PRINCIPLES OF ESTIMATING BODY FAT PERCENTAGE
Tanita Body Fat Monitor/Scales allow you to determine your body fat percentage
at home as easily as you measure your weight.
What is Body Fat Percentage?
Body fat percentage is the percentage of fat in your body. Too much body fat has
been linked to conditions such as high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes,
cancer, and other disabling conditions.

Tanita’s patented “footpad” design sends a
safe, low-level electrical
signal through the body to
determine its composition.

that is appropriate for your body,
consult your physician.
The BIA Method
Tanita Body Fat Monitor/Scales use the BIA (Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis)
technique. In this method, a safe, low-level electrical signal is passed through
the body. It is difficult for the signal to flow through fat in the human body, but
easy to flow through moisture in the muscle and other body tissues. The difficulty
with which a signal flows through a substance is called impedance. So the more
resistance, or impedance, the signal encounters, the higher the body fat reading.
Hydration Fluctuations
Hydration levels in the body may affect body fat readings. Readings are usually
highest in the early waking hours, since the body tends to be dehydrated after
a long night’s sleep. For the most accurate reading using BIA, a person should
take a body fat percentage reading at a consistent time of day under consistent
conditions. Besides this basic cycle of fluctuations in the daily body fat readings
using BIA, variations may be caused by hydration changes in the body due to
eating, drinking, menstruation, illness, exercising, and bathing. Daily body fat
readings are unique to each person, and depend upon one’s lifestyle, job and
activities.

USEFUL FEATURES
• Tanita Body Fat Monitor/Scales allow you to measure both weight and body fat percentage simultaneously and easily, simply by
stepping on a scale.
• Your Body Fat Monitor/Scale can be set for Adults or Children (ages 7-17), Male or Female.
• Personal data (Female/Male, Age, Height) can be pre-set and stored in the personal data memory for 2 users.
• The unit emits a helpful “beep” when activated, and also at various stages in the programming and measuring process. Listen for
these sounds which will prompt you to step on the unit, look at your readings, or confirm a setting.
• Auto-recognition feature instantly recognizes each user.
SWITCHING THE WEIGHT MODE
You can switch the unit indication by using the switch on the back of the scale as shown in the figure.
Note: If weight mode is set to pounds or stone-pounds, the height programming mode will be automatically set to feet and inches.
Similarly, if kilograms is selected, height will be automatically set to centimetres.
Note: For use only with models containing the weight mode switch
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 30 seconds, depending upon the
type of operation.
• If an extraordinary weight is applied to the platform.
• 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 Data in Memory" (p.5).

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 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.
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.
TAKING WEIGHT AND BODY FAT READINGS
After programming your personal data you are ready to take a reading.
1. Tap the ON/OFF Key
The unit will beep and the display will show “0.0”. Now step onto the platform.
Note: If you step onto the platform before “0.0” appears the display will show
“Error” and you will not obtain a reading. Furthermore, if you do not step onto
the measuring platform within about 30 seconds after “0.0” appears, the power is
shut-off automatically.
Toes may overhang
measuring platform
2. Get Your Readings
Your weight will be shown first. Continue to stand on the platform.
“00000” will appear on the display and disappear one by one from left to right.
The readings will be shown alternately 5 times as follows:
