Zeroing the Scale
The bed scale must be set at zero before weighing a patient.
• Zero the scale by pressing and holding the Zero/000.0 switch on the scale
control panel.
• Continue holding the Zero/000.0 switch until the scale display “000.0”
stops flashing.
• Release the Zero/000.0 switch.
Important: after releasing the Zero/000.0 switch, the scale display CALC
appears.
• Do not touch the bed until the CALC stops flashing and a beep sounds.
This may take up to 20 seconds.
• Place the patient on the bed.
For the most accurate reading, the patient must be lying still and centered on
the mattress.

The Advanta™ Bed scale can compensate for items that are added to or
removed from the bed. Use the scale control panel to add or remove items on
the bed.

memory while items are being changed.

NOTE:
If there is a list of items, you may want to update the list at this time.
• After all desired items on the bed are changed, press and release the
Change Items switch to display the patient’s weight again.
