To determine a person’s weight, height and BMI the patient should stand on the
platform within the marked area and look straight ahead. The ultrasonic sensor will
detect that a person is on the platform signified by the symbol in the upper right
part of the display and start to determine the height. When a stable reading of
weight is obtained the three readings will be displayed.
The results will remain on the display until the
