INTRODUCTION  
Thank you for selecting a Tanita Body Fat Monitor/Scale. This model uses  
the BIA (Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis) technique, a state-of-the-art  
technology for body fat assessment.  
Note: Read this Instruction Manual carefully and  
keep it handy for future reference.  
Safety Precautions  
Persons with implanted electronic medical equipment, such  
as a pacemaker, should not use the Body Fat Monitor feature  
on this Tanita Body Fat Monitor/Scale. This Body Fat  
Monitor/Scale passes a low-level electrical signal through  
the body, which may interfere with the operation of a  
pacemaker.  
The Tanita Body Fat Monitor/Scales are intended for home use only.  
This unit is not intended for professional use in hospitals or other  
medical facilities; it is not equipped with the quality standards required  
for heavy usage experienced under professional conditions.  
Do not use this unit on slippery surfaces such as wet floors.  
Important Notes for Users  
BF-662 is intended for adults and children (ages 7-17) with inactive to moderately  
active lifestyles and adults with athletic body types.  
Tanita defines “athlete” as a person involved in intense physical activity  
of approximately 10 hours per week and who has a resting heart rate of  
approximately 60 beats per minute or less. Tanita’s athlete definition  
includes “lifetime of fitness” individuals who have been fit for years but  
currently exercise less than 10 hours per week.  
The body fat monitor function is not intended for pregnant women,  
professional athletes or bodybuilders.  
Recorded data may be lost if the unit is used incorrectly or is exposed to  
electrical power surges. Tanita takes no responsibility for any kind of loss  
caused by the loss of recorded data.  
Note: Body fat percentage estimates will vary  
with the amount of water in the body, and can be  
affected by dehydration or overhydration due to  
such factors as alcohol consumption,  
Tanita takes no responsibility for any kind of damage or loss caused by these  
units, or any kind of claim made by a third person.

USEFUL FEATURES  
Tanita Body Fat Monitor/Scales allow you to measure both weight and  
body fat percentage simultaneously and easily, simply by stepping on a  
scale.  
Your Body Fat Monitor/Scale can be set for Male or Female, Standard or  
Athlete Adult, or Children (ages 7-17).  
Personal data (Female/Male, Age, Height, etc.) can be pre-set and  
stored in memory for up to 4 people.  
Unique Healthy Range Indicator automatically displays where your body  
fat percentage falls within the Body Fat Ranges chart (p.2).  
The unit emits a helpful “beep” when activated, and also at various  
stages in the programming and measuring process. Listen for these  
sounds which will prompt you to step on the unit, look at your readings,  
or confirm a setting.  
SWITCHING THE WEIGHT MODE  
Your Body Fat Monitor/Scale can measure weight in three different modes:  
st-lb (British stone-pounds), kg (kilograms), or lb (pounds). The default  
setting (the setting at which Tanita products are shipped) is lb (USA only)  
or st-lb (UK only). If you would like to change that setting, or if at any point  
another setting has been inadvertently entered, follow these steps:  
Press the Set and Up buttons simultaneously. Release the buttons, the  
display will flash. Press the Up button to cycle through each weight mode  
until the mode that you require is displayed. Then press the Set button.  
The unit will beep twice in short succession, and the display screen will  
flash to confirm your selection and store it in memory.  
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.  
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 or button operation.  
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 Data  
in Memory” (p.5).

HOW TO MEASURE BODY FAT PERCENTAGE  
Setting and Storing Data in Memory  
The unit can be operated only if data has been programmed into one of the two Personal Keys or the Guest mode.  
1. Turn on the Power  
Press the Set button to turn on the unit (once programmed, tapping a  
Personal Key turns on the unit.) The unit will beep to confirm activation, the  
Personal Key numbers (1,2,3,4) will be displayed, and the display will flash.  
Note: If you don’t operate the unit for sixty seconds after the unit has been turned on, the  
unit will turn off automatically.  
2. Select a Personal Key Number  
Press the Up/Down buttons to select a Personal Key. Once you reach the  
Personal Key number you wish to use, press the Set button. The unit will  
beep once to confirm.  
3. Set Age  
The display defaults to Age 30 (range of user age is between 7-99). An  
arrow icon appears on the lower left side to indicate Age setting. Use the  
Up/Down buttons to scroll through numbers. When you reach your age,  
press the Set button. The unit will beep once to confirm.  
4. Select Female or Male  
Use the Up/Down buttons to scroll through Female ( ) or Male ( ),  
Female/Athlete and Male/Athlete settings, then press the Set button. The  
unit will beep once to confirm.  
5. Specify the Height  
The display defaults to 5’ 7.0” (170cm) (range of user is from 3’ 4.0” – 7’  
3.0” or 100cm – 220cm). Use the Up/Down buttons to specify Height and  
then press the Set button. The unit will beep once to confirm.  
The unit will beep twice and the display will flash all data (Male/Female,  
Age, Height, etc.) three times to confirm the programming. The power will  
then shut down automatically.  
Note: If you make a mistake or want to turn the unit off before you have finished  
programming it, press the Weight-Only Key to force quit.  
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.  
Heels centered on  
electrodes  
Toes may overhang  
measuring platform  
Note: An accurate reading will not be possible if  
the soles of your feet are not clean, or if your  
knees are bent or you are in a sitting position.

