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 MS4400I 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.
NOTE1 At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the separation distance for 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.

II. Installation
Device does not require assembly, and can be used once batteries have
been inserted, and S-hook and sling are attached.
Inserting Batteries
1. Locate battery cover on bottom of device. Open cover, and remove
battery case from device.
(Fig. 1: battery cover location) (Fig 2. Empty battery case)
2. Insert batteries. Ensure polarity is correct.
3. Insert battery case into device and close
battery cover. Turn on device to test if batteries
are installed correctly.

13
III. Key Functions and Indicator
Key Functions
1. ON/OFF/ZERO: Turn device on and off. Zero scale (±2% of full
capacity). Press and hold to turn off device.
2. HOLD: Determine stable weighing value - should be used when weight
is unstable.
3. TARE: Deduct weight from reading after measurement
Indicator
1. Stable indicator: indicates that reading is stable
2. Net weight: indicates current reading is net weight
3. Zero indicator: indicates that device is at zero weight
4. Low battery: displays remaining battery life
5. Hold: indicates if Hold function is activated
6. Unit (kg / g / lb): unit of current reading. (lb unavailable on OIML
approved models)

IV. Getting Started
Inspection before use
1. Confirm hook and sling are in good condition and undamaged
2. Clear and remove any sharp objects in area to ensure safety of infant
3. We recommend placing a cushion under the sling before weighing for
comfort and safety

15
V. Using Device
A. Correct usage
1. Lay sling upon table and spread
out evenly
2. Carefully place infant upon sling
3. Hook S-hook onto device
4. Hook s-hook onto sling. S-hook should now be hooked to both device
and sling.
5. Switch on the device using [ON/OFF/ZERO] 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 [ON/OFF/ZERO]
key to zero the device. This function can be used for weight within ±2% of
full capacity.

16
6. Carefully lift device with both hands until baby no longer touches table.
After weight has stabilized, the reading on the indicator will flash. This
means the result has been locked. Device should be carefully lowered
until infant is safely placed back upon table.
Note: If infant's weight exceeds scale capacity (including tare), indicator
will display "Err" prompt due to overload.

17
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 ≧
at/above 2% of max capacity.
1. Place object that needs to be tared onto sling. Lift sling from ground
until weight is displayed on indicator.
2. Press [TARE] key. Display will indicate "0.00 kg".
3. Carefully place infant upon sling (along with tared object). Conduct
measurement.
4. To clear tare value, remove all objects from sling, and press [TARE]
key.
C. Hold
The hold function determines average weight, designed to be used if
subject's weight will not stabilize (ex: an active infant).
Note: if fluctuation is too severe, average weight determination will be
difficult and hold may not function correctly
1. Switch on the device normally.
2. Press the [HOLD] key. "HOLD" will be displayed on the indicator.
3. Carefully place infant on sling. Lift sling from ground.
4. After a few seconds, the average weight will be displayed on the
indicator. This weight will be locked - at this point, infant can be removed
from sling.
5. To release the locked weight, press the [HOLD] key again to return to
the device to normal mode.
Note: Hold function can be activated before or after infant is placed on
sling and lifted. However, if infant finds it difficult to hold still, we
recommend activating Hold after infant is placed on sling and lifted.

18
D. Incorrect usage examples
Using device with one hand
Thumbs not properly supporting device weight. Thumbs should be
wrapped around "neck" of device.

19
VI. Wireless Connection
If the device has the wireless or bluetooth module installed, the indicator
can transmit measurement results wirelessly. Please see Charder
wireless or bluetooth software instructions for details.
