TBF-622 Body Fat Monitor/Scale
Useful Features of the TBF-622
The TBF-622 allows you to measure both weight and body fat percentage simultaneously
as easily and simply as stepping on a scale.
The TBF-622 can be set for an Adult or Athlete, Male or Female, increasing the accuracy
of the reading.
Personal data (Adult/Athlete, Male/Female and Height) are stored in the memory of
the unit.
Switching the Weight Mode
The TBF-622 can measure weight in three different modes: lb (pounds), kg (kilograms) or st-lb
(British stone-pounds). The default setting (the setting at which Tanita products are shipped) is
lb. If you would like to change that setting, or if at any point another setting has been
inadvertently entered, follow these steps:
Press and simultaneously. Release the buttons, the display will flash. Press to cycle
through each weight mode until just the mode that you require is displayed. Then press .
The display screen will flash to confirm your selection and store it in memory.
Note: If weight mode is set to pounds or stone-pounds, the height programming mode will be automatically set
to feet and inches. Similarly, if kilograms is selected, height will be automatically set to centimeters.
Automatic Shut-Down Function
The automatic shut-down function shuts off the power automatically in the following cases:
• If you interrupt the measurement process. The power will shut down automatically
within 10 to 20 seconds, depending upon the type of operation.
• If an extraordinary weight is applied to the platform.
• If you make a mistake during measurement or a key operation.
• After you have completed the measuring process.
Note: If the power shuts off unexpectedly, repeat the measuring process.
