Useful features of the TBF-531

The TBF-531 allows you to measure both weight and body fat percentage simultaneously
as easily and simply as stepping on a scale.
The TBF-531 can be set for Adult/Child, gender and height, increasing the accuracy of
the measurements.
Personal data (Adult/Child, gender, height) can be pre-set in memory for up to four
persons.
The unit also features a weight only mode.
Switching the weight mode
The TBF-531 can record measurements in lb (pounds), kg (kilograms), or st-lb (British
stone pounds). Select the preferred weight mode by using the switch on the back of
the measuring platform (see illustration at left).

The power will shut down automatically within 10 to 20 seconds, depending
upon the type of operation.
• If an extraordinary weight is applied to the platform.
• If you make a mistake during measurement or a key operation.
• After you have completed the measurement process.
