Safety precautions
•
Persons with implanted medical equipment, such as a pacemaker, should not
use the TBF-604. This Body Fat Monitor/Scale passes a very safe, low electrical
signal through the body during measurement, which may interfere with the
operation of a pacemaker.
• The TANITA Body Fat Monitor/Scale TBF-604 is intended for home use only.
This unit is not intended for professional use in hospitals or other medical facilities.
It is not equipped with the quality standards required for professional use.
• Do not use this unit on slippery surfaces such as tile flooring or wet floors.
• Disabled people should be assisted by someone else, or use a handrail
when using the TBF-604.
NOTE: Measurements will vary with the amount of moisture in the body, and can be
affected by dehydration caused by such factors as alcohol consumption, menstruation, ill-
ness, strenuous exercise, etc.
Important notes for users
The TBF-604 is intended for use by male and female adults who are only moderately
active or sedentary.
The TBF-604 is not intended for use by persons involved in intense aerobic exercise of at
least 10 hours per week and who have a resting heart rate of less than 60 beats per minute.
It is also not intended for professional athletes or bodybuilders who may experience
physical changes due to dehydration.
Body fat percentage measurements may be slightly lower or higher for the following
categories of people:
• Adults seventy years old or older
• Pregnant women
• Persons undergoing dialysis
• Persons suffering from edema
Body fat percentage measurements for these persons should not be treated as absolute
values, but may be used as relative values for checking body fat percent variations over a
period of time.
Recommendations for exercise programs or diets based on measured data should be
determined by a doctor or licensed medical professional. Do not attempt to evaluate the
data by yourself.
Recorded data may be lost if the TBF-604 is used incorrectly or is exposed to electrical
power surges. TANITA takes no responsibility for any kind of loss caused by the loss of
recorded data.
TANITA takes no responsibility for any kind of damage or loss caused by these units, or
