Preface
Thank you for choosing Faaborg Rehab Technic’s product. All
features of this product were designed to state of the art and are
optimized for simple and straightforward use. If you have any
queries or experience any problems not addressed in the operating
instructions, please contact your Faaborg Rehab Technic’s service
partner, or visit us on the Internet at www.faaborg-rehab.dk
General Information
We strongly recommend you use the scales on flat and hard
surface. Any soft surface, like carpet will cause inaccuracy.
Safety Instruktions
Before putting the device into use, please read with care
the information given in the Operating Instructions. They
contain important instructions for installation, proper use and
maintenance of the device.
The manufacturer shall not be liable for damages arising out of
failure to heed the following instructions:
These batteries should be kept away from small children. If swallowed,
promptly seek medical assistance.
Expected Service Life: 5 years
When using electrical components under increased safety
requirements, always comply with the appropriate regulations.
Improper installation will render the warranty null and void.
Ensure the voltage marked on the power supply unit matches
your mains power supply.
This device is designed for use indoors.
Observe the permissible ambient temperatures for use
The device meets the requirements for electromagnetic
compatibility. Do not exceed the maximum values specified in the

- -

applicable standards.
If you have any problem, contact your local CHARDER MEDICAL service
partner.
Environmental
All batteries contain toxic compounds; disposal of batteries
should be delegated to a competent organisation, complying
with the deposit of Poisonous Waste Regulation 1972.
Please do not incinerate batteries.
The optimum operating temperature for the scale is 5℃ to +35
℃; although it will operate at higher and lower temperatures the
scales battery life will be adversely effected.
Cleaning
We would recommend using alcohol based wipes or
similar when cleaning the scales.
Please do not use large amounts of water when cleaning
the scales as this will cause damage to the scales electronics,
you should also refrain from using corrosive liquids or high
pressure washers.
Always disconnect the scales from the mains power
supply before cleaning.
Maintenance
The scale does not require any routine maintenance.
However, we recommend checking the scale’s accuracy at
regular intervals. The regularity of these checks is dependent on
the level of use and the state of the scale. If any inaccuracies
occur, please contact your local dealer or Faaborg Rehab’s
service partner.

Weighing Operation
Before reading detailed instructions on how to use all the weighing
functions that are built into your scale, please read the following
important guidelines:
Always be sure that the display shows `Zero` before use, if it
does not then please press the ZERO key.
The device is designed to detect when a stable weight is
achieved, the indicator will `bleep` twice to indicate a stable weight
value, your reading should be taken at this point.
Warranty-Liability
If a fault or defect is present on receipt of the unit which is
within Faaborg Rehab’s scope of responsibility, Faaborg Rehab
shall have the right to either repair the fault or supply a replacement
unit. Replaced parts shall be the property of Faaborg Rehab.
Should the fault repairs or replacement delivery not be successful,
the statutory provisions shall be valid. The period of warranty shall
be two years, beginning on the date of purchase. Please retain your
receipt as proof of purchase. Should your scale require servicing,
please contact your dealer or Faaborg Rehab’s Customer Service.
No responsibility shall be accepted for damage caused
through any of the following reasons: Unsuitable or improper
storage or use, incorrect installation or commissioning by the owner
or third parties, natural wear, changes or modifications, incorrect or
negligent handling, overuse, chemical, electrochemical or electrical
interference or humidity, unless this is attributable to negligence on
the part of Faaborg Rehab.
If operating, climatic or any other influences lead to a major
change in conditions or material quality, the treaty for perfect unit

functioning shall be rendered null and void. If CHARDER provides
and individual warranty, this means that the unit supplied will be
free of faults for the length of the warranty period.
Disposing of the Scale
This product is not to be treated as regular household waste,
but should be handed into an electrical/electronic equipment
recycling centre.
You can obtain further details from your local council, your
municipal waste disposal company or the firm which you purchased
the product.

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:
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 MEDICAL SCALE MS6000
is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the MEDICAL
SCALE MS6000 should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal
performance is observed, additional measures my be necessary, such as re-
orienting or relocating the MEDICAL SCALE MS6000.
b Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be les than
3 V/m.

Recommended separation distance between portable and mobile RF
communications equipment and the MEDICAL SCALE
The MEDICAL SCALE MS6000 is intended for use in an electromagnetic
environment in which radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer
or the user of the MEDICAL SCALE MS6000 can help prevent electromagnetic
interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile
RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the MEDICAL SCALE
MS6000 as recommended below, according to the maximum output power of
the communications equipment.

Preparation for Measurements
1. Hold the handle of weigh bridge
2. Place weigh bridges under bed next to the bed casters.
3. Installing weigh bridges and power on the scale before pushing
the bed on it. Please refer to installing instruction.
4. Set the unit on a stable, level surface. When the bubble
indicator is in the centre of the circle, MS6000 is leveled
correctly.
Bubble indicator: Good Wrong
All four feet must touch the surface to make sure that MS6000
does not rock.

5. Push bed forward and move to the weigh bridges after
assembly and power on the scale.
We strongly recommend two people to operate the procedure.
Before moving bed on the weigh bridge, please turn on the
scale!!
You must make sure that the connecting cable is not caught
under the measuring foot, otherwise faulty measurements
may result.
6. Four bed casters are now placed well on weigh bridges.
