Error code r5 on Tanita BF-350
Just spoke with Tanita Tech support- r5 indicates if the scale is in PC mode (able to receive data from scale). There is a button sequence to toggle between PC mode and stand-alone mode.1. Press&Hold Zero button, then Press&Hold On/Off.2. Release.3. Arrow buttons toggle between PC mode and Stand-Alone, select which mode you would like.4. Press Set button to select mode.Hope this helps!
Does having water effect the
Yes. These systems work by what could be broken down as, "Bio-electrical Impedance Monitoring".
Meaning, they measure the amount of resistance in your body to determine the "volume %" of non-resistive materials (fat and water). Since bones and muscle are very dense in comparison, the scale can calculate the total weight of a person, then determine their "expected BF%). Fat is about 80-90% water depending on your genetic makeup, and it would only make sense that if you where full of fluids (either by ingesting large amounts or by fluid build up under the skin) that your BF% would read higher.
My professional suggestion? Use it only after waking and before any morning drink or food.
(REMEMBER...THESE THINGS WILL NEVER BE EXACT!!!) Hydrostatic weighing in the only way to be 99%+ on your BFC (body fat composition)
GOOD LUCK AND PLEASE RATE THIS POST!!
P.S. one way to test this method is to hold something heavy in your hands and watch it consider that weight Lean Muscle Tissue. Then stick your hands in a sink full of still water (moving water posses a small electrical charge that could give a false reading) and watch your BF% increase.
My Tanita KD-300 is showing err6 - what should does it mean?
It seems that the error code "Err6" on a Tanita KD-300 scale indicates that there is a problem with the measurement sensors or the internal circuitry of the scale. This could occur due to a number of reasons, such as a buildup of dirt or moisture on the sensor, a loose connection, or an issue with the battery or power supply.
One potential solution is to try cleaning the sensor and making sure it is properly connected. If the issue persists, you may need to contact customer support or consider having the scale repaired.
It is worth noting that the Tanita KD-300 model is an older model, and some of the solutions mentioned in the search results may not be applicable to your specific issue. It is recommended to consult the user manual or contact customer support for more information on troubleshooting the issue.

Now step onto the platform.
If you step onto the platform before "0.0" / "88888"appears the display will show "Error" and Note:
you will not obtain a reading. Furthermore, if you do not step onto the measuring
platform within about 60 seconds after "0.0"/ "88888" appears, the power is shut-off automatically.
