HOW IT WORKS
The glass electronic scale displays the percentage of body fat in relation to the total body
weight.
The electrodes under the standing platform send out a mild, safe electrical current to
measure the electrical resistance of the body. Lean muscle has a lower resistance than
fat and this can be correlated with body weight. The built-in computer uses this information
along with your gender, height, and age to compute the percentage of the of body fat.
The scale has up to 12 memory slots, allowing it to be used by everyone in the family
without entering personal data every time. The built-in micro-chip gives a reading within
30 seconds.
