INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing the OMRON® HBF-510 Full Body Sensor Body Composition Monitor and Scale. Fill in for future reference. DATE PURCHASED: SERIAL NUMBER: Staple your purchase receipt here The Full Body Sensor Body Composition Monitor and Scale is easy to use. The monitor calculates the estimated values for body fat percentage, skeletal muscle percentage and visceral fat level using the BI (Bioelectrical Impedance) Method.
SAFETY INFORMATION To assure the correct use of the product, basic safety measures should always be followed including the warnings and cautions listed in this instruction manual. SAFETY SYMBOLS USED IN THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL Warning Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
SAFETY INFORMATION OPERATING THE DEVICE (continued) Do not use new and worn batteries together. Do not use batteries of a different kind together. Replace old batteries with new ones immediately. Replace all four batteries at the same time. Remove the batteries if the unit will not be used for three months or more. Do not expose the batteries to flames or fire. Should battery fluid leak and contact your eyes, skin or clothing immediately rinse with plenty of clean water.
INFORMATION ON BODY COMPOSITION PRINCIPLES OF FULL BODY SENSING CALCULATIONS What is Full Body Sensing? Full Body Sensing provides a comprehensive understanding of your body composition to help you reach and/or maintain your fitness goals. Unlike other body composition monitors that rely on foot-to-foot measurements, Omron’s monitor measures the whole body (arm to foot) which provides a clinically-proven accurate profile.
INFORMATION ON BODY COMPOSITION BODY MASS INDEX Body Mass Index (BMI) is a number calculated from a person’s weight and height. BMI is a reliable indicator of body fatness for people. BMI does not measure body fat directly, but research has shown that BMI correlates to direct measures of body fat. BMI is used as a screening tool to identify possible weight problems for adults.
INFORMATION ON BODY COMPOSITION VISCERAL FAT Visceral fat is found in the abdomen and surrounding vital organs. It is different from fat found directly underneath the skin, which is referred to as subcutaneous fat. Visceral fat can go largely unnoticed because it’s not visible to the naked eye. One way visceral fat can be seen is through Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).
INFORMATION ON BODY COMPOSITION SKELETAL MUSCLE Skeletal muscle is the type of muscle that we can see and feel. When you work out to increase muscle mass, skeletal muscle is being exercised. Skeletal muscles attach to the skeleton and come in pairs -- one muscle to move the bone in one direction and another to move it back the other way. Increasing skeletal muscle will increase your body’s energy requirements. The more muscle you have, the more calories your body will burn.
INFORMATION ON BODY COMPOSITION WARNING Contact your physician or healthcare provider before beginning a weight reduction or exercise program. LONG-TERM PLANNING FOR SUCCESSFUL WEIGHT LOSS There are lots of reasons for people to lose weight. To be healthier. To look better. To feel better. To have more energy. No matter what the reason, successful weight loss and healthy weight management depend on sensible goals and expectations.
INFORMATION ON BODY COMPOSITION RECOMMENDED MEASUREMENT TIMES Being aware of the times when the body fat percentages shift within your daily schedule will assist you in obtaining an accurate trending of your body composition. It is recommended to use this unit in the same environment and daily circumstances.
INFORMATION ON BODY COMPOSITION Results may differ from actual body fat percentage There are certain conditions when significant differences may occur between the estimated and the actual body fat values. These differences may be related to changing ratios of body fluid and/or body composition.
