Welcome to the Body Composition Scale
This product is designed to test body fat, hydration, and muscle mass. The
scale is to assist with keeping a close eye on the daily change of your body
fat, hydration, muscle mass, bone mass, BMI, metabolism, weight, and weight
tracking. The body composition scale also estimates basal metabolic rate
(BMR), which the scale displays as “Kcal”. The body composition scale also is
equipped with “Athlete Mode” for athletes whose body is built differently than
non-athletes. Please note that body fat percentages can vary throughout the
day and day by day. Do not compare your results with other methods. The key is
to use one method of calculating composition consistently and track those
results with the same device over time.
Carefully read the instructions before use.
Preparation Before Use
INSERT THE BATTERIES

or leak.

Problem Solving & Questions
-
If the scale does not turn on or no weight is displayed?
Check if the scale is powered up and started up. If not, please refer to the Section “Preparation Before Use”. -
Is the scale inaccurate or does the weight vary?
Place feet in the center of the platform and standstill. Allow the weight to lock in before looking down at the display. The flooring may be the reason for the fluctuation. Use the scale on the hardest floor available for accuracy. Do not move the scale unnecessarily. -
I have tried all corrective actions, but still can’t solve the problem…
Please contact the Taylor Customer Service Department at 1-866-843-3905 (from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, Mountain Standard Time, Monday through Friday) or by email at taylorusa@lifetimebrands.com. -
Why do I get a different body fat reading when I use a different brand of body fat scale?
Different body composition scales take estimations around different parts of the body and use different mathematic algorithms to estimate the percentage of body fat. The best advice is not to make comparisons from one device to another, but to use the same device each time to monitor any change.
