/K Maintenance
In order to insure optimum performance of this Bait' Composition Scale, please observe the following instructions:
• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet when it will not be in me tor long periods of time
• Always turn the equipment off before unplugging from a wall outlet
• Never disassemble the equipment Always can the nearest Tarn la dealer or branch office for instruction.
• In order to reduce the mi of j short circuit please keep any liquid or metal objects (paper dips, etc.) away from
the pnnter.
• Do not drop the unit, and avoid locations with constant vibration.
• Avoid placing the weighing platform or display :n direct sunlight, or too dose to a heating uiui
• Avoid rapid temprature fluctuations
• Excessive humidity may damage the equipment
• When transferred to any location where there is a difference of more than 20'C (40'H. wait 2 hours before using.

A General Instructions for Accurate Measurement
The body composition analyzer is designed for standard and athletic individual* However, certain individuals may
not receive accurate results, as they fall outside the population for which Tamta equations werr developed
• Because this body composition analyzer uses a minor ciretnc current to measure impedance (electrical resistance),
best results »ill be observed when measurement is taken in bare fees
• Poor contact between the leet and electrodes may produce an error m ran ge Heels should be placed directly on
top of the posterior electrodes, while the Irani part «| the tom needs to he in con lad with the anterior electrodes.
Also, make sure the soles of the feet are free of rsces* dirt as this may ad as a barrier to the mild current.
• 11111.1 ,ic «•. .illuses on the soles of the feet oe an individual la wearing thin nylons, accurate mea sur eme n t may still
be possible. Place 05cc of saline or water In the center of each electrode This will ad as a conductive material, ami
