QUICK START INSTRUCTIONS (CONTINUED)
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 26.4 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.

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.
