Zero Function
Zeroes the scale prior to a weight measurement. The ZERO button is also used in the Tare

Tare Function
When using this scale, the weight of an object, such as a cane, can be subtracted from the total
weight in order to determine the weight of the patient alone.
1. With all weight off the scale, press the ON/OFF button to turn on the scale.
2. Wait until the "0.0" LB or "0.0" KG appears on the display.
3. Set the unit (LB or KG).
3. Place the object on the scale. The display will show a value for the object's weight.
4. Press the ZERO button. The word "TARE" will appear on the display, followed by "0.0" LB or
"0.0" KG.
5. Keep the object on the platform, then ask the patient to step onto the scale as well. The scale
will automatically deduct the weight of the object and only display the patient's weight.
6. When you remove the item from the platform, "under" will be temporally displayed and then
the display will return to "0.0" LB or KG.
