Power Supply & Low Battery
The indicator uses power from 6x AA batteries, or can be powered from the mains via the adaptor.
Make sure the batteries are installed in the battery box of the indicator. Alternatively, plug the adaptor
(12V 1A) into the port on the side of the scale.
Installing Batteries
Remove the battery cover.
Remove the battery case and insert
batteries, ensuring they are properly
installed.
Install the battery housing.
Refit the battery cover.

Operation: Basic Functions
Switching on the Scale
Press the ON/ZERO/OFF button firmly.
When the scale shows 0.0 on the display
you are ready to start weighing.
Switching off the Scale
Hold the ON/ZERO/OFF button for three
seconds when the scale is turned on. The
scale will power down.
Page 7

Setting the Scale to Zero
If the display shows a reading other than
0.0 when nothing is on the scale, it can be
reset to zero.
Press ON/ZERO/OFF once.
The scale will return to 0.0.
Page 8

Operation: Advanced Functions
Hold Function
Press the HOLD/BMI button once, either
whilst the patient is stood on the scale or
before they step onto the scale.
After a few seconds the scale will lock on
the person’s weight. When the patient
leaves the scale, the weight will remain on
the display.
Press HOLD/BMI again to disable the Hold
function and return the scale to 0.0.
Note: If the weight reading remains on the display for more than five minutes, the Hold
function will automatically disable and the display will return to 0.0. If another patient
steps on the scale whilst a held weight reading is being displayed, the Hold function
will be disabled.
Page 9

Body Mass Index (BMI) Function
The patient should first stand on the scale.
Hold down the HOLD/BMI button to enter
BMI mode. The scale will enter height
setting mode and the extreme left digit
will flash.
Enter the height by using the TARE/BSA
button to decrease the value and
HOLD/BMI button to increase the value. To
move to the next digit, press SEND.
To confirm the height hold down the
ON/ZERO/OFF button, after a few seconds
the display will alternate between weight,
height and BMI.
To exit BMI mode and return to normal
weighing mode, hold down the HOLD/BMI
button.
Page 10

Body Surface Area (BSA)
After calculating BMI, you can then
calculate BSA. After going through the
first four steps on the previous page
steps to calculate BMI, press TARE/BSA
and Body Surface Area will be
displayed.
Tare Function
Place the item/s you wish to deduct
from the reading (such as a pair of
shoes) on the scale and press
TARE/BSA.
Remove the item/s, and the scale will
show a minus reading.
Weigh the patient as normal and the
negative weight reading will be
deducted from the total weight.

Portable and mobile RF
communications equipment should be
used no closer to any part of the M-
545 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:
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.
b Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be les than 3 V/m.

For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the recommended separation distance d
in meters (m) can be estimated using the equation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter, where p is
the maximum output rating of the transmitter in watts (w) according to the transmitter manufacturer.
NOTE1) At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the separation distance for the high frequency range applies.
NOTE2) These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by

Error Messages
Low Battery
The scale’s AA type batteries are flat; please
replace the batteries.
Overload
This indicates that the scale’s load sensor(s)
have been overloaded. Reduce the loading
and retry.
Counting Error
1. The signal from the load cells is too
high or too low. Please remove any
weight from the scale, switch the
scale off and power on again. If the
scale continues to show this message,
it indicates a fault with the electronics
or wiring.
High/Low Zero Count
1. The scale is above its zero range.
Please remove any weight from the
scale and power on again. If the scale
continues to show the error message,
it indicates a fault with the
electronics.
2. The scale is below its zero range.
Check there is nothing jammed
underneath the scale and power on
again. If the scale continues to show
the error message, it indicates a fault
with the electronics.
AD Error
This indicates there is a fault with the scale’s
software and is normally caused by a fault
with the PC board. Contact your local
service representative.
Negative weighing
The weight reading is below -2kg. Press
ZERO to return to 0.0.
