QUICK START INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE: This scale will always default to the settings and units last used (lb or kg), when it is turned on.
1. Make sure there is no object on the weighing platform.
2. Press the ON/OFF button to turn the scale on.
3. Wait until "0LB 0OZ" or "0.0Kg" and "ZERO" on the left side of the display appear.
4. Ask the patient to step on 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 ask the patient to step off the scale.
7. Press the ON / OFF button to turn the scale off.
Body Mass Index is another name for Quetelet Index, a formula that is a convenient and reliable
indicator of obesity. NOTE: The scale will not calculate BMI for a patient that is 24 pounds (12 kg) or
less. If a height is not entered for the patient within 30 seconds of pressing the BMI button, the scale
will return to the normal weighing mode.
1. Complete steps 1 to 4 above for "Weighing A Patient".
2. After obtaining the patient's weight on the scale, press the BMI (2) button while the scale is on.
3. The scale will prompt you to enter the patient's height. Use the keypad to enter the height.
NOTE: When weighing in pounds, the height is entered in ¼" increments. To increase the fractional
height of the patient, press "1" for ¼", "2" for ½" and "3" for ¾". When weighing in kilograms, the height
must be entered in 0.1 centimeter increments.
