QUICK START INSTRUCTIONS (CONTINUED)
Body Mass Index is another name for Quetelet Index, a formula that is a convenient and reliable indicator
of obesity. NOTE: The scale will not calculate BMI for a patient that is 26.4 pounds (12 kg) or less. If a
height is not entered for the patient within 30 seconds of pressing the BMI button, the scale will return to the
normal weighing mode.

2. After obtaining the patient's weight on the scale, press the BMI (2) button while the scale is on.
3. The scale will prompt you to enter the patient's height. Use the keypad to enter the height.
NOTE: When weighing in pounds, the height is entered in ¼‖ increments. To increase the fractional
height of the patient, press ―1‖ for ¼‖, ―2‖ for ½‖ and ―3‖ for ¾‖. When weighing in kilograms, the height
must be entered in 0.1 centimeter increments.
4. Once height is keyed in, press ENTER.
