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. Wait until 0.0" LB or "0.0" KG appear on the display then assist the patient onto the
scale. "LOCK" will appear and flash on the display along with a weight
measurement. When a stable weight is determined "LOCK" will stay displayed 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.
3. The weight may be held on the display by pressing the HOLD/RELEASE button. To
release, press the HOLD/RELEASE button again.
4. After the weight measurement has been taken, have the patient step off the scale.
5. Press the ON/OFF button to turn the scale off.
Zero Function
The ZERO/TARE button zeroes the scale prior to a weight measurement. The
ZERO/TARE button is also used in the Tare function as 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. Wait until 0.0" LB or "0.0" KG appears on the display then 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.
3. Press the ZERO/TARE button. The word "TARE" will appear on the display,
followed by "0.0" LB or "0.0" KG.
4. 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.
5. 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. The display will show a negative
weight until the ZERO/TARE button is pressed.
