CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS
To prevent injury and damage to your scale, please follow these instructions very carefully:
•Do not transport the scale while platform is loaded. Be sure the scale is tilted enough to assure it is rolling properly on its
wheels when it is moved for cleaning or transported from one area to another.
•For accurate weighing the scale must be placed on a flat, stable surface.
•For accurate weighing, verify proper operation according to the procedure described in this manual before each use.
•Do not use in the presence of flammable materials.
•Operating at other voltages and frequencies than specified could damage the equipment.
•If the “LOW BAT” indicator activates, for accurate weighing replace the batteries or connect the scale to an AC power source
as soon as possible.
•Only authorized, qualified personnel shall service the scale.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the EMC limits for the Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC (EN
55011 Class A and EN 60601-1-2). These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in
a typical medical installation. The equipment generates, uses and may radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with these instructions, may cause harmful interference to other devices in the vicinity. However, there is
no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference with
other devices, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to eliminate the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
•Reorient or relocate the receiving device.
•Increase the separation between the equipment.
•Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the other device(s) is connected.
•Consult Customer Service or a field service technician for help.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING 500KLWA
Before first use and after periods of non-use, check the scale for proper operation.
Disconnect the scale from the power source, if plugged in.
1. This scale contains electronic parts. Use it carefully. Do not drop, kick or jump on it.
2. Do not store near chemicals, heaters or radiators.
3. Do not store scale on its side.
4. To clean the scale, wipe the outside of the scale with a soft cloth and mild detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners. Do not use
isopropyl alcohol, other solutions or sanitizing wipes to clean the display surface.
5. Never place the scale in the water. Do not spray it with liquid.
6. This scale is an extremely sensitive weighing device. Items such as clothing or towels placed or dropped on the scale may cause it
to activate. In order to prevent run down of the battery, do not store or leave anything on the scale.
CALIBRATION
This scale has been factory calibrated and does not require calibration prior to use.
For maintenance, the calibration procedure may be performed using a known weight in either kilograms or
pounds. Simply set the scale for the desired unit of measure using the LB/KG button and start the calibration
procedure. The calibration is performed using kg or lb, according to the unit of measure used upon entering into
the calibration path, meaning the scale will default to either kg or lb, if that was the setting left on the scale for
weighing.
Note: Calibration weight must be no less than 40 kg (100 lb) and no more than 200 kg (500 lb).
