PRINCIPLES OF ESTIMATING BODY FAT %  
Tanita Scale plus Body Fat Monitors allow you to measure your body fat percentage at home as easily  
as you measure your weight.  
What is Body Fat Percentage?  
Body fat percentage is the percentage of fat in your body. Until now, your absolute weight has  
determined whether or not you were considered overweight or obese. In recent years, the denition  
of obesity has been rened to mean the presence of excess body fat. Obesity has been linked to  
conditions such as high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and other disabling conditions.

The BIA Method  
Tanita Scale plus Body Fat Monitors use the BIA (Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis) technique. In this  
method, a safe low-level electrical signal is passed through the body. It is difcult for the signal to ow  
through fat in the human body, but easy to ow through moisture in the muscle and other body  
tissues. The difculty with which a signal ows through a substance is called impedance. So the  
amount of fat in the body can be accurately estimated by measuring the impedance. The signal used is  
very low, making it safe and imperceptible.  
Tanitas patented foot-pad”  
design sends a safe,  
low-level electrical signal  
through the body to determine  
its composition.  
The illustration on the left shows how the signal travels through the body.  
Body Fat Percentage Fluctuations in a Day  
Hydration levels in the body may affect body fat readings. Readings are usually highest in the early  
waking hours, since the body tends to be dehydrated after a long nights sleep. For the most accurate  
reading, a person should take a body fat percentage reading at a consistent time of day under  
consistent conditions.  
Besides this basic cycle of uctuations in the daily body fat readings, variations may be caused by  
hydration changes in the body due to eating, drinking, menstruation, illness, exercising, and bathing.  
Daily body fat readings are unique to each person, and depend upon ones lifestyle, job and activities.  
Advantages of Tanita Scale plus Body Fat Monitors  
Previously, body fat percentage was determined by measuring the thickness of subcutaneous fat by  
pinching it with calipers, or by laying a person on a scanning bed and passing a current from hand to  
foot. However, these methods had problemsprofessional skills are required, the procedures take  
time and are often invasive, and measurement values vary. Currently, the gold standard methods of fat  
percentage measurement are the underwater weighing method and DEXA (dual energy x-ray  
absorptiometry).  
Tanitas BIA method uses equations derived from large, multi-ethnic population studies to predict body  
composition. Readings taken with Tanita Scale plus Body Fat Monitors correlate highly with both DEXA  
(Tanitas reference model) and Hydrodensitometry.

TAKING WEIGHT AND BODY FAT READINGS  
After programming your personal data you are ready to take a reading.  
Select Personal Key and Step On  
Using your toe, tap your preprogrammed Personal Key. (Release the key within 3 seconds or the  
display will show Err.) The unit will beep and the display will show the programmed data. The unit  
will beep again and the display will show 0.0. Now step onto the platform.

not step onto the measuring platform within about 60 seconds after 0.0appears, the power is shut-off  
automatically.  
Get Your Readings  
Your weight will be shown rst. Continue to stand erect on the platform. "54321" will appear on the  
display and disappear one by one. Your body fat percentage and Body Fat Range will appear on the  
display screen. The display will then ash your weight, body fat percentage, and DCI alternately ve times.  
Note: Even if you step off the platform after all the  
results are displayed, the alternating display of body  
weight, body fat percentage, and DCI will be repeated  
ve times. The unit will then shut down automatically.

Getting Accurate Readings  
To get the most accurate, absolute values, 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. Stand erect  
on the platform.  
Be sure that your heels are correctly aligned with the electrodes on the measuring platform. Dont  
worry if your feet appear too large for the unitaccurate readings can still be obtained if your toes  
overhang the platform.  
Heels centered  
on electrodes  
Toes may overhang  
measuring 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: An 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.  
UNDERSTANDING YOUR READINGS  
Healthy Range Indicator Bar (Standard Adults Only)  
Your Scale plus Body Fat Monitor automatically compares your body fat reading to the Healthy Body  
Fat Range chart.  
Note: If you select Athlete mode on the BF-556,  
the unit will not display the Healthy Range Indicator  
Bar. The Healthy Body Fat Ranges are based on  
Standard (sedentary to moderately active) Adults  
and therefore do not apply to athletic adults.  
Following your body fat percentage reading, four black squares will appear along the bottom of the  
display indentifying where you fall within the Body Fat Ranges for your age and gender, as well as  
telling you where in that range your percentage falls (i.e. low, middle or high end). For example, if you  
are a female, age 2039 and your reading is 22.5%, the squares will appear above the 0or Healthy  
Range area, and the square second from the left end (or middle) will appear highlighted. For more  
about the Healthy Range, see p.2.  
Note: Athletes may have a lower body fat range  
based on their particular sport or activity.

Daily Calorie Intake (DCI)  
Having pre-programmed your personal information, your Scale plus Body Fat Monitor can estimate how  
many calories you can consume within the next 24 hours to maintain your current weight and body fat  
percentage. Therefore, if you would like to lose weight, consume less calories than the amount shown.  
ADDITIONAL PROGRAMMING FEATURES  
Programming the Guest Mode  
The Guest mode allows you to use the unit without losing the information already assigned to a  
Personal Key.  
To program the Guest mode, use the G (Down) button to turn on the power. Then follow steps 3 through  
6 in Setting and Storing Data in Memory(p.6). The unit will beep twice and the display will show  
0.0. Step onto the platform. Next follow the directions for Get Your Readings(p.7).  
Note: If you step onto the platform before 0.0appears the display will show Errand you will not obtain a reading.  
Reprogramming a Personal Key  
From time to time, you may need to adjust the data stored in a Personal Key, for example, your age or  
height (or for the BF-556, to change between Athlete and Standard Adult Modes).  
To add a new user and erase the data of a previous user, or to change already stored data repeat Steps 1  
though 6 of Setting and Storing Data in Memory(p.6). The display will then ash all the new data to  
conrm programming and the unit will shut off automatically.  
Taking Weight Measurement Only  
Select Weight-Only Key  
Using your toe, tap the Weight-only key, 88888will appear. After 2 or 3 seconds, 0.0will appear in  
the display. When 0.0appears in the display, step onto the platform. The body weight value will  
appear. If you remain on the platform, the display will ash for about 30 seconds, and then the power  
will automatically turn off. If you step off the platform, the weight will continue to show for about 5  
seconds, then 0.0will appear and the unit will shut off automatically.  
REPLACING THE BATTERIES  
When the batteries run low, the Lomessage will appear on the display window. When this message  
appears, be sure to replace the batteries immediately, since weak batteries will affect the accuracy of your
