Thank you for purchasing a Taylor® Precision Product. Your Taylor® Body Fat Analyzer and Scale is an example of superior design and craftsmanship. Please read this instruction manual carefully before use. Keep these instruc- tions handy for future reference. INTRODUCTION How Taylor's Body Fat Analyzer and Scale Works: This instrument uses BIA (Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis). BIA is one of the most accurate methods of measuring body fat. It simply sends a harm- less signal through the fat and

BATTERY INFORMATION AND GENERAL SET-UP This scale operates on 4 AAA batteries (included). Insert the 4 AAA batteries into the battery compartment. Ensure the + and - terminals are the correct way round. Some models have a static cling label on the lens to prevent scratching. Please remove before use. Your scale has been set to measure in pounds and inches (lb). To change the measurement units to kilograms/centimeters or stone/inches, move the switch on the bottom of the scale to (kg) or (st-lb).

USING YOUR BODY FAT SCALE In order to measure body fat and body water, you must first enter your height, age, and gender. The analyzer uses these factors to calculate your results. Onscreen prompts will lead you through programming your personal information into the analyzer. The analyzer will then use this data to com- pute your body fat/body water percentages. You must have bare feet to use the body fat analyzer function. Remove your shoes and socks before proceeding. To get the most accurate

older. For ages 17 or under, this step is automatically bypassed). 7. Press the SET button to confirm all settings. A “beep” sound and an “R” icon on the LCD screen indicate successful programming, Your personal data is now saved in memory. 8. Repeat procedure for a second user. MEMORY FUNCTIONS This scale has 4 personal memory settings. You may save your height, age, gender, and normal/athlete selections into one of these memories. Once your personal data has been stored into memory, you may ta

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS How exactly is my body fat and water being measured? The Taylor Body Analyzer Scale uses a measurement method known as Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA). A minute current is sent through your body, via your feet and legs. This current flows easily through the lean muscular tissue, which has a high fluid content, but not easily through fat. Therefore, by measuring your body’s impedance (i.e. its resistance to the cur- rent), the quantity of muscle can be determined. Fro

Why should I avoid using the Taylor Body Analyzer Scale while pregnant? During pregnancy a woman’s body composition changes considerably in order to support the developing child. Under these circumstances, body fat percentage readings could be inaccurate and misleading. Why is the Taylor Body Analyzer Scale unsuitable for athletes and children? The body compositions of both athletes and children require different mathe- matic algorithms for the body fat calculation. TROUBLE SHOOTING 1. You must

WARNING MESSAGES EEEE = Overload Warning. The maximum weigh- ing capacity of the scale has been exceeded. Remove the weight immediately; otherwise, per- manent damage to the scale will occur. ER0 = Instability error. Step off and back onto the scale, standing still while your weight computes. ER3 = Contact error. Body impedance is beyond the technical limit. Clean bottom of feet with a damp cloth, leave slightly damp, and repeat meas- urement again, maintaining maximum contact between your feet

Body Water 3. It is recommended to measure body fat, body water or weight at the same time period daily. Please note that body fat contains some body water weight. Thus, body fat and body water percentages will not add up to 100%. 4. Use this product without clothing for best accuracy. Clothes can vary in weight and affect the percentage calculation. 5. Feet must be bare and clean. For best readings they should also be slightly damp. LEVEL OF HYDRATION This analyzer measures your weight, the ele
