Does the weight lock in on the screen long enough for you to step off the scale and see the number or do you have to stay on the scale?

It does stay on the screen for a number of seconds, long enough to step off and read it.

Make sure to first tap it strongly with your toe and wait to see a "0.0" on the scale before stepping onto it fully. After 1-2 seconds from the tap, the zero should appear. Step fully into the scale and within 2-3 second the number will stabilize on your weight. Additional lesson learned: Make sure your balls of your feet are fully on the scale or it'll read a little lighter than you actually are.

No I do not believe so. When you step on it the weight doesnt change (and I purposely moved the scale to see if I stood on it different or if I moved it around with my feet-) seemed to stay the same with no change.

It works fine for me, the thing is you have to stand on the scale until all 3 readings show. Don't get off the scale right after your weight shows, wait for all 3 figures and then you can step off. Also, in order to measure body fat and water weight your info must be entered into the scale. You should have created a profile for yourself listing your age and height, and when you step on the scale you should select your profile only for accurate readings (you can create multiple profiles). If that doesn't work, maybe your scale is defective.

The display screen will count calories, track time on treadmill, and tells you the distance you walked. However, you are not able to enter your weight in and the calories are just a general calories burned opposed to being accurate for your weight. It does have a heart rate monitor built on display. The calories, time and distance will rotate between those numbers instead of having them stationary on the screen. The treadmill has (I think) around 6 different workout settings that are preset. The display screen will also show you what looks like a track and you are able to see how far along you are in the workout etc. Hope this helps!

Weight is shown while standing on this excellent scale. While I have never thought about it in terms of seconds, while I am standing on it there is plenty of time to read the number after stabilization. It shuts off immediately after stepping off.

You have to stay on the scale until the gauge thing at the top goes all the way to the right and then it will start displaying all the additional information. If you step on, the weight is displayed and then step off, the scale doesn't have time to calculate the information. You also need to stand still.

You have the option of programming the scale to turn off automatically or to stay on. I left the setting to shut off automatically; have not changed that; and have not had the scale turn off before I was ready for it to do so.

If no activity is occurring, the scale stays on for 1 minute. Pressing the mode button if not actively weighing will reset the off timer and stay on for another minute. As long as weighing is occurring, i.e., as long as the display is changing, the unit will stay on. It only cycles off if no change in the display occurs after 1 minute.

When you get on the scale, the display flashes when the weight is stable. Now, you can get off the scale. After you get off the scale, the weight is still displayed for about 10 seconds before it is shutoff. Its not in minutes, but it stays on for 10 seconds.

One never weighs material on scale directly, one has to buy small wax paper or other weighing paper. As far as not staying on , it should stay on as long as you are weighing something. It will turn off once the scale isn't being used

What I like about this scale is this: you can put a large box on top. The scale displays the weight and beeps. When you hear the beep you know that the weight is registered on the display. You can now remove the box and see the weight displayed there. The weight stays on the display for about 30 seconds.

I have the same problem. The only way to get around this that I know of, is to first step on the scale, wait for the reading. Then step off and wait for It to reset, or It says ready. Then step on again and It should be correct. For some reason It is off by 4 or 5 pounds, the first time you use It after auto shutoff. I wonder If the manufacturer knows this ?

If you stay actively weighing things...it stays on, but if you pause for 60 seconds...it will turn off.

Hi Christa, To calibrate the scale: Press "MODE" and "ON/OFF" at the same time to turn on the scale and release the keys until the LCD shows ISN. When ISN is stable, press "ON/OFF", the LCD will show "30lb". Then put a 30 lb weight set unto the scale and press "ON/OFF" again. LCD shows "PASS", the calibration is finished.

Your weight will stay on the display for about 3 seconds after you step off.

Step on, read the number, step off. Write it down if you need to track it. Math is good. It's a nice scale, though. It would be nice if it sent email to your smartphone but it doesn't. :0
