QUICK START INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE: This scale will always default to the settings and units last used, when it is turned on.
When using the scale, the weight of an object such as a wheelchair can be subtracted from the total
weight to determine the weight of the patient alone. The Tare Function automatically performs this
®
subtraction. ProPlus scales allow tare weight to be entered manually by using the keypad or
automatically, as outlined in this section.
AUTOMATIC (PUSH BUTTON TARE)
1. With all weight off the scale, press the ON/OFF or I/O button to turn on the scale.
2. Wait until "0.0Kg" and "ZERO" appear on the left side of the display.
3. Place the wheelchair on the scale. The display will show a value for the wheelchair's weight.
4. Press the TARE (9) button. The scale will zero out and the word "TARE" will appear in the upper right side of the
display to indicate there is a tare value for this patient's wheelchair.
5. Remove the weight from the scale. The display will show a negative weight equal to the weight of the
wheelchair, once it is removed from the scale.
6. Place the patient and wheelchair on the scale. The scale will automatically deduct the tared weight of the
wheelchair from the gross weight of the patient and wheelchair together.
7. The weight of the patient will appear on the scale.
8. The tared value is stored in memory until changed, cleared or the scale is turned off.
9. To remove the Tare, press the TARE (9) button again. The word "TARE" will disappear from the display and the
tare value will be deleted from memory. You can also press the EXIT button. The scale will resume normal
operation.
MANUAL (KEYBOARD OR KEYPAD TARE)
1. Make sure there is no object on the weighing platform.
2. Press the ON/OFF or I/O button to turn on the scale.
3. Wait until "0.0Kg" and "ZERO" appear on the left side of the display.
4. Press the TARE (9) button. The user will be prompted to enter the tare value.
5. Use the keypad to enter the weight of the shoes or other object and then press ENTER.
6. The value entered will show as a negative value on the display.
7. Place the patient and the tared object on the scale. The scale will automatically deduct the tared weight, as
entered, from the gross weight of the patient with the tared object.
8. The weight of the patient will appear on the scale.
9. The tared value is stored in memory until changed, cleared or the scale is turned off.
10. To remove the Tare, press the TARE (9) button again. The word "TARE" will disappear from the display and the
tare value will be deleted from memory. You can also press the EXIT button. The scale will resume normal
operation.
REMOVING THE TARE VALUE
Press the TARE (9) button again to delete a tare value from memory. The word "TARE" will disappear
from the display and the tare value will be deleted from memory. You can also press the EXIT button.
The scale will resume normal operation.

2. Press the ON/OFF or I/O button to turn the scale on.

4. Roll the patient onto the scale. The scale will calculate the patient's weight but the display will not show
a weight until the stable weight of the person 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.
5. Once a weight has been displayed, while the patient is still on the scale, we recommend performing a
second weighing by pressing the REWEIGH button.
6. After the weight measurement has been taken and is recorded have the patient roll off the scale.
