OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT: To prevent injury when utilizing the scale with the weighing tray, place the scale in a
secure location, far from the edge of the flat surface used to hold the scale. Do not let the scale
touch the wall or any other object while it is in use.
When using the scale to weigh toddlers who will stand on the scale, place the scale on the floor.
NEVER WEIGH A STANDING CHILD ON A COUNTER OR TABLE.
Weighing a Patient
This scale is dual-purpose and can be used with the infant weighing tray or toddler step-on platform. If
using the product as an infant scale, ensure the tray is completely attached to the scale platform. If using
the product as a toddler step-on scale, follow the instructions to remove the tray and have the patient step
onto the platform.
Infant Tray Scale
1. Make sure there is nothing on the tray or platform.
2. Press the ON • TARE • OFF button to turn on the scale. "88:8:8.8" will appear on the display followed
by "u XX" (XX refers to the version number) then "0:00" or "0.0" depending on the weight measuring
unit selected.
3. Place the baby on the tray or have the child step onto the scale platform. Ensure that the child's
weight is evenly distributed on the tray or platform. 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. The weight is
locked when lb/oz or kg appears on the display along with the patient's weight.
Note: If dashes "-----------" appear at the top of the display you have exceeded the capacity of the
scale. (44 lb / 20 kg)
Caution: To prevent patient injury, the patient must be attended throughout the entire
weighing event.
4. Remove the child from the scale. If the child's weight is more than 4.4 lb / 2 kg, the scale will continue
to display the weight for approximately 10 seconds.
Tare Function
The tare function allows you to place other items on the scale while weighing a baby, without affecting the
baby's weight reading.
1. Place the item you want to tare on the weighing tray. When the scale locks onto item's weight, press
ON • TARE • OFF. The scale will return to zero.
2. Place the patient on the scale with the tared object. The scale will automatically deduct the tared
weight and the display will show only the patient's weight.
Note: If you remove the tared item from the scale before weighing the patient, the display will show
the tare value as a negative value.
3. To remove the Tare, press ON • TARE • OFF. The scale will resume normal operation.
