This image displays the Tanita 2001W-B Ultimate Body Fat Bathroom Scale. It is white with a central gray control panel featuring an LCD screen and two circular buttons (orange and blue). Four metallic electrodes are visible on the scale's surface, two rectangular at the front and two circular at the back, designed for body fat analysis.

Safety Information

• Do not use if you have a pacemaker or other internal medical device. The bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) feature sends a low-level electrical signal through the body, which may interfere with such devices.
• Do not use if you are pregnant. The BIA readings may not be accurate and the effects of the electrical current on a fetus are unknown.
• Always place the scale on a hard, flat, and stable surface. Using it on carpet or uneven flooring may result in inaccurate readings.
• Ensure your feet are clean and dry before stepping on the scale for body fat analysis.
• Do not use the scale in a slippery environment, such as a wet bathroom floor, to prevent falls.
• Keep the scale away from water and extreme temperatures.
• This scale is intended for household use only.

Operating Instructions

1. Weight Measurement Only

For a quick weight reading without body fat analysis:

1. Gently tap the scale with your foot to turn it on. The display will show '0.0'.
2. Step onto the scale with bare feet, standing still and centered.
3. Your weight will be displayed. The scale will automatically turn off after a few seconds.

2. Body Fat Analysis

To measure body fat percentage, you will need to input personal data. The scale features easy-to-program individual information buttons.

1. Gently tap the scale to turn it on.
2. Press the 'SET' button (orange button) to begin entering your personal data.
3. Use the arrow buttons (blue button) to adjust values for parameters such as height, age, and gender. Press 'SET' to confirm each entry and move to the next.
4. Once all data is entered, the display will show '0.0'.
5. Step onto the scale with bare feet, ensuring your feet are positioned on the metallic electrodes. Stand still and centered.
6. The scale will first display your weight, then your body fat percentage (displayed in 1-percent increments).
7. The scale will automatically turn off after a few seconds. Note that personal data must be re-entered for each body fat reading as this model does not store user profiles.

3. Adult and Child Mode

The Tanita 2001W-B includes distinct modes for adult and child measurements to ensure appropriate body fat analysis. The specific method for switching between these modes is typically integrated into the personal data setup process. During the initial setup or when re-entering your data for body fat analysis, you will be prompted to select either 'Adult' or 'Child' based on the user's age. Ensure the correct mode is selected for accurate readings.
