1. Congratulations!
In the seca 384/385 electronic baby scale
you have acquired a highly-accurate yet
simultaneously sturdy piece of equipment.
seca has been putting its experience at the
service of health for over 150 years now,
and as market leader in many countries of
the world, is always setting new standards
with its innovative developments for weigh-
ing and measuring.
The seca 384/385 electronic baby scale
is designed for use in a doctor’s surgery or
hospital. It serves both to establish birth
weight and to check weight gain during
the growth process.
The scale has Class III approval.
2. Safety
• Follow the instructions in the instruc-
tions for use.
• Keep the operating instructions and the
declaration of conformity in a safe
place.
• Never leave a baby lying on the scale
unsupervised.
• Ensure that the scale is standing firmly
on a smooth, level surface.
• Do not drop the scale or subject it to
violent shocks.
• Use only the type of battery stated (see
“Power supply” on page 14).
• Have scale serviced and re-calibrated
on a regular basis (see “Servicing/verifi-
cation” on page 19).
• Have repairs carried out only by author-
ised persons.
3. Before you start…
Power supply
The scale is powered by batteries. The LC display has a low power consumption – ap-
prox. 10,000 weighing operations can be performed with one set of batteries. If
or bAtt appear in the display, you should change the batteries. You need 6 1.5 V type
AA R6 round-cell batteries.
– Take off the tray and then turn the scale
over carefully so that the base is acces-
sible (see “Setting up the scale” on
page 15).

GB
– Open the battery compartment lid and
insert the batteries supplied according
to the polarity shown on the battery
compartment.
Check that polarity is correct!
– Now close the battery compartment
cover again carefully.
Setting up the scale
– Place the scale on a level and stable
surface. Then position the tray as
shown on the base of the scale and pull
forward until the tray is heard to snap
into place, and the release button is in
the top position.
The tray is now securely interlocked
with the base.
– Align the scale by undoing the foot
screws. The air bubble in the spirit level
must be right in the centre of the circle.
– Ensure that only the feet of the scale are
in contact with the floor. The scale may
not be in contact at any other point.
– To remove the tray just press the re-
lease button hard and slide back the
tray.
Important!
The alignment of the base of the scale
must be checked and corrected if nec-
essary every time the location of the
scale is changed.

4. Operation
Correct weighing
– Press the Start key with no load on the
scale.
SE(A, 88888 and 0.000 appear con-
secutively in the display. The scale is
then automatically set to zero and ready
for use.
–When weighing infants: Place the in-
fant on the tray, ensuring that the child
lies as still as possible.
Important!
The maximum additional weight is 10 kg
(model 384) / 20 kg (model 385) in weigh-
ing range 1 and 20 kg (model 384) / 50 kg
(model 385) in weighing range 2. The max-
imum weight which can be displayed is re-
duced by the weight of the objects already
placed on the scale.
–When weighing children able to
stand up: Remove the tray as de-
scribed (see “Setting up the scale” on
page 15).
Note:
Check the secure positioning of the base.
Place the child on the scale and make sure
he/she keeps still.
– Read the weighing result off the digital
display.
Note:
The scale must not be subjected to
weights exceeding the maximum load
specified!
– To switch off the scale, press the Start
key again.
Automatic switch-off/economy mode
The scale remains ready for weighing for approx. 20 seconds after being switched on.
Once weighing has been performed, the value is displayed for approx. 2 minutes until the
scale switches off automatically.

GB
Taring weight display (TARE)
The tare function is useful if an additional weight (such as cloths or a pad on the weighing
surface) are to be ignored in the weighing result. Proceed as follows:
– Place the additional weight on the scale
and activate the Tare function by de-
pressing and holding the HOLD/TARE
key.
The display of the scale is now reset to
“0” and a normal weighing operation
can begin.
– You can now perform as many weigh-
ing operations as you like with this addi-
tional weight.
– TARA is deactivated by pressing the
button HOLD/TARE once again, or by
switching the scales off.
Storing the weight value (HOLD)
You can also continue displaying the weight determined once the load has been removed.
This makes it possible to put the baby down safely again before noting the weight:
– Press the HOLD/TARE key whilst the
load is on the scale.
The display flashes until a stable weight
has been measured. The display is then
frozen.
The value remains saved in the display
until the scale switches off automatical-
ly.
– The HOLD function can be switched off
by pressing the HOLD/TARE key
again.
0.0 appears in the display if the scale
has no load on it, otherwise the current
weight. The “HOLD“ display vanishes.
Note:
The HOLD function can also be used if the TARE function has been executed
beforehand.

Use of differential display function
You can use this function for example to measure the intake of milk when breastfeeding
or have Baby's increase in weight displayed since being last weighed. This function (which
cannot be calibrated) can be used to store an individual weight value and then use that
value to form a difference - to detect the amount of milk ingested during breastfeeding,
for example, or to see how a particular baby’s weight has increased since it was last
weighed.
– To store the weight value, press the
STORE key for approx. 2 seconds after
the weighing operation is complete. The
ST0 indicator is faded in. The weight
value is now saved and will also remain
stored once the scale is switched off.
– With a subsequent weighing operation
it is then possible to switch the display
over to differential display, i.e. display of
current value less saved value, by briefly
pressing the STORE button.
When the differential display function is
activated, appears in the display.
– Briefly pressing the key again switches
the function off again.
Note:
If a new weight value is stored, the previous stored value will be overwritten.
If the differential display function is activated with no load on the scale, the stored value is
shown in the display as a negative value.
Switching the weighing range
The seca 384/385 has two weighing ranges which can be selected. Weighing range 1
has a reduced maximum capacity but greater display resolution, whilst weighing range 2
allows you to use the maximum load capacity of the scale. Depending on the application
in question, you decide whether you would prefer to use the fine display resolution or the
high load range.
– Switch on the scale at the Start key. The
scale initially operates in the weighing
range last selected.
– To change the weighing range, press
the key
Model 384/385 19
GB
– The symbol –>I1I<– or –>I2I<– in the
display indicates the weight range
which is active in each case. This re-
mains active even when the scale is
turned off.
Note:
It is possible to switch from Range 1 with fine graduations to Range 2 with coarse grad-
uations with a load on the scale unless the scale is switched to a special function (like pre-
Tare, for example). For technical reasons, it is only possible to switch from coarse Range
2 to fine Range 1 with no load on the scale. In this case too, no special function may be
activated.
5. Cleaning
Clean the tray and the outside of the scale with a damp cloth as required. Under no cir-
cumstances use abrasive or acid cleaners, white spirit, benzene or the like for cleaning.
6. What do I do if…
… no weight is displayed with a load on the scale?
– Check that the batteries are inserted correctly.
… the display shows ?
– Battery voltage is dropping. Charge the rechargeable batteries in the next few days.
… bAtt appears in the display?
– The rechargeable battery is so severely discharged that weighing is no longer possible.
Recharge the battery.
… St0p appears in the display?
– Maximum load has been exceeded. Remove the weight on the scale as quickly as
possible in order to avoid permanent damage to the scale.
7. Servicing/verification
Have the scale verificated by authorised persons in accordance with national legal
requirements. Verification is essential if one or more security marks are damaged.
We recommend having your scale serviced by your local service agent before having it
verificated. seca Customer Service will be pleased to give you further assistance.
