Setting and Storing Data in Memory
The TBF-622 can be operated only if data has been preprogrammed into one of the two
Personal keys. Once programmed, tapping a Personal key turns the monitor on. The unit has
an automatic shut-down function. If you do not step on the platform after pressing a
Personal key, the unit will automatically shut off in about 30 seconds.
The TBF-622 is a personal model for adults with moderately active to inactive lifestyles and
for adults with athletic body types. (See p.1.)

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.
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.
It is best to take readings at the same time each day, preferably in the evening. If doing so is
not convenient, remember 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.
