Notes on Safety  
Never start weight reduction or exercise therapy without  
the instructions of a physician or a specialist.  
Self-diagnosis may damage your health condition.  
Consult with your physcian before using when pregnant.  
Do not disassemble this unit. You may be injured or damage the unit.  
General Advice  
Do not use this unit when your body and/or fingers are wet,  
such as after taking a bath.

Features of the Product  
Easy-to-Understand Display  
The unit displays the measured value of body fat percentage by the BI  
method and indicates the body mass in four ranges of LOW, NORMAL,  
HIGH, and VERY HIGH according to the BMI value.  
BI method: Bioelectrical Impedance method (see page 5)  
BMI: Body Mass Index = (weight (lbs) x703) / height (in) / height (in)  
BMI: Body Mass Index in metric = weight (kg) / height (m) / height (m)  
NORMAL or ATHLETE mode can be selected  
for a more accurate measurement.  
Measurement is fast and simple.  
After inputting the data, a measurement can be started by simply holding  
the grip electrodes and pressing the Start button. The measured results are  
displayed approximately 7 seconds after the START symbol is displayed.  
The measured results are shown in an easy-to-see display.  
Body fat percentage and body mass index are shown simultaneously  
in an easy-to-see large digital display and a bar display that  
can be read at a glance.  
The memory function stores up to 9 personal profiles  
The memory function can store up to 9 people's information  
(height, weight, age, and gender).

How to Insert the Batteries  
1. While pressing the  
mark on the battery  
cover on the back of the unit with your finger,  
slide off the cover in the direction of the arrow.

Battery life  
Two AAA batteries will last approximately 1 year  
(when measurements are made twice a day).  
Because the supplied batteries are for monitor  
use only, they may have a shorter life.  
As the batteries may leak and damage the main unit, please note the following points:  
Remove the batteries from this unit when you are not going to use it for a long period  
of time (approximately three months or more).  
Replace the worn batteries with new ones immediately.  
Do not use manganese and alkaline batteries together.  
Do not use new and worn batteries together.

What is body fat percentage?  
Body fat percentage refers to the amount  
of body fat mass in regards to the total  
body weight described in a percentage.

your specific body fat percentage and body mass.  
It is also an excellent tool to measure your body fat  
percentage and body mass on a continuous schedule.

WhatYou Should Know When Using This Unit  
Principles of body fat percentage measurement  
The OMRON Body Fat Analyzer estimates the body fat percentage  
by the Bioelectrical Impedance (BI) method.  
What is the Bioelectrical Impedance Method?  
Muscles, blood vessels and bones are body tissues having a high water  
content that conduct electricity easily. Body fat is tissue that has little electric  
conductivity. The Body Fat Analyzer sends an extremely weak electrical current  
of 50 kHz and 500 µA through your body to determine the amount of fat tissue.  
This weak electrical current is not felt while operating the Body Fat Analyzer.  
The Bioelectrical Impedance Method safely combines the electric resistance  
with the distance of the electricity conducted. Correct posture and consistent  
measuring conditions need to be maintained for the best results.  
How to estimate the body fat percentage.  
Hydrodensitometry, or underwater weighing, has been the established  
method for accurate evaluation of body composition. Omron has used  
research information from several hundred people using the underwater  
weighing method to develop the formula by which the Body Fat Analyzer  
works. The body fat mass and body fat percentage is calculated  
by a formula that includes five factors: electric resistance, height,  
weight, age and gender.  
What is the submerged body weight weighing method?  
The underwater weighing method submerges a person in a pool from head  
to toe to be weighed. Omron has collected information on people from  
10 to 80 years of age using this method.  
(There are certain conditions, such as with dialysis patients, when significant  
differences may occur between the estimated and actual body fat values.  
These differences may be related to consistently changing ratios of body  
fluid and/or bone density.)

WhatYou Should Know When Using This Unit  
For the following cases, the body fat percentage  
measured by this unit may significantly differ  
from the actual body fat percentage.  
Measurements in the following groups of people may vary due to consistently  
changing amounts of water and tissue density within their bodies:  
Children in a growth stage  
Elderly people and  
post-menopausal women  
People with a fever  
Patients with osteoporosis  
People who have swelling  
who have very  
low bone density  
Bodybuilders or professional atheltes  
Patients undergoing dialysis

For a Correct Measurement  
Body fat is affected by the change of water  
content in the body.  
A persons hydration level and blood circulation may have an effect  
on their body fat reading. In the table below are some situations  
which could affect the reading.  
Cause of Fluctuations  
Examples of Fluctuation Periods  
1 to 2 hours after breakfast, lunch,  
or dinner  
Water and food intake  
After taking a bath or shower,  
immediately after exercising, in extreme  
environments (warm or cold), during  
illness or extreme fatigue  
Changes in blood circulation  
Change in posture (during  
measurement)  
Moving from an up-right standing  
position to lying down or prone position  
The diagram below shows an example of the changes in body fat throughout  
the day caused by a change of water content in the body. The changing pattern  
of body fat percentage varies for each person. In order to obtain highly reliable  
readings, please note the following pages.

For a Correct Measurement  
Please avoid measurement under the following  
conditions.  
If a measurement is made under the following physical conditions,  
the measured body fat percentage may differ significantly from  
the actual one because the water content in the body is changing.  
Immediately after  
vigorous exercise  
Immediately after  
a bath or sauna  
After drinking alcohol  
After drinking a large amount  
of water or after a meal  
(1 to 2 hours)  
Advice for measurement  
If the palms of your hands are dry or the temperature of your palms or the  
grip of the electrodes are extremely cool, stable measurement is impossible,  
which may lead to display error indication or inaccurate results.  
Please pay special attention in winter because the air is dry and/or the temperature is low.  
Conditions  
Actions  
Slightly moisten hands with a wet  
towel, then measure.  
Hands are dry.  
Warm the grip electrodes by leaving  
the unit in a warm room for  
approximately ten minutes.  
When you hold the grip electrodes,  
they feel cold.  
Warm your hands by immersing in hot  
water or staying in a warm room. Start  
the measurement again.  
Your body and hands are cold  
due to the blood not circulating well.

Recommended times for measurement  
Understanding the normal changes in your body fat percentage can help you  
in preventing or reducing obesity. Being aware of the times when the body fat  
percentages shift within your own daily schedule will assist you in obtaining an  
accurate trending of your body fat. It is recommended to use this unit in the  
same environment and daily circumstances. (See chart)

interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined  
by turning the product on and off, the user is encouraged to try to correct  
the interference by one or more of the following measures:  
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.  
Increase the separation between the product and receiver.  
Connect the product into an outlet on a circuit different from  
that to which the receiver is connected.  
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
