2.4. Set the Weight Threshold
1. The patient should step onto scale, gradually placing more
weight until the prescribed weight threshold is met.
2. While holding the load at or below the prescribed weight
threshold, set the weight threshold knob so the warning
tone is activated. See Figure 5.
3. NOTE: Turning the knob counter-clockwise reduces the
weight threshold. Turning the knob clockwise increases
the weight threshold.
Figure 5. The weight threshold
knob adjusts the force required
to activate the warning tone.
2.5. Monitor PedAlert Usage
1. The volume should be maintained so that the patient can
hear the alarm.
2. The light should blink about once per second, which sig-
nals proper connections and power levels.
3.
Monitor patient to make sure that the gait and the limb
load applied are the same as when setting the weight
threshold.
4.
DO NOT change the weight threshold unless instructed to
do so by a physician.
