should be used no closer to any
part of the device including
cables, than the recommended
separation distance calculated
from the equation applicable to
the frequency of the
transmitter.
Recommended separation
distance:
d = 1,2 √P
d = 1,2 √P 80MHz to 800 MHz
d = 2,3 √P 800MHz to 2,5 GHz
Where P is the maximum output
power rating of the transmitter
in watts (W) according to the
transmitter manufacturer and d
is the recommended separation
distance in metres (m).
Field strengths from fixed RF
transmitters, as determined by
an electromagnetic site surveya,
should be less than the
compliance level in each
frequency rangeb.
Interference may occur in the
vicinity of equipment marked
with the following symbol:

11
NOTE1 At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE2 These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is
affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.
a Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless)
telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV
broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic
environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be
considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the device is used
exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the device should be observed to
verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may
be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the device.
b Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.
Recommended separation distance between portable and mobile RF
communications equipment and the MS2400 Infant Scale
The device is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF
disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the device can help prevent
electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and
mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the device as recommended
below, according to the maximum output power of the communications equipment.

For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the recommended
separation distance d in metres (m) can be estimated using the equation applicable to the
frequency of the transmitter, where p is the maximum output power rating of the
transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer.

applies.

16
IV. Using Device
A. Basic Operation
Switch on the device using [ON/ZERO/OFF] key. The device will
automatically perform self-calibration, displaying software version.
Once "0.00 kg" appears on indicator, device is ready for measurement.
Note: If "0.00 kg" does not display on indicator, press [ZERO] key to
zero the device. This function can be used for weight within ±2% of full
capacity.
Carefully place subject upon the measurement platform. After the weight
has stabilized, the "stable" symbol will appear on indicator.
Note: If subject's weight exceeds scale capacity (including tare),
indicator will display "Err" prompt due to overload.
B. Tare
The tare function allows the user to deduct the weight of objects from the
device's measurement result. Tare can be used when weight of object is ≧
400g (at/above 2% of full 20 kg capacity).
1. Place object that needs to be tared onto measurement platform.
2. Press [TARE] key after stable symbol appears on indicator. Display will
indicate "0.00 kg".
3. Place subject (plus tared object) to be weighed upon measurement
platform. Conduct measurement.
4. To clear tare value, remove all objects from measurement platform,
and press [TARE] key.
C. Recall
Weight value can be stored (>1 kg) and recalled. If weight on platform is
greater than 1 kg, press [RECALL] key to store weight value. If weight on
platform is less than 1 kg, press [RECALL] key to recall stored weight
value.
To return to normal weighing mode, press [ON/ZERO/OFF] key

17
V. Device Setup
When the device is switched on, press and hold the [TARE] key until the
display shows "SET" followed by "A.OFF” (first option in setting menu).
In device setup menu:
