Product Description
Scale
The Honeywell HomMed scale is available in regular (Wired) and Bluetooth (Wireless) versions. The scale has a capacity of 500 lb (227 kg) and
collects weight using four load cells, one in each corner of the scale. The accuracy of the weight is +/- 0.5 lb (0.2kg). The Genesis DM supplies power
and communication to the scale through the scale cord, or the scale can operate in a battery powered mode.
OTE: Bluetooth is a proprietary, open wireless method for exchanging data within relatively short distances using radio signals. For more
information, see http://www.bluetooth.com.
Gravity Adjustment: The scale is adjusted for gravity in the location to which HomMed is shipping it. Any relocation to a different gravity zone
requires re-verification by HomMed. Any damage or recalibration may also require re-verification. The following table identifies distinguishing
features of each scale. The Bluetooth scale does N T have adjustable feet.
The Honeywell HomMed scale is not a stand-alone device. The scale must be connected to a Honeywell HomMed
monitor to operate.
Step-by-Step Instructions covered in this guide are:
• Installing the Honeywell HomMed Bluetooth adapter
• Connecting one wireless scale
• Connecting when multiple wireless scales are in the area.
• Using the Scale during a Scheduled Reading
• Troubleshooting

Connecting a HomMed Bluetooth (wireless) Scale
These instructions cover preparing the DM Monitor to use a Bluetooth adapter and wireless Honeywell HomMed Bluetooth Scale. Three
basic actions are involved:
1. Installing the Honeywell HomMed Bluetooth adapter.
2. Connecting one wireless scale.
3. Connecting when multiple wireless scales are in the area.
The DM Monitor must be configured to use a Bluetooth wireless scale. After completing the configuration process, the Scale is ready for
use. The configuration process would only need to be repeated if the monitor will be used with a different wireless scale or if the monitor
will be used with the regular “wired” scale.
Installing the Honeywell HomMed Bluetooth adapter
The wireless scale kit includes a Bluetooth Adapter and an Adapter Cable. If needed, securely connect the Adapter Cable to the
Bluetooth Adapter, (Note: they should arrive already connected together in the monitor kit). For the Bluetooth Adapter, assure that the
slide switch on the top of the Adapter is positioned toward the Connector end of the adapter to enable proper transmission and data flow between
the wireless scale and the DM Monitor.

P4607EN.01 12/2010 5
What is the slide switch?
The slide switch is part of the adapter. The slide switch allows different positions to be selected for different adapter functionality. The slide switch is
not an N / FF switch; therefore, the slide switch is not a “power” switch, but must be in the proper position in order to enable proper
transmission and data flow between the wireless scale and the DM Monitor.
With the DM monitor power FF, plug the Adapter Cable into the Scale port at the back of the monitor, or the wireless scale will not be
sensed properly. The adapter is equipped
The adapter is equipped with light emitting diodes (LEDs) to indicate various conditions:
•
••
• Blue Blinking = Scanning for / communicating with Bluetooth devices
•
••
• Solid Blue = Adapter has connected to scale
•
••
• Solid Red = Power n Light

After connecting the Bluetooth Adapter and Adapter Cable to the DM Monitor and making sure that the slide switch is toward the
connector end, power N the DM Monitor. When prompted, enter the Setup Wizard by pressing YES.
Connecting One Wireless Scale:
The monitor will direct the user to place the Scale in its final position and the display will indicate this, along with the request to press (Yes)
to continue.
Power up the scale (using either batteries or the AC power adapter supplied), and place the scale in a position convenient for the patient.
Press YES to allow the monitor to detect the scale.
OTE: The scale should be less than 30 feet (10 meters) from the monitor for signal acquisition. The reason that the scale should be less
than 30 feet (10 meters) from the monitor is that the signal between the two devices only works within such relatively short distances. If

the scale and monitor are too far apart, or if items or personnel are blocking the signal, then the scale and monitor will not be able to
connect and communicate with one another as needed for proper functionality.
The monitor will display the “Please Wait Scanning Devices” message as it scans for suitable Bluetooth devices in the nearby vicinity. The
DM Monitor locates, senses, and pairs with a single scale automatically.
OTE: Establishing communications may take several minutes.
The Bluetooth adapter activity light emitting diodes will flash blue and red. When the blue diode is flashing, the Bluetooth devices in the
vicinity are being scanned, sensed, and connected to the DM Monitor. The blue LED is the Number ne LED. The red LED should be N,
indicating that the adapter is powered by the monitor. Check the DM Monitor-to-Bluetooth adapter connection if the red LED is not N.

When a single scale is detected and paired with the monitor, the monitor will display the Pairing Successful message. If there is only one
scale in the vicinity, that scale will be the one that the monitor will pair with.
If the monitor is unable to detect the scale, it will display the “Pairing Failed” message.
If the pairing failed, check to make sure that the scale has power and that the adapter is properly connected to the monitor and that the
Bluetooth adapter red LED is N. Also, verify that the scale is located close enough to the monitor, and less than 10 meters or about 30
feet away.
After a failed attempt to detect a wireless scale, the DM Monitor screen will ask if you desire a scan for available Bluetooth devices. After
verifying that the scale has power and is the appropriate distance from the monitor, press YES to retry.

Troubleshooting:
If communication cannot be established, the monitor will display one of the following error messages; Error Code E203, E204 or E205,
Scale Disconnected:
E203 error code: The Bluetooth Adapter is not plugged in properly to the back of the monitor.
Solution: Check the connection on the rear panel and retry.
E204 error code: Bluetooth Adapter is not paired to the scale.
Solution: Check the Bluetooth Adapter. Make sure that the Bluetooth Adapter is powered N and that it is properly connected to the
Adapter Cable, and that the Adapter Cable is properly connected to the DM Monitor at the Scale port on the rear panel of the DM
Monitor. Retry.

P4607EN.01 12/2010 17
E205 error code: No Bluetooth connection because the scale is not powered, the scale batteries are absent, improperly installed, or
need replacement, or the scale is too far away from the monitor.
Solution: To correct the error, check that there is power to the scale, or that it is located within range of the monitor (approximately
10 meters, or 30 feet). Reschedule another vitals collection to retry.
Changing batteries (if applicable)
To change the batteries, turn the scale over. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the screw retaining the battery access panel to the scale.
bserve the orientation of the four AA batteries inside the scale. Remove the batteries and replace with four new AA batteries for best
results.
OTE: The DM Monitor MUST BE RESTARTED after changing the batteries. This is because the Bluetooth wireless scale is not
configured to give a zero weight reading (“zeroed”) on power up. The scale is only zeroed during monitor startup when the monitor does
the scale self test. This is unique to the Bluetooth wireless scale – including when the AC adapter is being used. For other scales, the DM
Monitor will automatically zero the scale on scale power up.
Zeroing the scale
After changing batteries on the Bluetooth wireless scale, return the scale to its normal position and assure that there are no items on the
scale. Re-start the DM Monitor. The monitor will conduct a scale self-test and zero the scale for optimal accuracy of weight readings. Check
the zeroing to assure that zero “0” appears on the monitor display.
