ENTERING FOOD CODES
– The food code is en-
tered to tell the scale what is being weighed. Each
food has been assigned a code number from 0001
to 1999. Find the food you want to weigh in the Food
Code Booklet, arranged by category. Enter the Food
Code number when the four digit Food Code number
is blinking on the display. The display will show the nu-
trient value for the amount of food you have placed on
the scale. NOTE: If no food code has been entered,
the nutrient values will not be displayed, except when
in the TOTAL mode (see below for more information
on cumulative data).
COMPUTING PERIODIC TOTALS
– The scale al-
lows you to keep a running total of your nutritional in-
take by using the TOTAL function. NOTE: The TOTAL
function is active when the word TOTAL appears near
the bottom right corner of the display. The TOTAL key
toggles between the display of cumulated totals and
the nutrient values of the current food being weighed.
When in the TOTAL mode, only the CLEAR function
is available. You must always exit the TOTAL mode
by pressing TOTAL again before you can access
other functions. TIP: The word TOTAL will not be vis-
ible near the bottom right corner of the display screen
once you have exited the TOTAL mode.
TO ADD TO THE CUMULATIVE FOOD TOTAL: With
food on the scale and the nutrients displayed, press
SAVE. The values will be added to the cumulative food
total. Press TOTAL to toggle into the TOTAL mode.
Review the cumulative food total. Press TOTAL again
to return to NORMAL mode.
TO CLEAR THE TOTAL: Press the TOTAL key to
enter the TOTAL mode. Press and hold the CLEAR
key for 3 seconds to zero the total (You would typi-
cally clear the totals before making the first entry of
the day).
