Safety Precautions
People with an electronic medical implant, such as a pacemaker, should not use a Body Composition Monitor as it passes a low-level
electrical signal through the body, which may interfere with its operation.
Pregnant women should use the weight function only. All other functions are not intended for pregnant women.
Do not place this monitor on slippery surfaces such as a wet floor.
Tanita takes no responsibility for any kind of damage or loss caused by the monitor, or any kind of claim made by a third person.
Important Notes for Users
This Body fat monitor is intended for adults and children (ages 5-17) with inactive to moderately active lifestyles and adults with
athletic body types.
Tanita defines “athlete” as a person involved in intense physical activity of approximately 10 hours per week, for
at least 6 months, and who has a resting heart rate of approximately 60 beats per minute or less.
Tanita’s athlete definition includes “lifetime of fitness” individuals who have been fit for years but currently
exercise less than 10 hours per week.
The body fat monitor function is not intended for pregnant women, professional athletes or bodybuilders.
Tanita takes no responsibility for any kind of damage or loss caused by these units, or any kind of claim made by a third person.
Note: B ody fat percentage estimates will vary with the amount of water in the body, and can be affected by dehydration or overhydration due to such factors as alcohol consumption, menstruation, illness, intense exercise, etc. It is recommended that if
possible all readings should be taken at the end of one’s day since in the morning after rising from sleep, hydration levels are
at their lowest.

Preparations before use
Inserting the Batteries
Open the battery cover on the back of the measuring platform. Insert the supplied
AA-batteries as indicated.
Open as shown.
Direction of
the batteries.
Note: Be sure that the polarity of the batteries is set properly. If the batteries are
incorrectly positioned the fluid may leak and damage floors. If you do not intend
to use this unit for a long period of time, it is advisable to remove the batteries
before storage.
Please note that the included batteries from the factory may have decreased energy levels
over time.
Positioning the Monitor
Detachable Carpet Feet (only for
piles up to 0.28” ( 7 mm) thick)
Place the measuring platform on a hard, flat surface where there is minimal vibration to ensure safe
and accurate measurement.
Use carpet feet when the scale is used on soft surface, such as rugs or carpetings.
Note : To avoid possible injury, do not step on the edge of the platform.
Handling Tips
This monitor is a precision instrument utilizing state-of-the-art technology.
To keep the unit in the best condition, follow these instructions carefully:
• Do not attempt to disassemble the measuring platform.
• Store the unit horizontally.
• Avoid excessive impact or vibration to the unit.
• Place the unit in an area free from direct sunlight, heating equipment, high humidity, or extreme temperature change.
• Never submerge in water. Use alcohol to clean the electrodes and glass cleaner (applied to a cloth first) to keep them shiny; avoid
soaps.
• Do not step on the platform when wet.
• Do not drop any objects onto the platform.
• Do not use this scale while operating transmitters (such as a cell phone) as this may affect your results.
• If not in use for a prolonged period of time it is recommended that you remove the batteries.
Getting accurate readings
Heels centered on
electrodes
Toes may overhang
measuring platform
To ensure accuracy, readings should be taken without clothing and
under consistent conditions of hydration. If you do not undress,
always remove your socks or stockings, and be sure the soles of
your feet are clean before stepping on the measuring platform. Be
sure that your heels are correctly aligned on the measuring platform.
Don’t worry if your feet appear too large for the unit -accurate
readings can still be obtained if your toes overhang the platform.
It is best to take readings at the same time of day. Try to wait about
three hours after rising, eating, or hard exercise before taking
measurements.
While readings taken under other conditions may not have the same
absolute values, they are accurate for determining the percentage of
change as long as the readings are taken in a consistent manner. To
monitor progress, compare weight and body fat percentage taken
under the same conditions over a period of time.
Note : A n accurate reading will not be possible if the soles of your feet are not clean, or if your knees are bent or you are in a sitting
position.

