Weighing a Patient
Note: When this scale is turned on, it will always default to the settings and units last used (LB
or KG).
1. Make sure there is nothing on the scale platform.
2. Press the ON/OFF button to turn the display assembly on.
3. Wait until the "0.0" LB or "0.0" KG appears on the display.
