When using one of our segmental BIA scales it depends on the measurement mode you use on the scale whether the scale automatically subtracts the weight of the hand grip from the total weight or not:

1. In a weight-only measurement, you leave the hand grip on the platform and the scale does not subtract the weight of the hand grip from your total body weight.

2. For a full BIA measurement, you need to lift and hold the hand grip before stepping on the scale and the scale will then automatically subtract the weight of the hand grip from your total body weight.

As a result, the scale always measures the correct total weight when the weighing or measuring process is performed correctly.
