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.
Safety Precautions
• Persons with implanted 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.
