Omron Fat Loss Monitor HBF-306C

The item is an Omron Fat Loss Monitor, model HBF-306C, designed for personal body composition analysis. Its physical characteristics include a handheld device with a dark, possibly black or dark grey, plastic body. The top central section houses a rectangular digital display screen with two distinct readout areas, one above the other, likely for displaying multiple metrics simultaneously. To the left of the display, labels such as 'HEIGHT', 'WEIGHT', 'AGE', 'SEX', and 'MEM NO' are visible, indicating the personal data inputs required for its function. To the right, 'FAT' and 'BMI' are labeled, denoting the output measurements. Below the screen, there's a legend indicating 'LOW', 'NORMAL', 'HIGH', and 'VERY HIGH' which likely corresponds to the body fat or BMI readings. The device features two metallic, presumably electrode, handles that extend outwards from the central body, allowing the user to grip the device. The handles appear to be made of a brushed metal a or silver-colored plastic. The buttons for operation are located below the display screen in a circular arrangement. These include a prominent 'On/Off' button in yellow/orange, 'Down' and 'Up' arrow buttons for navigation, a 'Set' button (likely for confirming inputs), and a 'Start' button in green. The overall construction appears sturdy and ergonomic for handheld use. The visible condition suggests normal wear and tear, with no obvious signs of significant damage, cracks, or repairs. The screen appears clear and free of major scratches. The device appears to be from a contemporary period, likely late 20th or early 21st century, given its digital display and typical design for personal electronic health monitors. Its quality indicators point to a consumer-grade electronic device from a reputable brand in health monitoring equipment.
