Switching off the scale
– To switch off the scale, press the
START key again.
Taring weight display (TARE)
The Tare function is very useful if an additional weight, e.g. that of a wheelchair, is to be
ignored for weighing purposes.
Proceed as follows:
– Press the Start key with no load on the
scale.
– First place the additional weight (e.g.
the wheelchair) on the scale and acti-
vate the Tare function by pressing and
holding the HOLD/TARE key.
The display is reset to zero, 0.0 flashes
in the display until weight is detected to
be stable. Only then is the Tare function
fully activated. The note “NET” appears.
– Now move the patient and the wheel-
chair previously weighed onto the scale.
The scale determines the weight of the
additional load. You can now perform
as many weighing operations as you
like. Hold the key down again to deacti-
vate the Tare function; the scale is then
back in normal weighing mode and the
tare value has been erased.
– The tare value is likewise erased by the
scale being switched off.
