Weighing a Patient
Note: When these scales are turned on, they will always default to the settings and units last
used (lb or kg).
1. Make sure there is no object on the weighing 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. Depending on the movement of the patient on the
scale, it may take several seconds for the scale to lock onto the weight.
Caution: To prevent patient injury, the patient must be attended throughout the entire
weighing event. Exercise caution when rolling patient onto and off of the scale.

The last weight reading on the scale can be recalled by pressing the RECALL button. To clear
the display of the recalled weight, press the ENTER button.

memory. The recalled weight will remain in memory until another weight is obtained.
