OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (CONTINUED)
Weighing a Patient
1. Make sure there is nothing on the tray/seat.
2. Press the ON/OFF button to turn the display assembly on. "88:8:8.8" followed by "0:0.0" will
appear on the display.
3. Lay the baby on the scale so that its weight is evenly distributed on the tray/seat. The scale
will begin to display weight information and will lock on the patient's weight when the stable
weight of the patient is determined. Depending on the movement of the patient on the scale, it
may take several seconds for the scale to lock onto the weight. When a stable weight is
calculated a small ring will appear on the display along with the baby's weight. If the display
shows "OVER" you have exceeded the capacity of the scale.
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.
5. After the weight measurement has been taken and is recorded, remove the baby from the
weighing tray. After weight is removed from the tray the scale will return to zero.
6. 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
The tare function allows you to place other items on the scale while weighing the baby without
affecting the baby's weight reading.
1. With all weight off the scale, press the ON/OFF button to turn on the scale.
2. Wait until "0:0.0" appears on the display.
3. Place the object on the scale. The display will show a value for the object's weight.
4. Press the ZERO/TARE button. The word "TARE" will appear on the display, followed by
"0:0.0".
5. Keep the object on the platform, and lay the baby on the tray. The scale will display the
baby's weight.
Note: If the scale does not return to "0:0.0" when you remove the object and baby from the tray,
press the ZERO/TARE button to return the scale to zero.
