Setting and Storing Personal Data in the Memory 5. Measuring Your Body Composition Check “0.0lb” (0.00kg, 0.0stlb) is shown on the display, then step on the platform. Registered personal data and the measurement results are displayed in order, then the power switches off automatically.
Taking Measurements with iPhone App When the platform power is off, select "Get New" in the app and then follow the instructions in the app. When “0.0lb” (0.00kg, 0.0stlb) is displayed, step onto the platform. Measurement data is automatically sent to the iPhone. If there is unsent data stored on the platform, that data is also sent to the iPhone.
Taking Measurements You can start taking measurements when you have finished entering your personal data. 1. Step onto the Platform Step onto the platform when the power is off. The platform starts measuring automatically. 2. View Your Results After taking measurements, your results are automatically displayed in the order listed on the next page. After the last result data is displayed, the weight is displayed again and then the platform automatically turns off.

Next, follow the steps below: Set the age, gender (male/ female/ male athlete/ female athlete) and height. Step onto the platform after "0.0lb"...
Tanita Body Composition Monitors calculate your body composition using Dual Frequency Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA). Safe, low-level electrical signals are passed through the body via the Tanita foot pads on the platform. The signal can flow easily through fluids in muscles and other body tissue but meets resistance as it passes through body fat, because body fat only contains a small amount of fluid.

What Is Body Fat Percentage? Body fat percentage is the amount of body fat as a proportion of your body weight. Reducing excess levels of body fat has been clinically proven to reduce the risk of certain conditions such as high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes and cancer.

The basic method of calculating Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is a standard equation that uses weight and age. Tanita has conducted in-depth clinical research into the relationship of BMR and body composition resulting in a much more accurate and personalized reading for the user based on impedance measurements. This method has been medically validated using indirect calorimetry (measuring breathcomposition).*...
