" tab to edit your goals.

Personal
General information about yourself. The data you enter here is used to make a number of
calculations so please make sure to fill it in correctly.

Name
Enter your name in the format shown.

ID
The ID appears in the User Profile Manager window and can be used to help identify the profile.

Birthday
Enter your birth date in the form "mm/dd/yyyy".

Gender
Choose "Male" or "Female".

Height
Your height in feet (ft) and inches (in) or centimeters (cm) depending on whether you selected
"English" or "Metric" units.

Stride Length
The length of an average step in inches (in) or centimeters (cm) depending on whether you
selected "English" or "Metric" units.

Units
Choose "English (Lb)", "English (St-Lb)" or "Metric". This setting affects the units shown in
measurements and graphs. It overrides the units of any automatically received measurement,
converting to the preferred units if necessary.

This setting is used when determining the Daily Calorie Intake. Choose "Low" if you get little or
no exercise, "Moderate" if you exercise occasionally or at low intensity and "High" if you regularly
engage in intense physical activity.

Body Type
Choose "Standard" or "Athlete". 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.

Scale Personal Key Number
For scales with programmable personal keys, this setting tells Tanita Health Ware which button
you push when you activate the scale to take a measurement. Setting this allows the program to
automatically switch to your measurements and add the new data when using your scale.

Garmin Watch
Tanita Health Ware can automatically import measurements from Tanita devices that have been
stored in your Garmin watch. Click "Change" and select a watch. See Using Garmin Watches
more information.
