Setup Instructions
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the scale from its packaging. Inspect for any damage. Retain packaging for future storage or transport.
- Battery Installation:
- Locate the battery compartment on the underside of the scale.
- Open the compartment cover.
- Insert the required batteries (typically AAA or AA, refer to the compartment label) ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
- Close the battery compartment cover securely.
- Placement: Place the scale on a hard, flat, and stable surface. Uneven or soft surfaces (like carpet) can affect accuracy. No special carpet feet are required for this model.
- Initial Calibration: For the first use or after moving the scale, step onto the scale briefly, then step off. The display should show "0.0" or similar, indicating it has calibrated.
Operating Instructions
- Power On: The scale typically powers on automatically when weight is applied.
- Taking a Measurement:
- Ensure the scale is on a flat, stable surface and displays "0.0".
- Step onto the center of the scale with bare feet for best contact. Stand still.
- The display will show your weight. The measurement will remain displayed for 20 seconds after you step off, allowing time to stabilize or assist a patient.
- Unit Selection (lbs/kg):
- Locate the unit switch or button, usually on the underside or side of the scale.
- Toggle the switch or press the button to select between pounds (lbs) and kilograms (kg).
- Using the Talking Feature:
- This scale announces weight measurements in English or Spanish.
- The language selection switch is typically located near the unit selection switch. Adjust as needed.
- Ensure the volume is set to an audible level, if adjustable.
- Power Off: The scale will automatically power off after a period of inactivity to conserve battery life.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the scale surface with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the scale in water.
- Storage: Store the scale in a cool, dry place. Avoid extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.
- Battery Replacement: Replace batteries when the low battery indicator appears on the display (e.g., "Lo"). Always replace all batteries at the same time with new ones of the same type.
- Avoid Impact: Do not drop the scale or subject it to heavy impact, as this can damage the internal components.
