Body Fat Analyzer
and Scale
Instruction Manual
Thank you for purchasing a Taylor® Precision Product. Your Taylor® Body
Fat Analyzer and Scale is an example of superior design and craftsmanship.
Please read this instruction manual carefully before use. Keep these instruc-
tions handy for future reference.
How Taylor's Body Fat Analyzer and Scale Works:
This instrument uses BIA (Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis). BIA is one of
the most accurate methods of measuring body fat. It simply sends a harm-
less signal through the fat and muscle in your body. This method calculates
both your personal weight and body fat simultaneously, thus giving you a
more accurate reading of your overall health and fitness.
NOTE: This instrument is a personal monitor and should be used in a con-
sistent manner for the most accurate reading. While readings might vary
between this analyzer and other methods of measurement (hydrodensitome-
try or hand held calipers), your changes in body fat percentage shown by this
instrument will be reflected accurately.
While this analyzer will work accurately as a scale for anyone and give accu-
rate body fat readings for a majority of people, it is not intended for use by
pregnant women or children under the age of 18. (See Caution)

after battery replacement. Press lightly on the scale
platform. The display will show a running zeros pattern
and automatically turn off. Your scale is now ready for use.

No special programming steps are required.
Once the scale is initialized, as previously described, you may simply step on
the scale to obtain your current weight. For a weight only reading:
1. Place the scale on a flat, hard
surface. Carpeted or uneven
floors may affect accuracy.
2. Step onto the scale platform
and remain still while the
scale computes your weight.
3. The display will flash twice
when the weight is locked.
Your weight is now displayed.

In order to measure body fat and body water, you must first enter your
height, age, and gender. The analyzer uses these factors to calculate your
results. Onscreen prompts will lead you through programming your personal
information into the analyzer. The analyzer will then use this data to com-
pute your body fat/body water percentages.
You must have bare feet to use the body fat analyzer function.
Remove your shoes and socks before proceeding. To get the most accurate
and consistent reading, wipe your feet with a damp cloth, leaving them
slightly damp before stepping on the scale.
REMINDER: The scale needs to be initialized after battery installation. The
scale may also need to be initialized if it is moved or bumped. At all other
times, you may directly proceed with the following instructions for
programming your personal data into the scale.
To initialize the scale, simply press lightly on the scale platform. The display
will show “0000” and automatically turn off. Your scale is now ready for use.
body fat, body water, etc, you must first save your height, age, and gender
data into one of the scale’s memory numbers. The scale will then use these
factors to calculate your body composition results.
You will store your data into memory before first use, thus eliminating the
need to enter your personal information before each reading. To enter your
data into memory, please see directions on the following page.
