Overview of measuring
To get the most accurate absolute values, measurements should be taken while wearing no clothing, preferably in the evening, and after
urinating. 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. If measurements are to be taken after bathing, the body must be completely dry.
NOTE: Accurate measurement will not be possible if the soles of your feet are not clean, if your knees are bent or you are in a sitting position.
It is best to take measurements 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 doing 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 measurements taken under the same conditions
over a period of time.
Setting and storing personal data in memory (Initial setup only)
To take full advantage of the features and benefits of the TBF-560, your personal data must be programmed into one of the five person-
al keys. The unit has an automatic shut-down function. If you do not step on the platform after selecting a PERSONAL key, the unit
will automatically shut off in about 30 seconds.
Note: In order to use a PERSONAL key that was previously programmed for another person, see the section on Preprogramming a PERSONAL
key for a new user
on page 16.
