<Power Source> Voltage Range Frequency Range Electric Current Range
230VAC 50Hz 65mA
This equipment sends out a very weak electric current to measure impedance (electrical resistance) of the body. Therefore, in principle, users need to use this equipment with bare feet. Moreover, since impedance fluctuates in accordance with the distribution of body fluid, please observe the following instructions for accurate measurement. • To prevent a possible discrepancy in measured values, avoid taking measurements after vigorous exercise until sufficiently rested. • To prevent inaccurately low body fat percentage measurements and other measurement errors, always hold both arms straight down when taking measurements. •As changes in body water and body temperature can have a major impact on measurements, measurements should be made every day at the same time under similar conditions (always urinating before taking measurements, etc.) to get a more accurate picture of the measurements over time. • Also, make sure the soles of feet are free of excess dirt, as this may also act as a barrier to the mild current. • False results may be reported after excessive food / fluid intake, or after periods of intense exercise. • This equipment is designed for the majority of the population leading healthy lives with a regular lifestyle. For people suffering from sickness, or whose lifestyle is very different from the norm, it is recommended that the data from this product should not be used as an absolute value, but rather as a reference to observe the rate change. • If there are calluses on the soles of the feet, or an individual is wearing thin nylons, accurate measurement may still be possible. Place 0.5ml of water in the centre of each electrode. This will act as a conductant, and may allow the current to pass freely through a thin barrier. • Measurement is sometimes impossible on a surface that is strongly vibrating. In this case, please move the equipment onto a surface with little vibration. 4

Various criteria GB
Criteria based on body fat percentage
What is total body water percentage?
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.
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.
GB
Your body water levels naturally fluctuate throughout the day and night. Your body tends to be dehydrated after a longnight 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.
Underfat : below the healthy body fat range. Increased risk for health problems. 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.
