F. ADDING OR REMOVING EQUIPMENT WITH A PATIENT IN THE STRETCHER
•
Press the
Weigh/On
button to activate the scale. You may proceed immediately with the next step, but if
you want to compare the weight reading resulting from the
Change Equipment
procedure with the patient’s
weight reading before the procedure, let the weigh process display a weight reading and note the weight.
•
Press the
Change Equipment
button. The “
Change Equipment
” message will appear on the display four to
ten seconds later.
NOTE
: the scale will automatically shut off if this step takes more than three minutes.
The operation will then have to be started over.
•
Add or remove the equipment on the stretcher. Then, press the
Change Equipment
button. The unchanged
patient’s weight will reappear on the screen four to ten seconds later.
NOTE
To prevent erroneous weight readings, the “Adding or Removing Equipment with a Patient in the Stretcher” procedure
must be completed each
time an object is added or removed from the scale weighing zone.
G. CHANGING THE UNIT OF MEASUREMENT
•
Press the
Weigh/On
button to activate the scale. A weight reading will appear on the display four to ten
seconds later.
•
Press the
lb /kg
button to change from pounds (lb) to kilograms (kg) or conversely.
•
The
lb /kg
button can be deactivated to prevent inadvertent use of the button. To do so, press and hold
the
lb /kg
and
Memory
buttons for at least two seonds. Do the same to reactivate the lb /kg button.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
The electronic system of the scale is powered by four alkaline C type batteries (1.5 VDC). To replace them, refer to
Figure 9 and follow steps 1-4 below.
NOTE
The
icon will appear on the display to notify that the batteries must be
replaced.
1. Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, remove the 2 screws (A) holding the cover
(B) of the battery enclosure.
2. Remove the four batteries and replace them with four new alkaline C type
batteries (1.5 VDC). Ensure the batteries are installed with the proper polarity.
3. Replace the cover.
4. Zero the scale (see procedure A, previous page) without a patient in the
stretcher before returning it to service.
CAUTION
•
Use only 1.5 VDC alkaline batteries. The use of batteries other than the one
recommended may damage the scale electronic components.
•
Remove the batteries if the scale module or the stretcher is not used for long
periods.
