3. Choose one of the four alert types and then press ENTER. The selection has now been
made and the user will be returned to the Home Screen.
Scale System: Zeroing the Scale
With the patient out of the bed, press and hold the ZERO button for 3 seconds. This process sets
the tare weight (base weight) and will return to the Home Screen when complete.
With the tare weight set, the patient may now be placed in the bed and begin recording weight.
NOTE:
Make sure all equipment and linens are on the bed before zeroing the scale. If an air
support mattress is being used with the patient, be sure to fully inflate the mattress prior to zeroing
the scale. Adding or removing items during the zeroing process will cause inaccurate patient
weight. It is highly recommended that the scale be zeroed before each new patient.
Scale System: Adding/Removing Items
The feature will allow items to be added and removed such as blankets or pillows from the bed
without affecting the current weight reading of a patient.
1. Access the Menu by pressing the UP or DOWN arrow until
ADD/REMOVE ITEMS is highlighted and then press ENTER.
2. Press ENTER to add/remove items from the bed.
3. Change the items on the bed and press
ENTER when complete. The user will
now return to the Home Screen.
NOTE:
If steps 2 and 3 are not completed within 30 minutes then the unit will automatically exit
the Add/Remove Items screen and return to Standby.
