Replacing The Batteries; Troubleshooting - Tanita TBF-551 Instruction Manual

Replacing the batteries

When the batteries run low, the "Lo" message will appear on the display window.
When this message appears, be sure to replace the batteries immediately, since weak
batteries will affect the accuracy of your measurements.
Your settings will not be erased from the memory when you remove the batteries.
Fresh batteries can last for about one year if a family of four uses the unit once every
day. The unit comes with trial batteries. Their service life may be short.

Troubleshooting

If the following problems occur...then...
"st-lb" or "kg" appears while taking a weight measurement.
The unit's "Weight Mode" has been set to measure your weight in units of stone-
pounds or kilograms. Refer to the Switching the Weight Mode (lb, kg, or st-lb) on
p.5 if you would like to change the setting back to pounds (lb).
Nothing appears in the display screen after initial display.
Be sure that the batteries are fresh and are in the correct positions. Also check
foot alignment.
Nothing appears when a Personal key is pressed, or the display shows "- - - - -"
and goes off when a Personal key is pressed.
No data (Adult, Child, Athlete, Male/Female, height) has been stored in memory
for that key. Enter data.
The body fat percentage measurement does not appear after the weight
is measured.
Vibration will interfere with measurement of the fat percentage. Be sure to stand erect
and still on the measuring platform. Do not bend your knees. Be sure that shoes and
socks are removed and check foot alignment. Step off and repeat steps on p.8.
The body fat percentage measurement is extremely low/extremely high.
Be sure you are measuring in the correct user mode (Adult, Child, Athlete,
Male/Female), and that the soles of your feet are clean and properly aligned with the
guides on the measuring platform. Dehydration, exercise, foot calluses, etc. will inter-
fere with measurement of the fat percentage. Step off and repeat steps on p.8.
The display reads "error" instead of a weight reading.
Wait for "0.0" to appear in the display before stepping onto the platform.