Troubleshooting
• Interference may occur if multiple platforms are present. Please use only one platform in any given area.
• Do not step onto the platform before the platform beeps once and the Green Indicator Light blinks.
• Do not step off until after hearing a double beep or the Green Light remains solid (stops blinking), the measurement is taken, and
the readings are displayed on the applicable device (e.g. Garmin Watch, Tanita Remote Display, and/or PC).
• If you do not step onto the platform within 30 seconds after Green Indicator Light begins blinking, the power will shut-off
automatically.
• Constant Red Indicator Light
Make sure socks or stockings are removed, and the soles of your feet are clean and properly aligned on the measuring platform.
(see p.2)
Make sure to step onto the platform only after it has beeped twice or the Green Indicator Light is blinking.
The unit cannot accurately measure your weight if it detects movement. Please stand on the platform keeping movement to a
minimum.
If Body Fat Percentage is more than 75%, readings cannot be obtained from the unit.
Reading cannot be obtained if the weight capacity is exceeded. Weight capacity is 200kg / 440lb / 31st. 6lb.
• Blinking Red Indicator Light
Batteries are low. When the Red Indicator Light is blinking, replace the batteries immediately, since weak batteries will affect the
accuracy of your measurements. Change all the batteries at the same time with new batteries.

Body Composition Guide
for
A guide to your body composition monitor
This product may not have all the measurement abilities described in this Guide.
Please refer to the product manual for more details.
WHO CAN USE A BODY COMPOSITION MONITOR
This Body Composition Monitor is intended for adults aged 18-99 years. Children aged 5-17 years can use the monitor for weight
and body fat percentage readings and Healthy Range Indicator only ; the other features are not applicable to children.
Your monitor is also equipped with an athlete mode for adults with athletic body types. Tanita defines an athlete as a person involved
in intense physical activity of approximately 10 hours per week and has a resting heart rate of 60 beats per minute or less. Individuals
who have been an athlete for a number of years but currently exercises less than 10 hours per week can also use athlete mode.
Pregnant women should use the weight function only.
All other functions are not intended for pregnant women.
The Tanita InnerScan Body Composition Monitor is intended for home use only. This unit is not intended for professional use
including hospitals, medical or fitness facilities; it is not equipped with the adequate specifications required for heavy usage. Using
the unit in a professional location will invalidate your warranty.
The Tanita InnerScan Body Composition Monitor product provides readings for informational purposes only.
This product is not intended to diagnose or treated any disease or abnormalities. Please consult with your physician about any
questions or concerns related to your health.
WHY MONITOR BODY COMPOSITION?
Body composition monitors are designed for healthier living by giving you an insight into key health indicators that will enable you to
monitor the impact of changes to your lifestyle:
• See the impact of a change in diet on the body to make sure you are dieting in the healthy way
• Fine-tune your fitness programe by monitoring progress of muscle mass and Basal Metabolic Rate
• Monitor the level of visceral fat, which has been linked as a possible risk factor for developing Type 2 diabetes and/or heart
disease.
• Set a target for your physique and monitor your progress towards it.
HOW DOES A BODY COMPOSITION MONITOR WORK?
Tanita Body Composition Monitors calculate your body composition using Bioelectorical Impedance Analysis (BIA).
Safe, low-level electrical signals are passed through the body via the patented Tanita foot pads on the monitor platform. It is easy
for the signal to flow through fluids in the muscle and other body tissues but meets resistance as it passes through body fat , as
it contains little fluid. This resistance is called impedance. The impedance readings are then entered into medically researched
mathematical formulas to calculate your body composition.
WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO USE MY BODY COMPOSITION MONITOR?
Your body water levels naturally fluctuate throughout the day and night. Any significant changes in body water may affect your body
composition readings; for example, the body tends to be dehydrated after a long night sleep so if you take a reading first thing in the
morning your weight will be lower and your body fat percentage higher. Eating large meals, drinking alcohol, menstruation, illness,
exercising, and bathing may also cause variations in your hydration levels.
To get the most reliable reading it is important to use your Body Composition Monitor at a consistent time of day under consistent
conditions. We suggest taking a reading before your evening meal.
FOR SEGMENTAL BODY COMPOSITION MONITOR
Tanita has developed an accurate segmental body composition analyzer which correlates with the gold standard, DEXA, Dual Energy
X-ray Absorptiometry. Tanita can now analyze the distribution of body fat as well as muscle in one’s body.
Using this Segmental Body Composition Scale/Monitor, distribution in right arm, left arm, right leg, and left leg of body fat % and
muscle mass can be determined. This is especially useful for anyone who is monitoring the balance of left and right side of the body
or trying to build a particular part of one’s body. It has been said that men tend to carry body fat in the upper body while women have a
tendency to carry body fat in lower body. In addition, as you age, there is a tendency to lose muscle and gain fat.
It is important to monitor change in the distribution of body fat and muscle.
WHAT IS BODY FAT PERCENTAGE?
(Applicable age 5-99)
Body fat percentage is the amount of body fat as a proportion of your body weight.
Reducing excess levels of body fat has shown to reduce the risk of certain conditions such as high blood pressure, heart disease,
diabetes and cancer.
The chart below shows the healthy ranges for body fat.

