Getting Accurate Readings; Automatic Shut-Down Function; Switching The Weight Mode - Tanita InnerScan BC-583 Mode D'emploi

Getting accurate readings

To ensure accuracy, 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. Be sure that your heels are correctly aligned with the electrodes on the measuring platform. Don't worry if your feet
appear too large for the unit -accurate readings can still be obtained if your toes overhang the platform.
It is best to take readings at the same time of day. Try 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.

Automatic shut-down function

The automatic shut-down function shuts off the power automatically in the following cases:
• If you interrupt the measurement process, the power will shut down automatically within 10 to 20 seconds, depending upon the
type of operation.
• If an overload is applied to the platform.
• During programming, if you do not touch any of the keys or buttons within 60 seconds.*
• After you have completed the measuring process.
*Note: If the power shuts off automatically, repeat the steps from "Setting and Storing Personal Data in Memory" (p.4).

Switching the weight mode

You can switch the unit indication by using the switch on the back of the scale as shown in the figure.
Note: If weight mode is set to pounds or stone-pounds, the height programming mode will be automatically set to feet and inches.
Similarly, if kilograms is selected, height will be automatically set to centimetres.
