Useful features of the TBF-531

The TBF-531 allows you to measure both weight and body fat percentage simultaneously
as easily and simply as stepping on a scale.

The TBF-531 can be set for Adult/Child, gender and height, increasing the accuracy of
the measurements.

Personal data (Adult/Child, gender, height) can be pre-set in memory for up to four
persons.

The unit also features a weight only mode.

Switching the weight mode

The TBF-531 can record measurements in lb (pounds), kg (kilograms), or st-lb (British
stone pounds). Select the preferred weight mode by using the switch on the back of
the measuring platform (see illustration at left).

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 extraordinary weight is applied to the platform.

• If you make a mistake during measurement or a key operation.

• After you have completed the measurement process.

NOTE: If the power shuts off automatically due to a problem, repeat the steps from the
beginning (see pp. 7-8 for steps).
