How to Program the Tanita Ultimate Scale

The Tanita UltimateScale is a personal weight and body fat analysis device for home use. As with standard bathroom scales, the Tanita UltimateScale measures body weight, but it also measures your percentage of body fat, which can be an important factor in your overall health. The Tanita UltimateScale also can be programmed with information about more than one user.

Instructions

• 1

  Press the "Set" button to turn the scale on. The "Set" button is the orange button under the LCD screen.

• 2

  Use the arrow button to choose "Adult" or "Child," then press the "Set" button. The arrow button is green and is located to the right of the "Set" button. The "Adult" setting should be chosen for users age 18 or older.

• 3

  Select "Male" or "Female" with the arrow button according to the user and press the "Set" button.

• 4

  Use the arrow button to enter the height of the user in feet and inches, then save the setting by pressing the "Set" button. The scale is now programmed for the user and will read the user's weight and provide a body fat percentage.

• 5

  Stand on the scale when it reads "0.0" to obtain your weight and body fat percentage. Ensure that your heels are on the back electrodes and the balls of your feet are on the front electrodes. Your weight will appear first, and after approximately five seconds your body fat percentage will appear. Both readings will switch back and forth as long as you stand on the scale.
