OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (CONT)
Using the Tare Function
When using this scale, the weight of an object, such as a blanket, on the scale with the baby being
weighed can be subtracted from the total weight to determine the net weight of the baby alone. The
Tare function automatically performs this subtraction, avoiding the need for manual calculations.
1. Turn the scale on and wait for the display to read "0".
2. Place the object (i.e. blanket) on the tray. The weight of the object will be displayed.
3. Press the TARE button. "NET WT" and "0.0" will be displayed.
If the object is removed from the platform, its weight will be displayed as a negative value.
4. Place the baby on the tray with the object. The readout will now display the baby's net
weight.
5. Press ON/ZERO to return the scale back to normal weighing operation.
Using the Weightlock Function
When using this scale, the weight of any object over 512 grams will be locked on the display even
after the baby has been removed from the tray. This allows the caregiver to tend to the needs of the
baby first before recording the weight. This value can be recalled even after the scale has turned off.
When the baby's weight is locked, "PRIOR WT" is displayed (Fig. 5). The weight will remain
displayed even after the baby is removed from the tray. No further weighings can take place until the
weight is cleared by pressing ON/ZERO or REWEIGH/RECALL (Fig 6).
