The OMRON Body Composition Monitor and Scale with Bluetooth Connectivity (BCM-500) measures and displays six body metrics. Along with your height, weight, age and gender information, this OMRON monitor and scale helps you track your body composition based on human physiology.
Smart tracking of six body metrics:
Body weight
Body fat percentage
Visceral fat (up to 30 levels)
Skeletal muscle percentage
Resting metabolism (in kcal)
Body mass index (BMI)
Easy to use, this OMRON body composition monitor and scale can be used by adults up to 330 pounds and 6.5 feet tall. It features an easy-to-read LCD display, a four-person memory profile for the whole family to use, as well as a guest mode.

The BCM-500 is clinically validated for accuracy of Visceral Fat Level, Body Fat Percentage, Skeletal Muscle Percentage and Resting Metabolism.
Set your monitor on a hard flat surface. Placing it on carpet or a mat can effect accuracy. Step onto your monitor with your bare feet and place the arches of your feet onto the center of the monitor. Wearing socks or footwear can result in an inaccurate measurement. Also, do not bend y our knees during measurement to assure accuracy.
This OMRON body composition monitor and scale stores up to 30 readings for four profiles, tracking your progress. See Section 5, Set-up your Personal Data, in your instruction manual to learn how. Your BCM-500 also has a Guest Mode for occasional visitors. These recordings, however, are not recorded. See Section 10, Guest Mode, for more information.
OMRON's Fat Loss Monitor with Scale estimates the body fat percentage by using the Bioelectrical Impedance (BI) Method. Muscles, blood vessels and bones are body tissues having a high water content that conducts electricity easily. Body fat is tissue that has little electrical conductivity. The Fat Loss Monitor with Scale sends an extremely weak electrical current of 50 kHz and less and 500 µA through your body to determine the amount of fat tissue. This weak electrical current is not felt while operating the Fat Loss Monitor with Scale.
Understanding the normal changes in your body fat percentage can help you in preventing or reducing obesity. Being aware of the times when the body fat percentages shift within your own daily schedule will assist you in obtaining an accurate trending of your body fat. It is recommended to use this monitor in the same environment and daily circumstances.
If you would like to manually calculate your lean body mass you can do so by subtracting your body fat in pounds from your total body weight. You can determine the amount of body fat in pounds by multiplying your weight by the body fat percentage. For example, a 200lb person with 20% body fat would have 40 lbs of fat (200 X .20). His lean body mass would then be 200-40= 160lbs.
The process for changing the mode of readings is unique to your model. Please check your instruction manual or contact our support representatives at (866) 216-1333. If you need an electronic copy of your manual please click here for a list of manuals available for download.
Recommended Measurement Times
Understanding the normal changes in your body fat percentage can help you in preventing or reducing obesity. Being aware of the times when the body fat percentages shift within your own daily schedule will assist you in obtaining an accurate trending of your body fat. It is recommended to use this monitor in the same environment and daily circumstances.
After waking up
Before lunch and about 2 hours or more after breakfast
In the afternoon about 2 hours or more after lunch and before taking a bath or eating dinner
Before going to bed and about 2 hours or more after dinner or bath
Avoid Taking Measurements Under the Following Conditions:
Immediately after vigorous exercise, after a bath or sauna
After drinking alcohol or a large amount of water, after a meal (about 2 hours). If a measurement is taken under these physical conditions, the calculated body composition may differ significantly from the actual one because the water content in the body is changing.
How Does it Work?
Muscles, blood vessels & bones contain high water content and conduct electricity easily
Body fat stores little water and has little electric conductivity known as “impedance”
This monitor uses Bioelectric Impedance (BI) method of measurement
A low-level electrical current is sent through your body to determine the amount of fat tissue
This info, along with your height, weight, age & gender determines your body composition
