Page 3: Introduction
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, resting metabolism and visceral fat level using the BI (Bioelectrical Impedance) Method. The monitor also calculates the BMI (Body Mass Index) and body age as well as weight. -
Page 4: Safety Information
Do not use this monitor if you have a cardiac pacemaker or other implanted medical device. The Full Body Sensor Body Composition Monitor and Scale passes an extremely weak electrical current of 50kHz and less than 500µA through your body when taking a measurement to determine the amount of fat tissue. This weak current is not felt while using the monitor. - Page 5 CARE AND MAINTENANCE Do not disassemble or modify the unit. Changes or modifications not approved by Omron Healthcare will void the user warranty. Do not subject the monitor to strong shocks, such as dropping the unit on the floor.

Page 6: Information On Body Composition
The Omron Full Body Sensor Body Composition Monitor and Scale sends an extremely weak electrical current of 50 kHz and less than 500 µA through your body to determine the amount of water in each tissue. You will not notice or feel the electrical current. -
Page 7: Body Mass Index
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. -

Page 9: Resting Metabolism
INFORMATION ON BODY COMPOSITION RESTING METABOLISM Regardless of your activity level, a minimum level of caloric intake is required to sustain the body’s everyday functions. Known as the resting metabolism, this indicates how many calories you need to ingest in order to provide enough energy for your body to function. 60-70% of daily energy use is for resting metabolism The total amount of energy used by the body in a typical day is as follows: Resting metabolism... -
Page 10: Skeletal Muscle
< 33.1 60-80 < 32.9 Source: Omron Healthcare BODY AGE Body age is based on your resting metabolism. Body age is calculated by using your weight, body fat percentage and skeletal muscle percentage to produce a guide to whether your body age is above or below the average for your actual age. -
Page 11: Long-Term Planning For Successful Weight Loss
More skeletal muscle can prevent “rebound” weight gain. The Omron Full Body Sensor Body Composition Monitor and Scale tracks your progress by monitoring weight, skeletal muscle, body fat, BMI and resting metabolism rate to help you reach your goals. -
Page 12: Recommended Measurement Times
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. - Page 13 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.

Questions and answers
Batteries are still good at two voltss each. It seems to have forgotten that I was number one and my wife was number two. It doesn’t respond to either of those buttons. It does allow me to get on and take my weight measurement but when I hold my hands out in front of me amd the blinking starts, it doesn’t go through the progression of measurements. I am now 83 years old and I know this thing says it was good for people up to 80.
If your Omron HBF-514 scale is not recognizing user profiles and not completing measurements, try the following steps:
1. Check Battery Installation – Ensure the batteries are installed with the correct polarity and are not mixed with old or different types.
2. Replace Batteries – If the batteries are old or mixed, replace all four AA batteries at the same time with new ones.
3. Ensure Proper Usage – Stand on the measurement platform with bare feet. Wearing socks may cause slipping and affect measurement accuracy.
4. Verify User Profile Settings – Confirm that your personal profile (age, height, gender) is correctly set.
5. Reset the Device – If issues persist, remove the batteries for at least three minutes, then reinstall them and re-enter user profiles.
6. Check Storage Conditions – Ensure the device is stored and used within the recommended temperature and humidity ranges.
If the problem continues, consult the instruction manual or contact customer support.
