Caution Symbols Thank you for purchasing this precision crafted Tanita product. This product is intended for use with the assistance of a health care or fitness professional. For optimum performance and safety, please familiarize yourself with the Caution Symbols below. These symbols are designed to alert the user to potential hazards when using this equipment. Ignoring these Caution Symbols may result in serious injury, or damage to the product. Please be sure to review before proceeding with the INSTRUCTION MANUAL. This symbol indicates the possibility of serious injury if the product is mishanWARNING dled or instructions are ignored.
symbol indicates the possibility of ELECTRICAL SHOCK. Please pay special attention to sections which bear this mark. WARNING This This symbol indicates the possibility of physical injury or equipment damage if CAUTION instructions are ignored.

This symbol indicates general precautions that should be taken when using this product.

• Individuals with a Pacemaker or Other Internal Medical Devices WARNING Because Tanita’s Body Composition Analyzers send a weak electrical current through

the body, Individuals Who Have a Pacemaker or Other Internal Electrical Medical Devices Should Not Use This Product. The weak electrical signal may cause such internal devices to malfunction. • Cross Contamination The Body Composition Analyzer should be used with bare feet. Please be sure to clean the weighing platform with appropriate disinfectant after each use. Never pour any liquid directly on the weighing platform, as it may leak and cause internal damage that could cause the product to malfunction. Use a soft cloth and appropriate disinfectant or mild cleaners to wipe off weighing platform. Do not wipe the weighing platform with strong chemicals. • Please consult your Physician before beginning any weight management program and for help in establishing your target body fat percent. Tanita Corporation is not responsible for establishing individualized target body fat percent values. • The minimum percent body fat values used to calculate the Minimum Wrestling Weight (in wrestler mode) are derived from the 1996 American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) Position Stand “Weight Loss in Wrestlers”, that has been adopted by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) in their 1998 Weight Management Guidelines. TANITA Corporation is not responsible for establishing these minimum requirements, nor for any future changes to the current standards. Tanita is providing information only, and does not recommend the application of the guidelines for any given individual. State wrestling associations may have standards and guidelines that differ from the NCAA. (TBF-300 WA) • To reduce the risk of fire hazards or equipment damage, use only the original AC adapter provided by TANITA.

Maintenance

In order to insure optimum performance of this Body Composition Scale, please observe the following instructions: • Unplug the unit from the wall outlet when it will not be in use for long periods of time. • Always turn the equipment off before unplugging from a wall outlet. • Never disassemble the equipment. Always call the nearest Tanita dealer or branch office for instruction. • In order to reduce the risk of a short circuit, please keep any liquid or metal objects (paper clips, etc.) away from the printer. • Do not drop the unit, and avoid locations with constant vibration. • Avoid placing the weighing platform or display in direct sunlight, or too close to a heating unit. • Avoid rapid temperature fluctuations. • Excessive humidity may damage the equipment. • When transferred to any location where there is a difference of more than 20˚C (40˚F), wait 2 hours before using.

General Instructions for Accurate Measurement

The body composition analyzer is designed for standard and athletic individuals. However, certain individuals may not receive accurate results, as they fall outside the population for which Tanita equations were developed. • Because this body composition analyzer uses a minor electric current to measure impedance (electrical resistance), best results will be observed when measurement is taken in bare feet. • Poor contact between the feet and electrodes may produce an error message. Heels should be placed directly on top of the posterior electrodes, while the front part of the foot needs to be in contact with the anterior electrodes. Also, make sure the soles of the feet are free of excess dirt, as this may act as a barrier to the mild current. • If there are calluses on the soles of the feet, or an individual is wearing thin nylons, accurate measurement may still be possible. Place 0.5cc of saline or water in the center of each electrode. This will act as a conductive material, and may allow the current to pass freely through a thin barrier. • Keep the electrodes clean by wiping them with disinfectant. • Fluctuations in hydration status may affect body composition results. • Wrestlers should confirm proper hydration (i.e. urine specific gravity (USG) testing) before assessing body fat percent and weight. Severe dehydration will skew the Body Fat Percent reading. • Interpretation of Results The data provided by this machine, as well as any supplementary information such as diet or exercise programs based on this data, should be interpreted by a licensed professional. For more information regarding Accurate Measurement, please refer to the Technical Notes booklet.

• Inserting and Removing the Power Cord WARNING To reduce the risk of electric shock or product damage, never insert or remove the  power cord with wet hands. • To avoid a fire hazard, make sure the wall outlet is functioning properly; avoid using multiple outlet extension cords.

