Operating Instructions; Preparing The Scale For Use - Health O Meter 160KL Instrucciones De Uso

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

To avoid damaging the scale when unpacking it, do not use a box cutter, knife, scissors or
any sharp object to open the protective inner packaging. Remove mechanical floor scale
from the carton and unwrap packing material carefully, to prevent scratching the unit. Remove
the inserted cards around the scale. Set the carton aside for storage.

PREPARING THE SCALE FOR USE

This scale has been factory calibrated and cannot be calibrated by the user.
1. Place the scale on a hard and flat surface for best accuracy. Accuracy may be affected
by very soft, deep pile carpet or rugs.
2. Be sure all objects are removed from the scale's platform.
3. Step on and off the scale a few times before attempting to weigh yourself. This will align
the internal mechanism.
4. Adjust the pointer to zero, if necessary, using the zero adjustment knob at the bottom of
the scale.
Note: As you use the scale, over a period of time you may find that the pointer drifts slightly
from zero. The best time to check the zero adjustment is prior to weighing. If the pointer is not
on zero, turn the zero adjustment knob for correction.
5. Step on the scale with weight equally distributed on both feet. Stand still on the scale.
6. Once a weight has been determined and the weight measurement has been taken and
recorded, ask the patient to step off the scale.
WEIGHING HINTS
1. Make sure there is no object on the weighing platform, other than yourself.
2. Weigh yourself at approximately the same time each day. The foods you eat, the liquids
you drink, and your level of activity will cause your weight to vary.
3. For more realistic results, weigh yourself without clothing.
4. Always make sure the scale indicator is at zero before stepping on the platform.
