Important Features of the UltimateScale The UltimateScale allows you to measure both weight and body fat percentage simultaneously as easily and simply as stepping on an ordinary scale. The setting can be adjusted for an adult or child with moderately active to inactive lifestyles, increasing the accuracy of the body fat reading.
The UltimateScale is not intended for use by persons with athletic body types. (See p.1 for Tanita’s definition of “athlete.”) 1. Turn on the Power Press the Orange Set button to turn the unit on.
Instruction Manual (English) Replacing the Batteries When the batteries run low, the “Lo” message will appear in the display window. When this message appears, be sure to replace the batteries immediately, since weak batteries will affect the accuracy of your readings. Batteries are low.
To determine the percentage of body fat that is appropriate for your body, consult your physician. The BIA Method Tanita’s UltimateScale uses the BIA (Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis) method. 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 found in muscle and other lean tissues.
Dehydration, foot calluses, etc. will interfere with the fat percentage reading. Step off and repeat steps on p.4. If you need assistance, please call our toll-free customer service number at 1-800-TANITA-8 (USA and Canada only). Instruction Manual (English)