GB  
TAKING WEIGHT AND BODY FAT READINGS  
After programming your personal data you are ready to take a reading.  
Select Personal Key  
Using your toe, tap your pre-programmed Personal key. (Release the key  
within 3 seconds or the display will show “Error”.) The unit will beep and  
the display will show the programmed data. The unit will beep again and  
the display will show “0.0”. Now step onto the platform.  
Note: If you step onto the platform before “0.0” appears the display will show “Error” and you  
will not obtain a reading. Furthermore, if you do not step onto the measuring platform  
within about 60 seconds after “0.0” appears, the power is shut-off automatically.  
Get Your Readings  
Your weight will be shown first. Continue to stand on the platform.  
“00000” will appear on the display and disappear one by one from left to  
right. Your body fat percentage and Body Fat Range will appear on the  
display screen. The display will then flash your weight and body fat  
percentage alternately three times.  
Note: Even if you step off the platform after all  
the results are displayed, the alternating display of  
body weight and body fat percentage will be  
repeated three times. The unit will then shut  
down automatically.  
UNDERSTANDING YOUR READING  
Healthy Range Indicator (Standard Adults only*)  
Your body fat monitor/scale automatically compares your body fat reading  
to the Healthy Body Fat Range chart.  
Following your body fat percentage reading, four black squares 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 squares appear  
above the Green (0) area your range is within the Healthy Range – if they  
appear over the Yellow (-) area, your reading is below the Healthy Range.  
For more about the Healthy Range, see page 2.  
Under  
Healthy  
Over  
Obese  
Yellow(-) : Underfat; below the healthy body fat range. Increased risk  
for health problems.  
Green(0) : Healthy; within the healthy body fat percentage range for your  
age/gender.  
Orange(+) : Overfat; above the healthy range. Increased risk for health  
problems.  
Red(++) : Obese; high above the healthy body fat range. Greatly  
increased risk of obesity-related health problems.  
Note: If you select Athlete mode on the BF-662,  
the unit will not display the Healthy Range  
Indicator. *Athletes may have a lower body fat  
range based on their particular sport or activity.  
(range of user age is between 20-79)  
PROGRAMMING THE GUEST MODE  
The Guest mode allows you to use the monitor without losing the  
information already assigned to a Personal Key.  
To programme the Guest mode, use the Down button marked with a “G” to  
turn on the power. Then follow steps 3 through 5 in “Setting and Storing  
Data” (p.5.) The unit will beep twice and the display will show “0.0”. Step  
onto the platform. Next follow the directions for “Get Your Reading” (p.6).  
Note: If you step onto the platform before “0.0” appears the display will show “Error” and  
you will not obtain a reading.

GB  
TAKING WEIGHT MEASUREMENT ONLY  
Select Weight-Only Key  
Using your toe, tap the Weight-only key. After 2 or 3 seconds, “0.0” will  
appear in the display and the unit will beep. When “0.0” appears in the  
display, step onto the platform. The body weight value will appear. If you  
remain on the platform, the display will flash for about 30 seconds, and then the power  
will automatically turn off. If you step off the platform, the weight will continue to show for  
about 5 seconds, then “0.0” will appear and the unit will shut off automatically.  
REPLACING THE BATTERIES  
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.  
Note: Your settings will not be erased from the memory when you remove the batteries.  
TROUBLESHOOTING  
If the following problems occur… then…  
A wrong weight reading appears on the display.  
Refer to “Switching the Weight Mode” on p.4.  
“Lo” appears on the display, or all the 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 (Male/Female, Age, Height, Athlete/Standard Adult) has been stored in the memory for that key. Pre-programme  
with personal data (p.5).  
The display reads “Error” or “- - - - -” appears or the power shuts off while  
measuring.  
Be sure that you have selected the correct user mode (Male/Female, Age, Height, Athlete/Standard Adult). Make sure  
socks or stockings are removed, and 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 wait for  
“0.0” to appear before stepping on the platform. Step off and repeat steps on p.6.  
“OL” appears while measuring.  
Reading cannot be obtained if the weight capacity (21st 6lb/136kg/300lb) is exceeded.  
Note: If body fat percentage is more than 75%, readings cannot be obtained from the unit.  
The body fat percentage measurement does not appear after the weight is  
measured.  
Vibration will interfere with measurement of the fat percentage. Be sure to stand 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.
