Fill-in for future reference DATE PURCHASED:. ___ _ SERIAL NUMBER: Staple your purchase receipt here. The Fat Loss Monitor is an excellent tool to quickly measure your body fat percentage and body mass index. Input your personal data, and the monitor displays your estimated value of body fat percentage using the Bioelectrical Impedance Method and indicates your body mass index in four ranges - low, normal, high and very high. Your HBF-306C comes with the following components: • Fat Loss Monitor • Instruction Manual • 2 "AAA" Batteries Read all the information in the instruction book before using the unit. .&.wARNING! This monitor cannot be used with a cardiac pacemaker or other implanted medical devices. The Fat Loss Monitor passes an extremely weak electrical current of 50kHz and less than 500pA through your body when taking a measurement to determine the amount of fat tissue. This weak current is not felt while using the monitor. Do not use, or allow others to use, this monitor if fitted with a cardiac pacemaker or other medical device . .&.wARNING! Pregnant women or those who may become pregnant should not use this device. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS Consumer Help Line 1-800-634-4350 3

Do not submerge the device or any of the components in water. 4

The Fat Loss Monitor displays the estimated value of body fat percentage by the Bioelectrical Impedance (BI) method and indicates the Body Mass Index (BMI) range with the BMI classification bar. Bioelectrical Impedance Method Muscles, blood vessels and bones have a high water content that conduct electricity easily. Body fat does not hold water, therefore it has low electrical conductivity. The Fat Loss Monitor sends an extremely low-level electrical current of 50 kHz and 500 J..LA through your body to determine the amount of fat tissue. This weak current is safe and not felt while operating the Fat Loss Monitor. Body Fat Percentage Body Weight L Body fat percentage refers to the amount of body fat mass as part of the total body weight. Estimated Body Fat Percentage Hydrodensitometry, or underwater weighing, has been an established method for accurate evaluation of body composition. Omron has used research information from several hundred people using the underwater method to develop the formula by which the Fat Loss Monitor works. The body fat mass and body fat percent is calculated by a formula that includes five factors: electric resistance, height, weight, age, and gender. Body Fat Ranges for Adults Gender Age Low Normal High Very High 20-39 < 21.0 21.0-32.9 33.0-38.9 ;::: 39.0 Female 40-59 < 23.0 23.0-33.9 34.0-39.9 ;::: 40.0 60-79 < 24.0 24.0-35.9 36.0-41.9 ;::: 42.0 20-39 < 8.0 8.0-19.9 20.0-24.9 ;::: 25.0 Male 40-59 < 11.0 11.0-21.9 22.0-27.9 ;::: 28.0 60-79 < 13.0 13.0-24.9 25.0-29.9 ;::: 30.0 *Based on gallagher eta/., American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Vol. 72, Sept. 2000 5

Body Mass Index (BMI) BMI is an internationally used index to show body composition by determining the balance between the height and the weight. Body Mass Index (BMI) Formula: US - Calculated using pounds and inches: (weight in pounds x 703) I height in inches I height in inches Metric- Calculated using kilograms and meters: weight in kilograms I height in meters I height in meters BMI BMI Less than 18.5 LOW 18.5 or more and less than 25 NORMAL 25 or more and less than 30 HIGH 30 or more VERY HIGH *Based on NIH/WHO guidelines for BMI NOTE: The body fat percentage measured by this unit may significantly differ from the actual body fat percentage in the following situations: • Children in growth stage • People who having swelling • Elderly people • Patients undergoing dialysis • People with a fever • Patients with osteoporosis who have very low bone density 6

Recommended Measurement Times Understanding the normal changes in your body fat percentage can help you maintain your fitness and health and/or help you reduce your body fat. Being aware of the times when the body fat percentages shift within your own daily schedule will assist you in obtaining an accurate trending of your body fat. It is recommended to use the Fat Loss Monitor in the same environment and daily circumstances for each measurement. (See chart) DO NOT take a measurement: Before lunch and about 2 hours or more after breakfast In the afternoon about 2 hours or more after lunch and before taking bath or dinner Before going to bed and about 2 hours or more after dinner Avoid taking a measurement immediately after these situations, as the measured body fat percentage may differ significantly from the actual one because the water content in the body is changing: o After drinking a large amount of water or after a meal (l to 2 hours) o After drinking alcohol · o Immediately after exercise o Immediately after a shower, bath or sauna 7

The Fat Loss Monitor can be set to either NORMAL or ATHLETE mode, based on your activity level. Normal Mode: • For people with lower activity, frequency, intensity and time • For people who are currently not exercising or active Athlete Mode: • For people with higher activity, frequency, intensity and time Calculate your FIT index with this formula: I FIT Index = (A) Frequency x (B) Intensity x (C) Time Set to NORMAL= FIT Index < 60 Set to ATHLETE = FIT Index 2: 60 (A) Frequency Number Frequency of Exercise 5 Daily or almost daily 4 3 to 4 times per week 3 1 to 2 times per week 2 A few times per month 1 Less than once per month (B) Intensity Intensity Conditioning Exercise Sports Cycling- > 12 mph pace Basketball - competitive Weightlifting - vigorous, powerlifting or bodybuilding Boxing Rowing - moderate to vigorous Football- competitive Rowing machines - moderate to vigorous effort Handball, racquetball, or squash Aerobic dancing - high impact Ice hockey Step aerobics Karate or kickboxing 5 Running -> 5.0 mph Rockclimbing Rope jumping Rugby Rollerblading (roller skating) Soccer - competitive Ski machine Tennis Stairstepping Swimming - competitive or lap Stationary cycling - moderate to vigorous effort Speed skating - competitive Skiing - cross-country Skiing - downhill racing 8
