Tanita BF-625 - Manual (Page 10)

Healthy Range Indicator Bar (Standard Adults Only)
Your Scale plus Body Fat Monitor automatically compares your body fat reading to the Healthy Body Fat
Range chart.
Following your body fat percentage reading, a black bar will flash along the bottom of the display,
identifying where you fall within the Body Fat Ranges for your age and gender. For example, if the bar
appears above the “0” area, your reading is within the Healthy Range—if it appears over the “
– ” area,
your reading is below the Healthy Range. For more about the Healthy Range, see p.2.
– Underfat; below the healthy body fat range. Increased risk for health problems.
0 Healthy; within the healthy body fat percentage range for your age/gender.
+
Overfat; above the healthy range. Increased risk for obesity-related health problems.
++
Obese; high above the healthy body fat range. Greatly increased risk of obesity-related
health problems.
BF-625: Only Adults 18 and over will receive a Healthy Range Indication. Because of the dynamic
physiological changes occurring throughout childhood, a Healthy Range for children has
not been established. Please consult your pediatrician for health advice regarding your child.
Programming the Guest Mode
The Guest mode allows you to use the unit without losing the information already assigned to a
Personal Key.
To program the Guest mode, use the G (Down) button to turn on the power. Then follow steps 3 through
5 in “Setting and Storing Data in Memory” (p.6). The unit will beep twice and the display will show
“0.0”. Step onto the platform. Next follow the directions for “Get Your Readings” (p.7).
Note: If you step onto the platform before “0.0” appears the display will show “Error” and you will not obtain
a reading.
Reprogramming a Personal Key
From time to time, you may need to adjust the data stored in a Personal Key, for example, your age or
height (or for the BF-626, to change between Athlete and Standard Adult Modes).
To add a new user and erase the data of a previous user, or to change already stored data repeat Steps
1 though 5 of “Setting and Storing Data in Memory” (p.6). The display will then flash all the new data
to confirm programming and the unit will shut-off automatically.
When the batteries run low, the “Lo” message will appear on the display window. When this message
appears, be sure to replace the batteries immediately, since weak batteries will affect the accuracy of your
measurements. Change all the batteries at the same time with new AA-size batteries. The unit comes
with trial batteries—their service life may be short.
Note: Your settings will not be erased from the memory when you remove the batteries.

Note: If you select Athlete mode on the BF-626, the
unit will not display the Healthy Range Indicator Bar.
The Healthy Body Fat Ranges are based on Standard
(sedentary to moderately active) Adults and
therefore do not apply to athletic adults.
Note: Athletes may have a lower body fat range
based on their particular sport or activity.
