1.0 INTRODUCTION • The MDW 300L scale is a Digital Health and Fitness Scale with Body Mass Index (BMI) readout. • It is an accurate electronic device with advanced design and stable performance. • It is designed to measure both the weight and the height of a person and compute the BMI index.
3.0 DISPLAY AND KEY DESCRIPTIONS KEYS FUNCTIONS [On/Off / To turn the scale on or off. Zero] To zero the scale if the display drifts from zero. [Tare] ↵ ↵ ↵ ↵ To tare the scale, if necessary. Accept settings as required [Units / To toggle the weighing unit between Kg and Lb.
4.0 SETTING UP THE SCALE • Take the scale out of the box. 1. Locate the 4 screws (2) 2. Place the cable (4) through the pillar (3). 3. Insert the 4 screws (2) through the holes on the pillar bracket and secure the bracket to the indicator (1), 4.

9. Place the indicator cable (4) and the load cell cable (13) together near the hole on the base (16). 10. Plug the two connectors (15) together. 11. Position the connector inside the base (16). 12. The cables should be fixed to the base using the clip provided (14).
5.0 FUNCTION WEIGHING • Place the Scale on an even floor and press the [On/Off] key. • The instrument performs a self-test after which it is ready for operation. • Press the [On/Off] key and the machine switches off. • The person to be weighed can step on to the platform once the scale shows 0.0 on the display.
MEASURING HEIGHT • To measure someones height, it is necessary to extract the measuring rod and place the height arm on top of the head of the person being measured. • For shorter heights the height arm can be released by pressing the red button on the top of the height rod, and then moving the height arm to the lower section of the height pillar.
6.0 CALIBRATION Before calibrating the scale, you should ensure that you have a suitable known weight for calibration. 1. When in normal weighing mode with the scale at zero press and hold down [TARE] and [ON / OFF] keys to enter the calibration mode. 2.
7.0 USER PARAMETERS This indicator has 4 parameter settings that can be selected. When the scale is in normal weighing mode, press and hold down the [ON / OFF] key and the [UNIT] key for 3 seconds until ‘Setup’ is shown on the display. When in the SETUP mode, press the [Print/Hold] key to change the flashing digits, and [TARE] key to confirm the flashing digits and move to the next parameter setting.
