SCALE SYSTEM VERIFICATION (OPTIONAL)
1.
Press and release the Weigh / On button. A weight will appear on the scale display four to ten seconds later.
If the stretcher is unstable while the scale tries to weigh, the unstable stretcher icon (see note below) will
appear on the display. Repeat the current operation once the stretcher is stabilized. Next, press and hold the
Zero key for at least two seconds. A 0.0 lb/kg weight should appear on the display four to ten seconds later.
Note
The
icon may appear at any time when using the scale. It indicates that the scale is unable to take a reading of
the patient's weight because the stretcher is unstable. Simply stabilize the stretcher and repeat the current operation.
2.
The scale automatically shuts off after a 30 seconds of inactivity, except during the Change Equipment procedure
where the delay is three minutes. To reactivate the scale, press the Weigh / On button.

The weight reading can be displayed in pounds (lb) or kilograms (kg). Press the lb / kg key to switch from a weight
reading unit to the other. The lb / kg button can be deactivated to prevent inadvertent use of the key. To do so,
press and hold the lb / kg and Memory buttons for at least two seconds. To reactivate the lb / kg button, perform
the same procedure.

Place a known weight on the mattress of the stretcher and press the Weigh / On button. A weight reading will be
displayed four to ten seconds later. Ensure the unit is flat and the weight displayed is accurate to ± 0.5 lb. (0.2 kg)
at 50 lb. (22 kg) or less and ± 1.0 lb. (0.4 kg) at ≥ 50 lb. (22 kg) of the actual weight. If not, perform the "Scale
System Calibration" procedure
5.
The weight reading displayed can be stored. To store a weight reading, press the Weigh / On button. Press and
hold the Memory button for at least two seconds. Release the button when "Memory" appears on the screen. The
load weight previously read by the scale should now be stored in memory.
The weight reading stored during the previous step can be erased. To erase a stored weight press the Weigh / On

button. Press and hold the Memory and Zero buttons for at least two seconds. The value stored is zeroed when
the keys are released and 0.0 lb/kg appears on the screen.
7.
Equipment can be added or removed from the stretcher when the patient is in it. Leave the patient on the stretcher
and press the Weigh / On button. A reading will appear on the display four to ten seconds later. Next, press the
Change Equipment button; "Change Equipment" will appear on the screen four to ten seconds later. Add or remove
the extra equipment to the stretcher and press the Change Equipment button. The weight of the initial load should
now be displayed within ± 0.5 lb. (0.2 kg) at 50 lb. (22 kg) or less and within ± 1.0 lb. (0.4 kg) at ≥ 50 lb. (22 kg)
when flat.
