Controls and Signals
Display/Control Unit
1 . “Display On/Off” Button—Turns display (only) off
between weighings, if desired. Note: When display is
turned off, scale remembers all previous data, including
cancelled weight of bedding.
2. “Zero” Button—Has two functions:
1 1
rc
Lt
IbLE
4. “ Gms/Lbs” Button—Changes units between grams and
pounds-ounces. Ounces are shown to nearest one-tehth.
(Example: 2 4.2 equals 2 pounds, 4.2 ounces.) Indicator
lights on display tell whether grams or pounds are being
measured.
1. Cancels out all weight on platform (mattress, bedding,
etc.) and causes display to read “0!’ Always press "Zero”
button after changing bedding and before placing baby
on scale. If baby is already on scale, lift baby and then
press “Zero" button while holding him.
2. Pressing "Zero” button also causes scale to find its zero
reference point to assure accurate measurements. When
"Zero” button is pressed, moving dashes will appear on
the display for a few moments. Wait until the dashes stop
and a “0” appears before touching the scale.
3. “ Lock-Average" Button—Locks the average weight
computed by the microprocessor during the last 4
seconds, on the display. Press button again to unlock
display. Leave button “locked” to retain last weight
measurement if desired.
5. Minimum Displayed Weight—Scale will not display a
weight of less than 15 grams.
6. “Read Light’!—Comes on when “Lock Average" button is
pressed, to indicate that weight is locked on display.
7. “Overload” Light—Will flash if weight on scale exceeds
maximum capacity of 10,000 grams (22 pounds).
8. Dashes—Flash for few seconds during warm-up when
scale is connected to power. Dashes also appear
momentarily after “Zero” button is pressed.
9. “Cable”—Appears as reminder if cable between
Display/Control Unit and weighing platform has not been
connected.

Warm-Up
The scale is always on when it is connected to an eiectrical
outlet. When first connected to an electrical outlet, a series of
dashes will flash for a few seconds on the display to indicate
the scaie is warming up. When dashes have been replaced by
numbers, the scale is ready for use.
To Cancel Weight of Bedding—
After the bed is made OR whenever the bed linen is changed,
foilow these steps;
• Press “Display On/Off” button to tu(fl on display.
• If display is locked (“Read" light on), press "Lock" button
to unlock.
• After changing bed linen, make sure that the bedding is
touching only the mattress and scale platform (fig. 4-2).
• Make sure there are no extra objects on the scale (teddy
bears, etc.).
• Before placing baby on scale, press “Zero" button. This
cancels all weight on scale. The display will momentarily
show a series of moving dashes. Do not touch the scale
until a “0" appears on the display. (If baby is already on
scale, lift him off platform and press “Zero" while holding
him.)

To Weigh Baby
• Press “Display On/Off" button to turn on display.
• If display is locked (“Read" light on), press “Lock" button
to unlock.
• Remove all loose objects from mattress and scale platform
(teddy bears, scissors, etc.)
• Press "Gms/Lbs" button to select weight units.
• Lift IV tubes, monitors, leads, etc., and hold as steady as
possible. (See next page for suggestions on lifting
technique.)
• Take weight measurement—using either of following
methods:
1. Mental Average— Watch weight on display a few
seconds, then select your best “mental average"
weight. If you desire to verify the weight, take second
"average!' Then lay tubes and leads down and chart
weight.
2. Use “Lock-Average" Button— While you are holding
the tubas and leads, have another nurse push the
"LocknAverage" button. The best average weight,
computed by the microprocessor during the last 4
seconds, will be locked on the display. Lay tubes and
leads down and then chart weight. '

• Place baby in center of scale mattress.
• Proceed with weighing. (See next section.)
NOTE: Negative Weight If negative weight numbers appear
on the display (example: -150 gms) it indicates that some
weight has been removed from the platform after the “Zero"
button was pressed. Before placing baby on scale, press
“Zero” and display will return to “0!'
NOTE: Minimum Displayed Weight. Scale will not display a
weight of less than 15 grams.
Display On/Off
tl
Display can be turned off between weighings, if desired, by
pressing "Display On/Off’ button. The scale remains on even
when the display is off, so it does not require a further warm¬
up period.
Memory Feature
Smart Scale has a memory that retains all previous data when
the display is turned off or even if electrical power is
disconnnected. If the weight of the bed linen was previously
cancelled out (by the “Zero" button). It will remain cancelled
when the display is turned on again, and weighing can be
resumed.
To Retain Last Weight Reading
The last weight reading can be locked on the display by
pressing the “Lock-Average” button. This weight will be
retained as long as the display is locked and even while the
display is turned off.

Lifting IV Tubes and Monitor Leads
Make sure
tubes are not
touching platform
Fig. 4-3
For the most accurate, repeatable weight measurement when
holding up IV tubes and monitor leads, follow this technique:
1. Before lifting the tubes and leads, note the total weight
displayed on the scale. Usually, lifting the tubes and leads
will reduce this weight from 25 to 50 grams.
2. Pick up the tubes and leads approximately 10" from where
they are attached to the baby.
3. Do not hold the tubes and leads tightly. Let them rest in the
open palms of your hands while lifting.
4. Gently raise your hands to the point where the tubes and
leads are just lifted off the baby’s body—but no higher.
Lifting higher than is necessary can cause greater
deviations in weight measurement.
5. Before faking weight reading, make sure that no tubes or
leads are accidentally touching the scale platform.
VENTILATOR VIBRATION ON RADIANT WAR¬
MER BED WHILE ZEROING SCALE
When using ventilator on baby, prior to pushing zero, ventilator
tubes should be lifted clear (Fig. 4-4) and not allowed to touch
any part of radiant warmer. Once zero appears on readout,
ventilator tubes may be returned to normal position.
