This scale uses bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) technology to calculate
body fat % . This technology works by measuring the resistance (impedance)
of small electrical currents through your body .
When the user's height and body impedance are known, the scale can accurately
determine total body water (TBW) and fat-free mass (FFM) . Fat-free mass is then
subtracted from your total body weight to obtain your body fat mass .
This scale should be used while barefoot . Measurement errors can occur
if weighing while wearing socks or nylon stockings . To avoid slipping,
do not step on the scale with wet feet . Do not use the scale on carpet .
