Lake Weighing Systems voids the warranty.
To avoid cross contamination, the scale should be cleaned regularly.
Avoid contact with excessive moisture.
Do not allow minors (children) or inexperienced persons to operate this scale.
Do not jump up and down on the scale.
Do not use in the presence of flammable materials.
Use the scale only to determine weight of people while standing.
Do not make alterations or modifications to the scale.
People with disabilities, or who are physically frail, should always be assisted by another person when using this scale.

The front panel key display are very sensitive so only a gentle pushing motion is required to obtain results.
Key Name Function
On/Off Powers the scale on or off
Print
LB/KG
Sends data out from the RS-232 port; Allows to toggle between kilograms and pounds providing that it is
enabled in Configuration mode; Cannot toggle while in the BMI mode
Zero Clears the weight off the scale and returns it to zero after three seconds; Only functions if the current weight
is stable and zero, up to 2% of max weight
Hold Release Displays most current weight value on the display; a second press releases the weight value; Not active
while in BMI mode
BMI Enables access to the BMI (Body Mass Index) function; only works if there is a locked weight on the display
and the BMI function is turned on in the Configuration mode
TARE Used to subtract the weight off the scale, example: oxygen tank, other equipment
CLEAR Returns to normal weighing when the BMI value is being displayed; While in BMI mode, the height display
causes the value to return to the default of 190.0 cm, 5', 7.5''
ENTER Used to accept height in BMI mode; Accepts the value of the parameter last entered and moves to the next
stage; press during scale start up to enter ID display (pre-parameter mode)
Up Arrows Adjusts height input (0.5''/0.5 cm) while in BMI mode; Adjusts the value of the flashing digit/number
Down Arrows Adjusts height input (0.5''/0.5 cm) while in BMI mode; Adjusts the value of the flashing digit/number
