CAUTION!
Patient hazard
In order to avoid misinterpretations, measuring results for medical use
must be displayed and used in SI units (weight: Kilograms/grams,
length: Meters/centimeters) only. Some devices offer the ability to dis-
play measuring results in other units. This is only an additional func-
tion.
► Use the results exclusively in SI units.
► The use of measuring results in non-SI units is the sole responsibility
of the user.
You can switch between the metric units kilograms and centimeters and the
imperial units pounds and feet/inches during the measurement procedure.
The units of weight and height change at the same time.
1. Switch on the measuring station (➔ "Switching on the device", page 27).
2. Keep the
changes.
