Instruction Manual carefully and keep it handy for future reference. PRINCIPLES OF ESTIMATING BODY FAT PERCENTAGE 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. Tanita Body Fat Monitor/Scales allow you to determine your body fat percentage at home as easily as you measure your weight. 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. 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. 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. 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. Tanita's patented "foot-pad" design sends a safe, lowlevel electrical signal through the body to determine its composition. 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. 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. 1 2 UM050/ 06.2.22 6:09 PM 7 GB GB 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. Approximately 50 ­65% of the weight of a healthy person is water. 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.
