or KG).

ON/OFF
button to turn on the scale.

“StArt” will briefly appear on the display, followed by “0.0” LB or “0.0” KG.
3. Assist the patient onto the scale. The scale will begin to display weight information. When a
stable weight is determined, “LOCK” will appear along with the patient’s weight. Depending

Tare Function

ON/OFF
button to turn on the scale.
2.
“StArt” will briefly appear on the display, followed by “0.0” LB or “0.0” KG.

object’s weight. The
minimum weight that can be tared is 5 lb / 2.27 kg. Note: The scale must lock onto a weight
before it can be tared.
4. Press the
ZERO
button. The word “TARE” will appear on the display, followed by “0.0” LB
or “0.0” KG.
5. Keep the object on the platform, and have the patient to step onto the scale. The scale will
automatically deduct the weight of the object and only display the patient’s weight.
6. When you remove the item from the pla
tform, “under” will be temporarily displayed and then
the display will return to “0.0” LB or KG.
