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.

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.

Body Fat Percentage Fluctuations in a Day

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, 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,

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.

INTRODUCTION

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 electronic 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 Body fat monitor is intended for adults and children (ages 7-17) with inactive to

moderately active lifestyles.

It is not intended for people with athletic body types. Tanita defines “athlete” as a

person involved in intense physical activity of at least 10 hours per week and who

has a resting heart rate of approximately 60 beats per minute or less.

People with athletic body types should use Tanita Body Fat Monitor/Scales

equipped with Athlete mode.

This scale 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.

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 over-hydration due to

such factors as alcohol consumption,

menstruation, illness, intense exercise, etc.

Tanita’s patented “foot-pad”

design sends a safe, low-

level electrical signal

through the body to

determine its composition.
