Taylor body fat analyzer and scale

I bought the Model 5553 a couple of months ago. Today I needed to find the manual, so I went to the net to search for it, but searching under the product name was useless. So I looked for the company name, "Taylor Precision Products".

That brought me to taylorusa. They make scales and thermometers. Their scales come in Basic, Upscale, and Precision Tech. The model 553 is a Precision Tech scale. Unfortunately they did not have this model listed anymore on their site, so I could not find literature there for it.

I tried to fill in their online request for literature, but the form had radio buttons for "have someone from taylor contact me" and it allowed me to check off both the yes and the no buttons at the same time! There was was no way to uncheck the yes. Then when I was trying to get out of that, it took me forward to page that said I had not finished filling everything else. Hitting back, (there was no link to take me back), erased all the fields on the form, forcing me to fill out everything again.

Those participating in weight loss or fitness programs are sure to see some major changes to their bodies. But how to make sense of what is really going on in there? Taylor.s combination scale/body fat analyzer measures both weight and body fat percentage so you can make sure both are at healthy levels. A certain amount of fat in the diet is helpful in warding off major health problems and this monitor lets you know if you are within the healthy range, or over the appropriate level for your height, age, and weight. Likewise, this scale can show dieters if their slow rate of weight loss is due to a build-up of muscle from their fitness programs rather than eating the wrong foods.

To assess your weight, simply step on the scale and the LCD will display an accurate reading for up to 300 pounds of weight in just seconds. To calculate body fat, turn the power button on and follow the scale.s prompts to enter in your height, age, and gender. Next, simply step on the ridged platform and using BIA (bioelectrical impedance analysis) technology, the scale sends a harmless electric current through your body to report your body fat and weight readings together in about 10 seconds. A display graph shows where your body fat percentage ranks on the charts according to national health experts. The scale saves personal data for up to four family members so there is no need to re-program information at every use. Because of the mild electrical current involved in taking body fat measurements, Taylor cautions adults with pacemakers and internal medical devices, pregnant women, professional athletes, and children under the age of 18 not to use the product. Taylor covers this scale/body fat analyzer under a lifetime warranty.

The advantage of measuring your body fat

Medical research indicates that healthy levels of body fat can reduce your risk of developing serious conditions, including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. In addition, measuring body fat supports healthy weight loss, differentiating between fat and muscle reduction... an important factor that cannot be determined by monitoring total body weight.

Fast & Accurate

BIA (Bioelectrical Impedane Analysis) technology precisely calculates both your total body weight and body fat percentage simultaneously, by sending a harmless signal through the fat and muscle in the body. This breakthrough method translates its analysis into easy-to-understand information, which is displayed on the digital readout in about ten seconds.
