SETTING SYSTEM PREFERENCES
•
Height Units
Tell the Q3 whether you will be entering people’s heights in inches or centimeters.
•
Weight Units
Tell the Q3 whether you will be entering people’s weights in pounds or kilograms.
Results that are weights (i.e. amount of fat) are also formatted according to this setting.
•
Time and Date Format
These settings control how the date and time gets formatted when it is displayed on the
screen or printed on a report using the mini thermal printer. If you are printing via a PC
Link, how the date and time get formatted will depend on the settings of the PC appli-
cation used to print the report.
•
Print Using
This setting is used to format a report which is to be printed. If you will be using the
mini thermal printer, select “Attached Printer”. If you will be printing via a program
on your PC using either a direct cable connection or the RF Link, set the option to “PC
Link”.
•
Communications Speed
This setting allows you to select one of two different data rates. HOWEVER, unless
you are connecting the Q3 to a custom piece of hardware or software which specifi-
cally requests the higher setting, you should always leave this setting on 9600.
In the main menu, move the cursor to the field next to
“Edit Preferences”; press
ENTER
. Selected options are
marked with an ‘X’ to the left of the field. Shown on the
right, the 24-hour time formatting and Month/Day/Year
date formatting are both selected.
To change a setting, (for example, to set 12-hour AM/PM
formatting) move the cursor to the left of the field of the
desired option and press
ENTER
Please note:
The communications speed should always be
set to “9600” unless you are using custom-designed hard-
ware with your Q3.
When all options have been changed to the desired settings, press
MENU
to return to the
main menu.
