Tanita BF-572 - Manual (Page 11)

Troubleshooting
If the following problems occur... then...
"st-lb" or "kg" appears while taking a weight measurement.
The unit’s “Weight Mode” has been set to measure your weight in
units of stone pounds or kilograms. Refer to Selecting the Weight
Mode (lb, kg or st-lb)
on p.4 if you would like to change the setting
back to pounds (lb).
Nothing appears on the display screen after initial display of
preset data.
Check foot alignment. Make sure you wait for “0.0” to appear
before stepping on the platform. Check to see that the batteries are
fresh and are in the correct positions.
“Lo” appears on the display, or all display data appears and
immediately disappears.
Batteries are low. Replace batteries immediately.
The display shows “- - - - -” and goes off when a Personal Key
is pressed.
No data (Adult/Athlete/Child, Female/Male and Height) has been
stored in the memory of the Personal Key. Preprogram with
personal data.
“Error” or “- - - - -” appears, or the power shuts off
while measuring.
Be sure that you have selected the correct user mode (Adult/Athlete/
Child, Female/Male and Height), that socks or stockings have been
removed, and that the soles of your feet are clean and properly
aligned with the guides on the measuring platform. Consider
whether or not you have selected the correct Personal Key and make
sure that you waited for “0.0” to appear before stepping on the
platform. Step off and repeat steps on p.6 (Taking Weight & Body
Fat Readings
).
“OL” appears while measuring.
Reading can not be obtained if the weight capacity (300 lb/136 kg/
21 st-6 lb) is exceeded.
Note: If body fat percentage is more than 75%, readings can not be
obtained from the unit.
The display flashes “--no--” and a Personal Key number alter-
nately, and “X” flashes in the Graph area.
This message is part of the BF-572’s built-in memory protection
feature, which prevents individuals from taking readings using an
incorrect Personal Key and adding skewed data to the Graph.
The unit compares the current weight reading to the last result,
and if there is a significant difference, it will display this message.
When you see this message, make sure that you have selected the
correct Personal Key.
If the Personal Key number is wrong, do not press any of the keys
or buttons. Step off the platform and the alternating message will
disappear. Then the unit will shut off automatically and current
result will not be stored.
If the Personal Key is correct and you would like the new reading
to be stored, press
while the display is still flashing. As usual,
your current result will appear on the display, and the graph will
store your result.
The body fat percentage reading does not appear after the
weight is measured.
Vibration will interfere with the fat percentage reading. Be sure to
stand erect and still on the measuring platform. Do not bend your
knees. Be sure that shoes and socks are removed and check foot
alignment. Step off and repeat steps on p.6.