Your Body Composition Monitor automatically compares your body fat percentage reading to the Healthy Body Fat Range chart. After
your body fat percentage has been calculated, a black bar will flash along the bottom of the display, identifying where you fall within
the Body Fat Ranges for your age and gender.
Under
Healthy

Obese
(-) : Underfat; below the healthy body fat range. Increased risk for health problems.
(0) : Healthy; within the healthy body fat percentage range for your age/gender.
(+) : Overfat; above the healthy range. Increased risk for health problems.
(++): Obese; high above the healthy body fat range.
Greatly increased risk of obesity-related health problems.
WHAT IS TOTAL BODY WATER PERCENTAGE?
(Applicable age 18-99)
Total Body Water Percentage is the total amount of fluid in a person’s body expressed as a percentage of their
total weight.
Water plays a vital role in many of the body’s processes and is found in every cell, tissue and organ. Maintaining a healthy total body
water percentage will ensure the body functions efficiently and will reduce the risk of developing associated health problems.
Your body water levels naturally fluctuate throughout the day and night. Your body tends to be dehydrated after a long night sleep
and there are differences in fluid distribution between day and night. Eating large meals, drinking alcohol, menstruation, illness,
exercising, and bathing may cause variations in your hydration levels.
Your body water percentage reading should act as a guide and should not be used to specifically determine your absolute
recommended total body water percentage. It is important to look for long-term changes in total body water percentage and maintain a
consistent, healthy total body water percentage.
Drinking a large quantity of water in one sitting will not instantly change your water level. In fact, it will increase your body fat reading
due to the additional weight gain. Please monitor all readings over time to track the relative change.
Every individual varies but as a guide the average total body water percentage ranges for a healthy adult are:
Female: 45 to 60%
Male : 50 to 65%
Source : Based on Tanita’s Internal Research
Note: The total body water percentage will tend to decrease as the percentage of body fat increases. A person with a high percentage
of body fat may fall below the average body water percentage. As you lose body fat, the total body water percentage should
gradually move towards the typical range given above.
WHAT IS VISCERAL FAT RATING?
(Applicable age 18-99)
This feature indicates the rating of visceral fat in your body.
Visceral fat is the fat that is in the internal abdominal cavity, surrounding the vital organs in the trunk (abdominal) area. Research
shows that even if your weight and body fat remains constant, as you get older the distribution of fat changes and is more likely to
shift to the trunk area especially post menopause. Ensuring you, have healthy levels of visceral fat may reduce the risk of certain
diseases such as heart disease, high blood pressure, and the onset of type 2 diabetes.
The Tanita Body Composition Monitor will provide you with a visceral fat rating from 1 – 59.
Rating from 1 – 12
Indicates you have a healthy level of visceral fat. Continue monitoring your rating to ensure that it stays within the healthy range.
Rating from 13 – 59
Indicates you have an excess level of visceral fat. Consider making changes in your lifestyle possibly through diet changes or
increasing exercise.
Source : Data from Columbia University (New York) & Tanita Institute (Tokyo)
Note:
• Even if you have a low body fat rate, you may have a high visceral fat level.
• For medical diagnosis, consult a physician.
WHAT IS BASAL METABOLIC RATE (BMR)?
(Applicable age 18-99)
WHAT IS BMR?
Your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the minimum level of energy your body needs when at rest to function effectively including your
respiratory and circulatory organs, neural system, liver, kidneys, and other organs. You burn calories when sleeping.
About 70% of calories consumed every day is used for your basal metabolism. In addition, energy is used when doing any kind of
activity however; the more vigorous the activity is the more calories are burned. This is because skeletal muscle (which accounts for
approximately 40% of your body weight) acts as your metabolic engine and uses a large amount of energy. Your basal metabolism is
greatly affected by the quantity of muscles you have, therefore increasing your muscle mass will help increase your basal metabolism.
By studying healthy individuals, scientists have found that as people age, their metabolic rate changes. Basal metabolism rises as a
child matures. After a peak at the age of 16 or 17, it typically starts to decrease gradually.
Having a higher basal metabolism will increase the number of calories used and help to decrease the amount of body fat. A low basal
metabolic rate will make it harder to lose body fat and overall weight.
HOW DOES A TANITA BODY COMPOSITION MONITOR CALCULATE BMR?
The basic way of calculating Basal Metabolic Rate BMR is a standard equation using weight and age. Tanita has conducted in-depth
research into the relationship of BMR and body composition giving a much more accurate and personalized reading for the user based on
the impedance measurement. This method has been medically validated using indirect calorimetry (measuring the breath composition).*

