Can the body fat calculator be turned off for a user? My wife has a pace maker and I don't want a scale she can't use also.

I don't know but you could ask Tanita customer service. I know that you can stand on the scale and just get a weight butI can not tell you if that means the bioimpedence component of the unit would NOT affect the pace maker. I don't know if it isactivated all the time or if setting it up to read the percent water and percent fat activates it. Good luck.

Yes this feature can be turned off. The scale has a weight-only mode which is activated by tapping the center toe key at the base of the platform.

There is no reason why you could not. You can turn off the GPS and run as stand alone heart rate monitor. The tread mill should give your distance/pace, ect and you would than manually enter that info in to your Runtastic activity profile with the "manual edit" feature online once you had synced the watch and uploaded that specific activity.

If you are working out and press "stop", your time, miles, etc will keep on for about 5 minutes, then it will reset itself to the select screen. I usually turn it off completely.

Not on the BFCT1 model that I have. It has settings for time, distance, calories, pulse, and a body fat calculator.

YES, there is more than 1 setting you can use. we actually have 2 of them for different houses, 1 has that setting for my husband as a motivator and the other just shows the current weight in tenths

I bought the FitBit Ultra about 3 weeks ago directly from FitBit and use it in conjunction with LoseIt.com for weight loss management. Unfortunately, I have found that the FitBit records steps when I ride my bicycle. No way to turn it off, though you can go through a convoluted process to "blank out" the time you were on your bike and not have those steps count. Too much time keeping exercise. They simply need to add a way to turn the darn thing off and back on. It's really not of much use for my purposes. It was a pretty expensive mistake for me. Should have read more about it.

No, it does not turn off. The screen is always displaying your current step count.

No, I don't think there is any way to turn it off. The timers will run until they hit 24 hours and then zero out. I'm not sure why you would want to turn it off, unless you were concerned about battery life. I use mine daily for nap and evening sleep times, plus i use the night light periodically. The current batteries lasted 6 months.

Yes, there is a small hole in the back of the scale which can be used to reset the machine. If you are still having issues after this point, I'd consider contactif customer support. https://help.fitbit.com/customer/portal/emails/new

Not that I know of but I like the auto shutoff as I forget to turn it off. This does have a longer on time then my old scale did.

I don't use the pedometer very much but I think you can set it to run all the time until you "erase" and return to zero. Suggest you contact Pixnor and ask.

Yes, it auto shuts down after about 30 secs of inactivity... it's kind of a pain to keep poking the scale when I'm measuring stuff.

The first two reviewers are wrong, and MeasuRite is correct: you tare with the on/off button, as with many other digital scales. To actually turn it off, you HOLD the button for 3 seconds.

According to the User guide provided with the scale, it turns off after 3 minutes of inactivity.Peter

I read that the method these scales use to measure % body fat (bioelectrical impedance analysis) is highly inaccurate. The best you can hope for is spotting trends over time (i.e. does % body fat decrease over a longer time period). The fact that you have to give the machine all kinds of parameters (height, age, fitness level etc) clearly shows that the machine is not measuring your body fat, but is using a mathematical algorithm to come up with an educated 'guess' what your % body fat might be.

No, it automatically turns on when you step on it to measure your weight and it turns off by itself in a few seconds after you step off of it. To use the BMI measurement, you must push a button first, then step on it.

Yes, it does! You can actually save two users. For instance, on ours when I first turn it on I have the options to select guest, myself, or my husband. It's a nice feature because it saves your weight, etc. and you can customize your workout. My favorite is entering the amount of calories I want to burn and so I workout and it's not done until I burn that amount!
