IV. Using Device
A. Basic Operation
Switch on the device using
[ON/ZERO/OFF]
key. The device will
automatically perform self-calibration, displaying software version.
Once "0.00 kg" appears on indicator, device is ready for measurement.
Note
: If "0.00 kg" does not display on indicator, press
[ON/ZERO/OFF]
key to zero the device. This function can be used for weight within
±
2%
of full capacity.
Carefully place subject upon the measurement platform. After the weight
has stabilized, the "stable" symbol will appear on indicator.
Note
: If subject's weight exceeds scale capacity (including tare),
indicator will display "Err" prompt due to overload.
B. Tare
The tare function allows the user to deduct the weight of objects from the

2. Press
[ON/ZERO/OFF]
key after stable symbol appears on indicator.
Display will indicate "0.00 kg".

platform. Conduct measurement.
4. To clear tare value, remove all objects from measurement platform,
and press
[ON/ZERO/OFF]
key.
C. Hold
The hold function determines average weight, designed to be used if
subject's weight will not stabilize (ex: an active infant).
Note:

difficult and hold may not function correctly
1. Switch on the device normally.
2. Press the
[HOLD]
key. "HOLD" will be displayed on the indicator.
3. Carefully place subject on measurement platform.
