BUTTON FUNCTIONS
ZERO/WEIGH
The “ZERO/WEIGH” button is used to zero the system before placing a
patient onto the scale system. Ensure that nothing is in contact with the
weighing surface during this procedure. The display will read “0.0 KG”. The
button also wakes up the display and shows the patient’s weight if it should
Auto Power Down before the weighing process is done.
HOLD/RECALL
The “HOLD/RECALL” button freezes the displayed weight and stores it
away in memory. Press “HOLD/RECALL” to store the weight into memory.
To recall last weight reading, press “HOLD/RECALL”button once scale has
shut down.

BASIC SYSTEM OPERATION
SETTING SYSTEM ZERO
Make sure the scale is free and clear of any obstructions. Press and hold the
“ZERO/WEIGH” button to zero the system. In a few seconds, the display will
read “0.0 KG”. It is recommended that the system be zeroed prior to each new
patient.
After the scale has been set to zero, position the patient on the scale. Display will indicate the
patient’s weight in kilograms.
In this default mode, the weighing surface remains active. If scale shuts down, press the
“ZERO/WEIGH” button once to wake display and take reading.
HOLD/RECALL
The scale display is designed to automatically lock the reading on the display,
and store the reading in memory, once the weight is stable. If scale cannot lock
in reading due to patient movement, press the “HOLD/RECALL” button to
automatically lock the display and store the reading.
To return to WEIGH mode when finished, press the “ZERO/WEIGH” button once. The display
will become active.
Once the scale has shut down, the last stored weight can be recalled by pressing the
“HOLD/RECALL” button. Last stored weight will be displayed until the scale shuts down or the
“ZERO/WEIGH” button is pressed.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
The Portable Platform Scale contains six (6) AA alkaline 1.5-volt batteries. The low battery
indicator is displayed when the battery power is insufficient to power the scale.
Refer to Assembly Instructions (Figure 2).

CALIBRATION
NOTE: Ensure that nothing is in contact with the scale system during this procedure. Remove
hands from the system when noting the displayed calibration results.
CHECKING CALIBRATION
STEP 1: Select two (2) known calibrated weights, traceable to
NIST.
NOTE: The first weight should be at least 90 kilograms (half of the
maximum scale capacity). The second weight should be less than
half of the first weight. DO NOT USE barbells or uncalibrated
weights.
STEP 2: Zero the scale by pressing and holding “ZERO /
WEIGH”button.
STEP 3: Place the first calibrated weight on the scale. Wait for scale
to stabilize; note scale reading. Remove weight.
STEP 4: Place second calibrated weight on scale. Wait for scale to stabilize; note scale reading.
Remove weight.
STEP 5: The scale readings for both weights should be within the Calibration Tolerance Table
plus or minus one digit of displayed resolution (Figure 4).

IMPORTANT
CALIBRATION CHECK Qualified service personnel only should perform this
procedure. Load cells have no user serviceable components and should not be tampered
with for any reason. Re-calibration is generally not required, but should be verified
periodically to ensure accuracy. The recommendation for calibration check is at least
once every 12 months, or as individual maintenance policy requires.
