2. Segurtasun informazioa
Please read all safety instructions before using the Tanita BC-568 InBody Digital Scale.
- Individuals with Electronic Medical Implants: Do not use this scale if you have an electronic medical implant, such as a pacemaker. The Bioelectric Impedance Analysis (BIA) technology passes a low-level electrical signal through the body, which may interfere with the operation of such implants.
- Haurdun dauden emakumeak: Pregnant women should only use the weight function of this device. Other body composition functions are not intended for use during pregnancy.
- Lekua: Always place the scale on a hard, flat, and stable surface to ensure accurate readings. Avoid carpets or uneven flooring.
- Gainazal hezeak: Do not step on the scale with wet feet or when the scale surface is wet, as this may cause slipping.
- Garbiketa: Erabili biguna, damp cloth to clean the scale. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the unit in water.

3.2. Hasierako kokapena
For accurate measurements, place the scale on a hard, flat, and stable surface. Avoid placing it on carpets, rugs, or uneven flooring, as this can affect measurement accuracy.
3.3. User Data Registration
The scale can store data for multiple users. Refer to the on-screen prompts or the detailed manual for specific steps to register user profiles, including age, gender, and height. This information is crucial for accurate body composition analysis.
4. Funtzionamendu-argibideak
4.1. Neurketa bat egitea
- Ziurtatu balantza gainazal lau eta gogor baten gainean dagoela.
- Step onto the scale barefoot. Ensure your feet are properly aligned on the foot electrodes.
- Grasp the retractable hand-grip electrodes firmly with both hands. Ensure your palms are in full contact with the electrodes.
- Remain still until the measurement is complete and results are displayed on the dual LCD screen. The scale will automatically scroll through various body composition readings.
- Step off the scale once all measurements are displayed.

4.2. Neurketak ulertzea
The BC-568 provides the following measurements:
- Pisua: Your total body weight.
- Gorputzeko gantz ehunekotage: Gantzaren eta gorputzaren pisu osoaren arteko proportzioa.
- Muskulu-masa: Zure gorputzeko giharren pisu osoa.
- Physique Rating: An assessment of your body type based on body fat and muscle mass.
- Gorputzeko Uraren ehunekotage: The total amount of fluid in your body.
- Daily Caloric Intake (DCI): An estimate of the calories needed to maintain your current weight.
- Adin metabolikoa: Compares your basal metabolic rate to the average for your age group.
- Hezur-masa: The estimated weight of bone mineral in your body.
- Visceral Fat Rating: An assessment of the fat surrounding your internal organs.
- Segmental Readings: Individual measurements for body fat and muscle mass in each arm, leg, and the trunk.

4.3. Atleta Modua
The BC-568 includes an Athlete Mode for individuals who engage in intense physical activity. This mode adjusts the calculation algorithms to provide more accurate readings for athletes who typically have different body compositions than the general population. Consult the full manual for instructions on how to activate and use Athlete Mode.
4.4. Gonbidatu modua
Guest Mode allows individuals to take a measurement without storing their data in a user profile. This is useful for occasional users or when you do not wish to save the measurement data.
5. Mantentzea
