6. Operation Input weight and its percentage from keypad, and calculate unit-percentage-weight: in percent weighing mode, press [UNIT/DATA] key, When InP.Pct is shown, press [TARE/PRESET] key to enter this mode: (1) Before input weight, use [PRINT/FUNC] or [ACC/TOTAL] key to select the percentage from 1%, 2%, 5%, 10%, 20%, 50% and 100%, this percentage is corresponding to the weight you will input in the following steps (2) When UNIT.KG is shown, use [PRINT/FUNC] or [ACC/TOTAL] key to select the unit of input weight,...
6. Operation 6.4 BMI working mode To make BMI working Mode be available, CONFIG-FUNC-BMI menu item should be set to YES and factory setting should be also enable this function. To enter BMI working mode: When CONFIG-FUNC-ACCUMU=Yes: If In normal weighing mode, percent weighing mode, or counting mode, press [PRINT/FUNC] key long, then WEIGH or COUNT or PERCEN will be shown, use [ACC/TOTAL] or [PRINT/FUNC] key to select BMI, then press [TARE/PRESET] to confirm go to BMI mode.
