Weighing

To take the weight

- Press key ON to start the scale. `8888´will appear on the display which is an automatic
function test and zero setting. When `0.0´appears you are in the kg weighing mode. In addition
display will show the symbol `o´ to confirm stability of the zero setting.
- The scale may now be used.
- Step on the platform and stand still.
- After display is showing your weight and symbol `o´ appeared the most accurate result has
been reached.
- To turn off the scale press key OFF for minimum 3 seconds. This is essential if scale is used
on batteries. Using the scale on mains it may remain permanently switched on or can be shut
off manually by pressing key.

Change unit function

switched to kg mode. To change into lb mode press UNIT/WEIGHT key.

 Tare function

The tare function (also known as mother & child function) allows to store a fixed weight that will be
deducted each weighing procedure unless deleted or replaced by another.
- Take weight as described before and store the result by pressing the TARE key.
- The scale is now in NET weighing mode which is also indicated on the display.
- If for example you stored the weight of the mother or nurse, she can step now on the scale
with the baby in her arms.
- The weight displayed is the weight of the baby.
- The scale identified the added weight. You may now use the scale for as many weighing
procedures and the stored value will always be deducted.

Definition and use of BMI (Body Mass Index)

The Body Mass Index is the ratio between height and weight squared. The BMI is meanwhile
accepted world wide – also by WHO (World Health Organization) - helping to evaluate the state of
nutrition and with that also the state of health of a person. The result is a tolerance value.
- Press the ON/ZERO/OFF key to start the scale and wait until the display shows 0.0.
- Step on the scale and take your weight.
- Press the HOLD/BMI key for at least 3 seconds.
- By doing that you selected the storage mode for your own height in cm. You will also find the
word `HIGH´ on the display.
- Once entered the mode you find a given value that you will probably have to change.
- The first digit (normally a 1) is blinking. Change indication if necessary by pressing the
UNIT/WEIGHT key by using the numeric key stored (0-9).
- Press the HOLD/BMI key again and you will get to the next digit.
- Repeat the procedure until your exact height is shown on the display.
- Press TARE key for confirmation and you will get back into the normal weighing mode.
- Press again HOLD/BMI key shortly like you do when activating the HOLD function. The arrow
will appear in the display for a short moment and disappear when the display is showing you
instead your weight and alternating your BMI.
- To deactivate the BMI mode press again HOLD/BMI key.

Evaluation of the Body Mass Index

BMI below 18
• The patient is not showing enough weight. Control nutrition to put on weight.
BMI between 18 and 20
• The patient is slightly under weighed. If he feels well there is no need for a change.
BMI between 20 and 25
• The patient is in the range of normal weight.
BMI between 25 and 30
• The patient is slightly overweighed. A reduction of weight is indicated or, is necessary if the
state of health is already affected (e.g. diabetes, high end blood pressure, heart diseases).
BMI over 30
• Reduction of weight is imperative. Also to visit a doctor is highly recommended.

 HOLD function

By using the HOLD function the identified weight might be stored and is shown on the display even if
you stepped already off the scale. The advantage is to take care of the patient first and then take note
of the weight.
- Press HOLD/BMI key while scale is under load.
- The display shows a blinking arrow symbol next to the HOLD symbol.
- Once the scale is loaded with more than 3 kg the blinking stops.
- The weight displayed will now also show after unloading of the platform.
- To deactivate the Hold function press again HOLD/BMI key.