CAUTION 6

• To reduce the chance of inaccurate measurement, be sure to place the weighing platform on a flat and stable surface. • To reduce risk of injury or equipment malfunction, always step on the weighing platform slowly. • When handling printer unit, avoid any sharp edges.

Minimum Wrestling Weight is calculated according to the methodology adopted by the NCAA (1998 Guidelines). The

predetermined minimum body fat percent. The 1996 ACSM Position Stand “Weight Loss in Wrestlers” as adopted by

calculations are as follows:

the NCAA recommends the following MINIMUM body fat percents as follows:

Body Fat Percent (BF%) = (4.57 / Body Density - 4.142) X 100 (Brozek equation)

5% for Collegiate Athletes

Fat weight (FW) = Body Weight (BW) X BF% / 100

7% for High School Athletes

Fat free Weight (FFW) = BW - FW Minimum Wrestling Weight (MWW)** = FFW / Predetermined Minimum BF%*

<To set the Minimum Body Fat Percent> 1. Turn on the power while pressing the [5] key or the [7] key. Depending on the key pressed, ‘05’ or ‘07’ will be displayed at the bottom of the screen. [5] : Sets the Minimum BF% to the automatic calculation value of 5% (Collegiate level) in Wrestler mode [7] : Sets the Minimum BF% to the automatic calculation value of 7% (High School level) in Wrestler mode •If the number of print outs is set to “0”, this item cannot be preset. •If the Wrestler Mode is not turned ON, this item cannot be preset. Please read “C. Setting the Original Mode” on P.24. •The target BF% value is completely separate from the Minimum Wrestling Weight (Min WEIGHT) calculations. For example: The target BF% value may be entered as 15%, even though the Min WEIGHT is calculated at a predetermined minimum body fat of 5 or 7%.

* If the predetermined minimum BF% is 7% : MWW = FFW / 0.93 * If the predetermined minimum BF% is 5% : MWW = FFW / 0.95 ** MWW appears as “Min WEIGHT” on the printout. •The minimum percent body fat values used to calcuate the Minimum Wrestling CAUTION Weight (MWW) are derived from the 1996 American College of Sports Medicine
(ACSM) Position Stand “Weight Loss in Wrestlers”, that has been adopted by the

National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) in their 1998 Weight Management Guidelines. Tanita Corporation is not responsible for establishing these minimum requirements and guidelines, nor for any future changes to the current standards. Tanita is providing information only, and does NOT recommend the application of the guidelines for any given individual. State wrestling associations may have standards that differ from the NCAA. •The Minimum Wrestling Weight as calculated with the minimum body fat percent is the MINIMUM weight at which an athlete may be allowed to compete. The MINIMUM body fat percent and resulting MINIMUM wrestling weight may NOT be the optimal body fat or weight for a given individual athlete. Attempting to achieve these MINIMUM standards does NOT necessarily impact the athlete’s performance, and may be unhealthy for given individuals. •If it is necessary to set the Minimum BF% to a value other than 5% or 7%, please contact our customer service department.

Enter Gender and Body Type Select from one of four body types: Standard Male, Standard Female, Athletic Male, Athletic Female. The Athletic Key should be selected for individuals aged 17 or more and under the following conditions: Tanita defines “athlete” as a person involved in intense physical activity of at least 10 hours per week 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. Tanita’s athlete definition does not include “enthusiastic beginners” who are making a real commitment to exercising at least 10 hours per week but whose bodies have not yet changed to require the Athlete mode. Please see Technical Notes booklet for further explanation * TBF-300WA This model will automatically default to the wrestler calculation for all males between ages 13-18.

Example: 16% = Press the [1] [6] keys. 9% = Press the [0] [9] keys. Note for wrestlers (if Wrestler Mode is selected and Wrestler Mode is ON in the case of the TBF-300 WA): The target body fat percent value is completely separate from the Minimum Wrestling Weight (Min WEIGHT) calculations. For example: The target BF % value may be entered as 15%, even though the Min WEIGHT is calculated at a predetermined minimum body fat of 5% or 7%. See P.22/23 for more information and precautions.

* If “0” print out is chosen, the “Target Body Fat %” screens will not

appear on the display.

• Consult your physician before beginning any weight management program and to establish appropriate individualized body fat percent targets. Tanita Corporation is not responsible for establishing appropriate Target Body Fat Percent values for any given individual. • Please see technical notes for more information regarding Desirable Body Fat Percent Ranges. Note that while certain types of athletes may attempt to achieve and maintain single digit body fat percents to potentially affect their athletic performance, this is not advisable for the average individual attempting reasonable weight / fat loss. There are specific health risks associated with low body fat percents, especially for women and children. Consult your Physician regarding reasonable fat / weight loss goals.
