2. Press the
ON/OFF
button to turn the display assembly on. “88:8:8.8” will appear on the
display followed by zeroes.
3. Place the baby on the weighing seat so that its weight is evenly distributed. The scale will
begin to display weight information and will lock on the patient’s weight when the stable
weight of the patient 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. When a stable weight is
calculated,
a small ring will appear on the display along with the baby’s weight. If the display
shows “OVER” you have exceeded the capacity of the scale.
Caution: To prevent patient injury, the patient must be attended throughout the entire
weighing event.
