These measurements are based on BIA (bioelectrical impedance analysis). As you stand on the scale, you stand on electrodes, which generate small electric impulses which pass throughout your body (and different tissues of course). Different tissues have different electrical conductivity and resistivity due to their different hydration (e.g fat tissue contains very small % of water, that's why its resistance is high), so the scale measures the % of different tissues in your body by analyzing the resistance(this analysis is quite complicated and not very accurate).

this sight gives you the measurements

These scales use sensors to measure the electrical resistance of the human body to calculate body fat. If you are not stepping on the scale barefoot then that might be the reason why it is timing out. These scales require you to step on it barefoot so it can take a measurement through your feet. And using the height and gender information in combonation with the resistance measurement it can calculate your approximate body fat precentage. If you are stepping on the scale barefoot then make sure that your feet are properly placed into the sensors and avoid any movement. Let me know if you have any questions.
Testimonial: "I am very happy with muebe's response to my problems. He was kind, respectful, and he his stuff. I definitely recommend him to anyone."

My daughter soaked ours from the shower and it never worked. Have you tried changing the battery? Maybe she wore it out playing with it. Good luck!
SOURCE: Hi I have the the
the remote is actually the peice the time is on.. i just changed the triple a batteries now and the hlo disappeared and i am now able to weigh myself again
