OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (CONTINUED)
Weighing a Patient
Note: When this scale is turned on, it will always default to the settings and units last used (LB
or KG).
1. With all weight off the scale, press the ON/OFF button to turn on the scale.
2. "StArt" will briefly appear on the display, followed by "0.0" LB or "0.0" KG.
3. Assist the patient onto the scale. The scale will begin to display weight information. When a
stable weight is determined, "LOCK" will appear along with the patient's weight. Depending
on the movement of the patient on the scale, it may take several seconds for the scale to
lock onto the weight.
Caution: To prevent patient injury, the patient must be attended throughout the entire
weighing event.
4. The weight may be held on the display by pressing the HOLD/RELEASE button. To
release, press the HOLD/RELEASE button again. Note: The scale will not auto-off if a
weight is held on the display.
5. After the weight measurement has been taken, have the patient step off the scale.
6. Press the ON/OFF button to turn the scale off.
Zero Function
Zeroes the scale prior to a weight measurement. The ZERO button is also used in the Tare
function outlined below.
Tare Function
When using this scale, the weight of an object, such as a portable oxygen tank, can be
subtracted from the total weight in order to determine the weight of the patient alone.
1. With all weight off the scale, press the ON/OFF button to turn on the scale.
2. "StArt" will briefly appear on the display, followed by "0.0" LB or "0.0" KG.
3. Place the object on the scale. The display will show a value for the object's weight. The
minimum weight that can be tared is 5 lb / 2.27 kg. Note: The scale must lock onto a weight
before it can be tared.
4. Press the ZERO button. The word "TARE" will appear on the display, followed by "0.0" LB
or "0.0" KG.
5. Keep the object on the platform, and have the patient to step onto the scale. The scale will
automatically deduct the weight of the object and only display the patient's weight.
6. When you remove the item from the platform, "under" will be temporarily displayed and then
the display will return to "0.0" LB or KG.