International Comparison: Resting Energy Expenditure Prediction Models: The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
WHAT IS DAILY CALORIE INTAKE (DCI)?
(Applicable age 18-99)
“Daily Calorie Intake (DCI)” is the sum of calories for basal metabolism, daily activity metabolism (activities including daily
household chores), and diet-induced thermogenesis (energy used in connection with digestion, absorption, metabolism, and other
eating activities). It is an estimate of how many calories you can consume within the next 24 hours to maintain your current weight.

WHAT IS METABOLIC AGE?
(Applicable age 18-99)
This feature calculates your BMR and indicates the average age associated with the type of metabolism.
If your BMR Age is higher than your actual age, it is an indication that you need to improve your metabolic rate. Increased exercise
will build healthy muscle tissue, which will improve your metabolic age.
You will obtain a reading between 12 and 90. Under 12 will be displayed as “12” and over 90 displayed as “90”.
WHAT IS MUSCLE MASS?
(Applicable age 18-99)
This feature indicates the weight of muscle in your body. The muscle mass displayed includes the skeletal muscles, smooth muscles
(such as cardiac and digestive muscles) and the water contained in these muscles.
Muscles play an important role as they act as an engine in consuming energy. As your muscle mass increases, your energy
consumption increases helping you reduce excess body fat levels and lose weight in a healthy way.
WHAT IS PHYSIQUE RATING?
This feature assesses your physique according to the ratio of body fat and muscle mass in your body.
As you become more active and reduce the amount of body fat, your physique rating will also change accordingly. Even though your
weight may not change, your muscle mass and body fat levels may be changing making you healthier and at lower risk of certain
diseases.
Each person should set their own goal of which physique they would like and follow a diet and fitness programe to meet that goal.

Explanation
Small Frame Obese
This person seems to have a healthy body type based on physical appearance; however, they have a high body
fat % with low muscle mass level.
Medium Frame Obese
This person has a high body fat percentage, with a moderate muscle mass level.
Large Frame Obese
This person has both a high body fat % and a high muscle mass.
Low Muscle & Average Body Fat %
This person has an average body fat % and a less than average muscle mass level.
Ave. Muscle & Ave. Body Fat %
This person has average levels of both body fat and muscle mass.
High Muscle & Ave. Body Fat % (Athlete)
This person has an average body fat % and higher muscle mass level than the average.
Low Muscle & Low Fat
Both body fat % and muscle mass are lower than the average.
Thin and muscular (Athlete)

WHAT IS BONE MASS?
(Applicable age 18-99)
This feature indicates the amount of bone (bone mineral level, calcium or other minerals) in the body.
Research has shown that exercise and the development of muscle tissue are related to stronger, healthier bones. While bone structure
is unlikely to make noticeable changes in a short period, it is important that you develop and maintain healthy bones by having a
balanced diet and plenty of exercise. People worried about bone disease should consult their physician. People who suffer from
osteoporosis or low bone densities due to advanced age, young age, pregnancy, hormonal treatment or other causes, may not get
accurate estimations of their bone mass.
Below is the result of estimated bone masses of persons aged 20 to 40, who are said to have the largest amounts of bone masses, by
weight. (Source: Tanita Body Weight Science Institute)
Please use the below charts as a guide to compare your bone mass reading.

Note:
• Persons described below may obtain varying readings and should take the values given for reference purposes only.
- Elderly persons
- Women during or after menopause
- People receiving hormone therapy
• “Estimated bone mass” is a value estimated statistically based on its correlation with the fat-free amount (tissues other than the
fat). “Estimated bone mass” does not give a direct judgment on the hardness or strength of the bones or the risks of bone fractures.
If you have concerns over your bones, you are recommended to consult a specialist physician.
