Using the Height Rod
The height rod can be extended to accommodate people of different heights and measures from 27.5 to 82 x 1/8" (70 to 208 x
1 mm). It is comprised of a stationary outer sleeve and an inner rod that slides up and stays in place once extended.
Measurements are shown in inches and centimeters.
1. To extend the length of the height rod, hold the white latch located next to the indicator display and pull it up vertically.

2.
Raise the headpiece until it is perpendicular to the height rod and snaps into place.
3.
Raise the rod until the person can easily stand without touching the headpiece.
4.
Have the person step onto the scale with their head level.
5.
With a person on the scale, lower the entire height rod (not just the headpiece), until the headpiece just touches the
top of the person’s head.
The headpiece should remain level, not slanted up or down.
