The body fat function of the BF-572 can be operated only if personal
data (Adult/Athlete/Child, Female/Male and Height) has been
preprogrammed into at least one of the four Personal Keys.
1. Turn on the Power
When programming data, press to turn the unit on (once pro-
grammed, tapping a Personal Key turns the unit on). The unit will
beep to confirm activation, the Personal Key numbers (“12 34”) will
be displayed, an arrow icon will appear in the lower right corner,
and the display will flash.
2. Select a Personal Key
Press to select a Personal Key (pressing once will activate
Personal Key number 1, pressing twice will activate Key
number 2, etc.). Once you reach the Personal Key number that you
wish to use, press . (During programming, the unit will beep
once each time you press .)
3. Select Adult, Athlete or Child Mode.
Use to specify Adult, Athlete or Child, then press .
Adult = age 18 or older, who has moderately active to
inactive lifestyle.
Child = up to the age of 18, over 3' 4" (102 cm), who has
moderately active to inactive lifestyle.
Athlete = adult involved in intense physical activity. (See p.1 for
Tanita’s definition of “athlete.”)
4. Select Female or Male
Use to select Female or Male, then press .
5. Specify the Height
Use to specify height (in feet and inches if weight mode is set
to lbs or st-lb, or in centimeters if weight mode is set to kg).
Then press .
The unit will beep twice and the display will flash all data (Adult/
Athlete/Child, Female/Male and Height) for three seconds to confirm
the programming. The power will then automatically shut off.
Note: As you enter data, or while the display flashes the personal settings,
we recommend that you check for any mistakes, such as an incorrect
height setting. If you find that you have made a mistake, tap the Weight-Only
Key while the display is flashing. The unit will automatically shut off and
will cancel any data that you entered at that time.
Reprogramming a Personal Key
From time to time, you may need to adjust the data stored in a
Personal Key.
• The most common need for this would be to allow a new user or a
guest to obtain readings, even though all four Personal Keys
already contain data.
– To add a new or guest user and erase the data of a previous user,
repeat the Steps 1 through 5 of Setting and Storing Personal
Data in Memory. After you have entered the new data, “Clear”
will appear and flash on the display (the unit is asking if it is
OK to delete the previous user’s data). Press once more.
“Clear” will be displayed for three seconds. The display will
then flash all the new data to confirm programming, and the
power will shut off automatically.
Warning: All previous data and readings for the previous user of the
selected Personal Key will be erased, including Graph data.
• You may also need to change your personal data if your height has
changed, or if you need to change the user mode for your readings
(from Adult to Athlete or vice versa, or when a teenager needs to
start using the Adult mode). In these cases you can reprogram a
Personal Key without erasing the data stored in the Graph.
– To make any of the above changes, repeat Steps 1 through 5, of
Setting and Storing Personal Data in Memory. The unit will
beep, the display will flash the new data, and the unit will shut
off automatically. The previously stored Graph results for the
Personal Key will still be stored.
Note: Graph readings will not remain stored if you reprogram a Personal
Key from Adult to Child, or try to change the gender. The previous readings
(for that reprogrammed Personal Key) stored in the Graph will be erased.
