QUICK START INSTRUCTIONS (CONTINUED)
Complete steps 1 to 4 above for ―Weighing A Patient‖.
1.
After obtaining the patient's weight on the scale, press the BMI (2) button while the scale is on.
2.
The scale will prompt you to enter the patient's height. Use the keypad to enter the height.
3.
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.
The display will show the patient's BMI (Body Mass Index).
5.
6.
Press EXIT to return to the normal weighing mode of the scale.
When using the scale, the weight of an object such as shoes accompanying the patient can be
subtracted from the total weight to determine the weight of the patient alone. The Tare Function
automatically performs this subtraction. ProPlus® scales allow tare weight to be entered manually by
using the keypad or automatically, as outlined in this section.
AUTOMATIC (PUSH BUTTON TARE)
1. With all weight off the scale, press the ON/OFF button to turn on the scale.
2. Wait until ‖0.0 lb/ 0.0 oz‖ or ―0.0 kg‖ and ―ZERO‖ appear on the left side of the display.
3. Put the weight to be tared on the scale. The display will show a value for that weight.
4. Press the TARE (9) button. The scale will zero out and the word ―TARE‖ will appear in the upper
right side of the display to indicate there is a tare value for this patient.
5. Remove the weight from the scale. The display will show a negative weight equal to the weight of
the shoes or other item, once that item is removed from the scale.
6. Place the patient and the tared object on the scale. The scale will automatically deduct the tared
weight, as entered, from the gross weight of the patient and tared object.
7. The weight of the patient will appear on the scale.
8. The tared value is stored in memory until changed, cleared or the scale is turned off.
9. To remove the Tare, press the TARE (9) button again. The word ―TARE‖ will disappear from the
display and the tare value will be deleted from memory. The scale will resume normal operation.

weight, as entered, from the gross weight of the patient and tared object.
8. The weight of the patient will appear on the scale.
9. The tared value is stored in memory until changed, cleared or the scale is turned off.
